    Linked above is the movie they sat me down and had me watch with them. Aaron Gunn is the guy who made it. Doing some light research he’s been accused of transphobic, sexist rhetoric and complaining that BC liberals don’t support free speech which any leftist can tell you is just a dog whistle for bigotry going unpunished.

    I’m not 100% sold on some harm reduction they supposedly do in BC. Like, if you’re going to give away government produced drugs you should make it impossible for people to just hoard it and then sell it on the street, but overall the message I got out of the documentary was that drug addiction should be stigmatized and punished, which I don’t agree with.



  • Idk who they used to vote for in BC, but they told me the drug issues in Victoria and Vancouver were what drove them to vote more conservative. Showed me some documentary called “Vancouver is dying”. I’m from the US so I don’t know a lot about Canadian politics but from what I gather Danielle Smith is an anti trans fascist. They don’t seem to agree.

    They immigrated from the US and can’t stand trump but I guess they identify more with the Canadian version of George Bush era Republicans than outright fascist Republicans. I couldn’t get them to admit that Canada doesn’t have the social safety net to get everyone out of drug addiction. It’s like they think they moved to some northern utopia or something lol.
