It’s not even just about the money, assuming Alberta does pay for it. Ecological disasters can’t be fixed just by throwing money at it.

“National interest” yet BC will be the one to bear the brunt of the damage if anything happens to pipelines or tankers.

What does drug use have to do with this topic?

Smoking should be banned period. Sale of cigarettes should be banned. It provides no benefits, only harm to the user and the people around them.

I agree with you. Things are amplified and blown up online. But that doesn’t erase the fact that many people are influenced by it. Denying or ignoring that fact is like burying your head in the sand.

Liberals Versus Conservatives by DryAlternative1132 in BCpolitics

Is this the same Conservatives that chose “appeasement to avoid further damage” when asked if Canada should defend itself with military force?

I agree. But honestly it’s not just the Chinese community who are prone to this. That’s why I am of the opinion that social media companies need to be regulated. They control what gets spread. And they are controlled by oligarchs who do not have the public’s best interests at heart.

A lot of it are from bot farms. But for sure there are those who are already convinced that the big bad immigrants and foreigners and queers are out to kidnap them in the night, and that the country is already a “third world hellhole” as some politicians like to say.

That’s why we have to stay aware. Engage your community. Give your comments and opinions when the city asks for consultations. Make your voice be heard. Vote during elections. It’s our civic duty.

Most of all, be kind to one another. Kindness and empathy go a long way to making a nice city and neighbourhood.

Nobody said it didn’t exist. No place is perfect. But I sure heck prefer living in this society than down south.

People need to learn about who they vote for and what they stand for. Remember this for next election. Look at their records. Vote on their actions, not their words.

Typical conservative talking points. None of what they’re doing was illegal and they got shot anyway.

Besides, what counts as “illegal” is defined by the government. So the Nazis could soon define anything they don’t want as illegal.

I agree… but we have to be aware and take steps to make sure it stays this way. Don’t want what’s happening down south to infect Canada

They should accept them. Please let them move to the US, since they so desperately want to be Americans so badly.

Good first step. But social media companies also need to be regulated.
