But also kudos to Ravi Kahlon for actually listening to good ideas, he’s a gem in this provincial government

Fuck yeah Uytae Lee for president

I don’t understand the economics of this. For someone with addiction to harder drugs, I can see why they would trade what they get from safe supply for the harder stuff.

But what’s in it for the trafficker? Who’s buying those pills? Who are these people that want safe supply drugs instead of the harder ones? If such people exist, why aren’t they getting their supply from the program? Is it a matter of dosing, i.e. the safe supply is not offering a sufficient dose for these people?

People definitely downvote on things they don’t agree with.

This is different from downvoting because someone expressed their perspective.

getting down voted for expressing your perspective.

How do you know this is the case? Maybe there are other reasons to downvote?

I think the difference between “I can’t” and “I don’t wanna” is big enough to be worth splitting. For instance, when trying to think of reasons for men that “can’t” abandon masculinity, you’re looking for externalities (pressure). If you think about why don’t men “want to”, you’ll find plenty of self-serving reasons and rationalization, which in my opinion is a more realistic framing.

Do men feel like “they can’t abandon masculinity”? Is that a widespread feeling men have?

I don’t see it much. What I see the most is men that don’t want to abandon masculinity.

That’s great news, thanks for sharing!

So pie charts are the newest trend for dietary guides? I won’t miss the bullshit of the food pyramid but kinda surprised that it’s gone

Edit: I wasn’t expecting pyramid fans out there lol really don’t understand the downvotes

Sometimes takes multiple cycles of conservative power for the people to swing back, and sometimes the damage done in the meantime is irreparable. Lives will be ruined, lives will be lost.

Could be just a lens flare though

Amusingly the first reply in this post to self-identify is a non-vegan explaining why they’re not vegan.

This joke has always been silly but nowadays it’s ironically reversed

A tour literally called “terror tour” fits squarely into terrorism propaganda. No need to philosophize too much on intolerance paradoxes and freedom of expression debates.

Hell yes they should. Every city should. And expand labour laws to force companies to pay for some of it that would otherwise be coming out of worker paychecks. Make companies share the burden of sprawling development and car dependency. When companies decide to put their offices in Richmond and selectively hire people who commute from North Vancouver, it ruins transportation and the planet for everyone.

just need to update it to also regulate the flip side

“just need to update it” is not that simple, because if legislation forbids price adjustments in all directions it’s effectively dictating the price of the service, which is hard to defend in court. It was only justifiable to forbid cutting driver earnings because the assumption is that the company has other ways to compensate.

Why bother trying to protect Uber “consumers” anyway? If people want to make use of an exploitative service, they should pay a lot for it. Let Uber be priced out.

forbid them to pass it

This would be either illegal or unenforceable

Good. Hope it closes permanently

Of course, but you can’t fight everyone.

Clearly some can, and it’s a group large enough to make it to the headline

This might actually lead to housing prices dropping significantly.

This has been scarcely fulfilled promise so far, looks like this prediction has been a bit overestimated. I would very much welcome it but wouldn’t bet on it.

It’s not good enough.

This is a bit subjective, but not unfair.

Trudeau and his government are moving us backwards in climate change action.

Hmm, well, small steps forward is still forward movement.
