@VanCityVice @Gompers_Stomper @CityNewsVAN 😂😂😂 and by "way more people" you mean 46 deaths/100k rather than 44/100k? In that entire wall of text that you never even once tried to explain why it was the drugs' fault one year and decrim's the next. Conservatives need to learn that facts don't care about their feelings.

Ok , Son The government tried a big new rule: People can use super dangerous drugs anywhere they want. No punishment!" Here's what happened: Deaths: Right away, way more people died from the bad drugs. The very first year had the MOST deaths ever over 2,500! Like losing a whole school full of grown-ups. Chaos: People started using drugs right on playgrounds, sidewalks, and in parks. Needles everywhere. Stores got robbed every day. Shops closed because it was too scary and messy. Misery: Families were super sad watching moms, dads, brothers and sisters get really sick from drugs. Everyone felt scared and unhappy. Cities started looking yucky and unsafe. Money problems: Stores and restaurants lost lots of money. People stopped visiting. Workers couldn't work. The city got poorer because everything was broken or closed. Broken bodies: Lots of people didn't die but their brains got hurt really bad when they stopped breathing. They couldn't walk, talk, or remember things anymore. They stayed sick forever. Kids without parents: So many moms and dads died that thousands of kids lost their parents. Those kids got really sad, scared, and had no home. They had to live with other people or in special homes. The government finally said: "This didn't work at all." And they threw the rule away. They tried letting drugs be free. It made everything worse. They stopped it. no have good night, don't let the bed bugs bite

@VanCityVice @Gompers_Stomper @CityNewsVAN Right, so all the drugs toxicity deaths in 2022 were caused by toxic drugs, whereas all the drug toxicity deaths in 2023 were somehow instead caused by decriminalization? Fascinating. Can you elaborate?

@RedGreenBC @Gompers_Stomper @CityNewsVAN Right there on your own graph: 2023 - 2591 , 2 thousand , 1 thousand, 2 or more = THOUSANDS. Peak deaths hit exactly when decrim launched. Thousands kept dying under your experiment until it was gutted.

@VanCityVice @Gompers_Stomper @CityNewsVAN Why bother replying at all if you can't or won't either answer the original questions, or even clarify your previous non-answers?

@RedGreenBC @Gompers_Stomper @CityNewsVAN Decrim Jan 2023 → record 2,589 deaths. NDP rolled it back → deaths crashed to 1,826 in 2025. Even your NDP bosses admitted: “It didn’t work.” Your cop tweet proves nothing. Experiment failed, chaos was real

@VanCityVice @Gompers_Stomper @CityNewsVAN Can you point out on the graph for us the decrim policy that you literally just claimed CAUSED thousands of deaths? Or do you prefer your ideological narrative to actual data?

@VanCityVice @Gompers_Stomper @CityNewsVAN Don't try twisting out of your own words. You didn't just say decrim "didn't work" as an experiment, you said it "led to" 1000s of deaths. Scroll up and read your own words again. If it's to blame for those 1000s of deaths, why were they already rising? x.com/i/status/20510…

@VanCityVice @Gompers_Stomper @CityNewsVAN "a policy adopted in 2023 and ended in 2026 is the cause of our province's thousands of drug deaths" 🤡🤡🤡

@VanCityVice @Gompers_Stomper @CityNewsVAN vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/01/15/bc-… And have there been vastly more arrests? More convictions? I.e. literally any of the things that decrim fearmongers said were the only way to reduce toxic drug deaths?

@ElokoMode @ChazakielDoremi Depressing to think how wrongly people are doing Amsterdam tourism

@RedGreenBC @ChazakielDoremi But a whole new generation has only known the Netherlands through the boom of Amsterdam tourism and its new status as a white Wakanda. So they vaguely know about Rembrandt but they think about engineering first.

Spinoza was Dutch. Erasmus was Dutch. Huygens was Dutch. Lippershey was Dutch. Van Leeuwenhoek was Dutch. There is tremendous Dutch literature though it is rarely read outside the country because of the difficulty of translation. Half the world's best painters were Dutch.

@ElokoMode @ChazakielDoremi This is a real phenomenon but if you think of microprocessors when you think of the Netherlands instead of Rembrandt you're just a moron

@ChazakielDoremi I call this the Peekaboo Principle. The notoriously incurious Angloids will just assume that something doesn't exist if they haven't personally heard of it. Then they will start arguing based on that assumption

Hmmm. I didn’t realize “pragmatic” meant “regressive” in Liberal speak.

Probably, but it's also an extremely handy way for Marxists to refer to what capitalists call "human nature" or the "profit motive" or what liberals call "greed" without ever actually saying those words

@getfiscal @low_dosage Happy birthday don! 🥳🥳🥳

Having a nice birthday (this is an older picture)

Ben Gvir celebrated his 50th birthday yesterday with many government ministers in attendance and Netanyahu calling to wish him Happy Birthday. This was the cake they made him...

He's an idiot but I'll always respect Justin gaethje for getting genuinely pissed off at refs for making him hit KOed fighters lol

I enjoy a Comeuppance as much as the next guy but I think most mma referees should be in jail man jesus

Incredibly gusty win by the Cavs. Wow.

Fascinating research about slave trade in Eastern Europe. Do you know that at least 5 million people from Lviv to Moscow were captured and sold from Crimea overseas in 15-18 centuries? After West Africa, the region was the largest source of slaves in the early modern world. 1/6
