  • Not in Quebec, you have to be over 21, you can’t grow it in your yard, you have to buy it from shitty gov stores that aren’t allowed to tell you anything about the actual products and you can’t smoke it in most public places.

    We’re lucky at least that Montreal is Montreal and we can do mostly what we want without being harassed by the pigs but our provincial government is a conservative trash pile that desperately needs to go.


  • I’m part of the rest of society and I agree with their methods. I haven’t been propagandized into thinking protests shouldn’t be disruptive (ignorable). They’ve got you thinking minor inconvenience = utter contempt (which for some reason you chose to write two comments in a row), and that for some reason deserves prison time.

    Think about it, really, imagine this was coming from someone you respect enough to make you consider changing your mind; should protests that cause no bodily harm be a criminal offence? Should the people not have a way to truly disrupt the system if our existence is at stake? Is the convenience of the ignorant more important than our survival? I’d love to hear your honest answers to these questions.


  • I really don’t mind if the mildly inconvenienced thousands of people. If in a functioning democracy our powers are threefold - the vote, the media and protest, and peaceful protest by its very nature is a protest that can be ignored, then no change can be affected by non disruptive protest. In my opinion this isn’t disruptive enough. If we treated this climate crisis with the urgency it deserves then we would take a page out of the European book and block highways with concrete bollards.

    Make no mistake, our children will burn and we’re worried about missing a flight.
