When Canada legalized pot in 2018 it gave provinces the ability to remove home cultivation from the rules. So Manitoba, Quebec and Nunavut did just that.
We have shit areas just like America does, often led by right-wing nut jobs.
In Nevada, you can only grow weed if you're 25 or more miles from the nearest dispensary. It's super clear this law is about protecting profit.
Yup. Gov'ts and BIG marijuana corps must have their pound of flesh.
You Canadians do a bang-up job hiding your conservatives from international news. Most people outside of Canada think all Canadians are lovely people who want to give you a hug, and some maple syrup.
Only one of those things is true. 🤭
I wouldnt want to share my maple syrup either
Its well known canadians pour all their hate into the geese and send them out to the world
HEY!
If you got a problem with Canadian gooses then you gotta problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate!
What should be more well known is the fact that Canada is half the reason we have the Geneva Conventions! Y'all were fucking brutal in WW1.
Did they maple syrup board people?
I know you're joking, but if you remember the story of the Christmas Truce, the Germans tried to meet the Canadians under a banner of truce, unarmed, and Canadian troops just gunned them down, anyway. Now shooting a combatant that wants to make nice is a war crime. WW1 Canadians were Canadians who stopped saying "sorry". Although, in Canada's defense, they were still a British Colony at that time and were used as shock troops and frontline troops during WW1. So, they were the first to fall to machine gun fire from the Germans. There were a lot of cases of Germans surrendering and Canadians saying, "Hard no, bud!" Eventually an entire Regiment was disbanded and their military spending was ordered to be cut by 25%.
And say sorry for simply existing.
