Canada Just Made Pot Legal - Leftist Emigration Underway

I doubt that.

 

I agree but am just happy that in my own lifetime I finally saw a few states make it legal. Mine will be the very last and I will not live to see that, given my age.

 

then i suggest you have a thread with a poll. fyi, the majority in the us dont want pot criminalized.

 

a forum mostly populated by old almost dead white people and russian trolls, I wouldn't place too much value on the poll results...

 

Would you believe hemp was your no.1 export back in your colonial days to supply the British navy with quality rope. By law every farmer had to grow a certain percentage of hemp on their land. Very durable textiles are made with hemp and that is how Levi Strauss came to be.

 

Immigrating to Canada is a long and difficult process. You're looking at easily 3-5 years for your residency to come through. You're evaluated based on a point system. You'll be asked to send a ton of paperwork throughout these years. There's a medical exam. You need to prove you have a minimum of funds, around $10K for a 1-person household. You lose points if you're over 35 years old, also lose points if you have children. You'll also need a couple of thousand dollars for the visas. Your language competency is evaluated. Your spouse's profile also affects points. Whether your job is in a sector that's in demand also matters. Visiting Canada actually gives you extra points, some immigrants visit Canada every year just to garner that. Your education level. All that jazz. The only way you can bypass some of this process is if you have a job offer waiting for you.

No American potheads are surviving this process, they'll give up after 5 minutes.

 

I know enough self styled conservatives who smoke so this is not just a leftbor liberal problem.

 

Yeah, but what's the percentage that doesn't? (the link won't work).

 

Weird. Works for me.

 

"As of the end of November, the Immigration and Refugee Board says 16,522 asylum claims were received"

Was that 16,522 for the month of November, or since the beginning of the year, or over the previous 10 years? Jesus getting a simple answer to a simple question on this Board is like getting blood from a stone!

 

As of November generally means since the beginning of the year.

 

Wow! Free pot and free medical coverage. A leftist's dream, except they will be chagrined at the lack of open borders into Canada.

 

Pot in Canada!!!! Another reason for all the Trump haters to leave the country as they said they were going to.

 

Legal marijuana is in California, Oregon, Washington, Vermont, Massachusetts and probably New York by the end of the year.

No reason to move anywhere.,

 

But all the radical left wingers said they were going to leave. Now they have a good reason not to be liars.

 

why would they leave if there is lots of legal marijuana right here in the Good Ol' US of A?

 

Are you saying you approve of all the left winger lying when they said they would move to Canada if Trump won.

 

this thread is about legalized marijuana in Canada, not the 2016 election.

take your derail elsewhere

 

It's already legal right here in Colorado. Why would I want to go to Canada. Also how is pot legalization leftist?

 

i thought it was very Libertarian.

 

We're gonna build a sky bridge instead of a wall!

 

Im a 1 hour flight/8 hour drive from Montreal.

no need for me to move anywhere.

Plus Massachusetts and Vermont.

 

more classical liberal

 

Generally but not always. In this case it could mean when the most recent stats were published using a notional historical point in time. That's why I asked, especially given the big number of 16,522; it just seemed a lot for almost a year.
