Buck-a-beer and legal weed

On the face of it, you wouldn't think Ontario Preem Doug Ford, the hardest right-wing nutter we've seen here since the days of Mean Mike Harris, and PM Fluffy would have much in common.

But they do.

Ford rode to power on a wave of booze liberalization promises. Booze available at every 7-11 twenty-four hours a day, booze in public parks, boozed-up tailgate parties in the parking lots of CFL stadiums, and most famously, "buck-a-beer."

Trudeau, on the other hand, offered a feminist foreign policy and legal weed.

While one seems the opposite of the other, what do they have in common?


Doug wants to keep you half in the bag, and Justin wants you to have a toke on top of that...

That's right; they want us to be more or less comatose.

They're hoping that way you won't notice that minimum wage 7-11 employees are now doing the work of Beer Store and LCBO workers who used to have pensions and benefits and all that fancy stuff.

They're also hoping that you won't notice that our feminist Fluffy has aligned us with neo-fascist states like Brazil and Honduras as we lean in to overthrow the government of Venezuela. And that's just an encore after delivering the marijuana economy to Bay Street on a silver platter.

So have another beer or two, and by all means, have a toke, or maybe gorf down some of those edibles...


Doug and Fluffy need you wasted so they can keep doing their shit.
