British Columbians are not offended by this...some might be clutching their pearls, but they could use a gram as well.

Based. Seems like a great way to start a conversation.

A better reaction would have been to never mention it all .... classic Streisand effect ... or classic shitpost

Say or do something unexpected to agitate your opponent and make them cause enough of a reaction and activity to promote your platform.

If the MLA had never acknowledged it ... there would never have been a headline in the first place and fewer people would know about this activist.

Nicely done.

I've had coca leaves. Meh. Basically caffeine. The only problem is that they can be refined into cocaine, and the effort required to turn coca into cocaine compared to making fentanyl just makes that particular restriction extra stupid.

They need an equatorial rainforest climate to grow in economic quantities anyhow. Nobody is going to import literal tons of coca leaves to make trifling amounts of cocaine.

I chewed a fair bit of coca while in South America. Pretty tame stuff.

Same. Macchu Picchu Trail, it was a big help.

Of course it's the fucking BCUPs.

The BC fascist party regardless of their current name are outraged by anything that they did not do themselves. They are the BC equivalent of the trump party.

Of all the things to be outraged by in our province...

I think it’s particularly funny that she’s wearing latex gloves. Gotta maximize those theatrics!
