Municipal government is an extension of provincial government. City councils have no real power, in effect they merely advise. Their authority comes from the provincial government, who can overrule any decision they make, and even substitute their own.
They govern like a divorced dad who only has custody every other weekend for damn good reasons.
Sorry, I don't recognize you

This is the definition I always use concerning veganism. As soon as we get a benefit from something, we become biased. We lie to ourselves. Every vegan here can remember a whole lifetime of lying to ourselves. If someone still trusts themself to distinguish which forms of exploitation are "beneficial" to the animal being exploited, they haven't learned a damn thing yet.
Pros and cons vs eshell?
This nonsense with safe injection sites, politicians interfering with patent care, and the push for "involuntary treatment" in BC makes me think that the brief era of "science-based policy" where empirical data trump public ignorance is coming to a crashing end.
It really isn't. Having emotions is not weak. Pretending like you don't is weak. Expressing the emotions you have, processing them, letting them move through you, and moving on productively is not weak, it is strong. Shoving them down and the having them come out in other nonconstructive ways is not strong, it is avoidant. Allowing yourself to have emotions despite the judgement of others does not make you vulnerable, it means you are healthy and self-assured enough to support yourself emotionally.
heck compare the cost of labour 40 years ago to now
Sorry, I did what? "All of my accounts?" Do I know you?
Did you know that vegans are hated on par with drug addicts? Perhaps. Did you know that people who consume a plant-based diet for their health or for the environment are hated much less than people who are vegan because of concerns about animal welfare? I think that's interesting. People feel judged by the mere existence of ethical vegans. And I think you are demonstrating how those feelings of being judged are expressed as defensiveness and "hatred" (though I know that language seems strong in this context).
Tell him they fold flat for storage.
