@interneteh We have a similar situation in #Canada when conservatives get in government. They slash budgets and cut the scope of government to the bone, then complain about how little the bureaucracy does, how long it takes to get service, and how ineffective they are. This is happening in #Ontario now, as they recently elected a mini-Trump named Doug Ford.

I am sure the same thing happens in the US and elsewhere as well.

Come on #NZLabour, we're already behind #Canada, and the #USA is now well on the way towards legalizing recreational cannabis at the federal level:

Let's prove that #Aotearoa can still be a principled, global leader of brave political changes, rather than a craven follower of fashion. #Referendum2020 #MakeItLegal

"What if #Canada had spent $200bn on wind energy instead of #oil?"

"Since 1999, more than $200bn has been invested into the #Alberta oil sands for that future. But what if that cash had gone into wind energy instead?"

The UCP is just blatantly admitting they don't care about public opinion and that they'll deliberately try to move legislation at a pace that's too quick for people to organize and oppose. Disgusting.

The House of Commons has passed a motion to strip Aung San Suu Kyi of her honorary Canadian citizenship, which was bestowed in 2007. Once a pro-democracy activist and political prisoner, the politician has stood by while the Myanmar military persecuted Rohingya Muslims - actions that are increasingly being recognized as genocide.

Holy shit. I did not expect this. It's almost certainly blown whatever small chance the NDP had of being re-elected. Probably, though, it's for the best in the long term. Regardless of environmental impacts, First Nations need to be *meaningfully* consulted, particular in BC where there are no treaties and everything is on unceded land.

There might end up being TOO MUCH weed in the legal market in Canada, at least initially, as suppliers rush to meet demand and out compete one another for market dominance. In theory, this should keep prices low for the time being. Is this a rare example of capitalism favouring the consumer?
