However, lot can change in two years, and the long term effects of the recent uptick in meth-related crime in Winnipeg after his cuts to addictions counseling combined with overly restrictive pot laws could (and I mean it when I say COULD, you're also not necessarily wrong either) sway favour to the NDP, or hell even enough Liberals and Greens in some ridings, to unseat a few PC MLAs. I'm not saying the PC's are done or for sure going to lose, I'm just saying October, 2020 is pretty far off, declaring Pallister victory now is premature to say the least.

Kreez posted:What are the rules with weed and the ALR? I'm always interested in ALR stuff. No cannabis related projects on ALR can move forward without getting local government approval for a non-farm-use application, which gives every little dickweed council in BC a chance to veto projects they don't understand. Which is all of them. It's a disaster. Ontario is fine, although they have a total lack of any kind of craft producer friendly supply agreements or anything so you'll end up with bulk schwag and corporate mergers. But that's currently also a national problem because nobody thought it would be a good idea to license any of the craft growers before Day 1. And I can't exactly make fun of Ontario for having no physical stores when the delay was for the 'right reason' and BC somehow also managed to gently caress up retail without any of Ontario's excuses soooooo...

Is this a case of open field growing being economically uncompetitive, effectively making ALR land useless for cannabis growing? Or is the news release just incorrect?

Hey now, Brian Taylor, co-founder and former leader of the BC Marijuana Party is probably going to get elected mayor of Grand Forks, BC, again, today... He's been mayor there for a healthy chunk of the last twenty years and I suspect he's "weed on ALR" friendly.

There has always been much concern around paving over of high quality ALR soil.

And once the left fails there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth and even more yelling about how all of the failures of the left is anything but their fault.

Terror Sweat posted:What kind of package does it come in? Just the standard nondescript Canada Post box? Or is just the weed itself in that little box It's not even a canada post box, it's a totally plain brown square one, maybe 3/4's of a foot on each side. Standard shipping label, but does of course say sender is "BCCS". Line of red security tape over the whole middle. So fairly discrete but still going to be pretty obvious to everyone who sees a bit of mail within a few weeks. Kinda a pain in the rear end because canada post always delivers during business hours to my place, so I'm never gonna be there. Usually get everything shipped to my office but even legal I don't really want the receptionist taking note of stuff like that. Previously they could just stick the "BOB'S NUTRIENT SUPPLEMENTS" small packages or whatever the fake name was in my mailbox. This box is way too big even if there wasn't the signature / ID requirement (though the postman was just like, oh, you look way older than me, no need for that"... Dick.) Bit of a downgrade from the gray market, but who coulda seen that coming eh?

Kreez posted:I found this just now: Growing in dirt is a very limited application for the purposes of weed (like you can produce decent plants but they are not "premium" and can't serve as such) because you can't control the climate, so you're never going to grow elite stuff straight in the dirt in a soft-shell greenhouse with no climate control. On top of that, Health Canada's insane regulations require concrete surfaces for all of their GMP and quality assurance regulations. How can I do an ALR project with zero concrete when the government makes me build a fence and sink posts? How can I meet Health Canada's QA and testing standards in a dirt-floored room? Also the regulations are prejudicial to cannabis agriculture since you can pour concrete for ginseng and a host of other farm applications. This has nothing to do with 'ruining' good soil, or the regulations would have stated you can only build cannabis facilities in marginal ALR land or whatever. Half the loving ALR is fallow and unused, this is anti-cannabis NIMBY stupidity. It's loving dumb.

Not long now until Vancouver election results at 8 PST. Looking most likely to be former NDP MP Kennedy Stewart as Mayor. I think it's going to be a good night for COPE, Vancouver's socialist party, which has been kept out of council for quite some time. The right is spread quite thin while COPE has a very passionate base and has put forward a short three person slate. The polls haven't been good for the progressive Yimby party One City, but Kennedy Stewart and the Vancouver District Labour Council has been pumping that two person slate very, very hard in the last few days of the campaign (I got a mailer with Kennedy on one side and One City on the other) and I wonder if at least one of them could squeeze into council. Otherwise I think the Greens are going to have a good night since people are somewhat exhausted with the current majority Vision slate and the Greens, the other vaguely centrist political party in Vancouver, make a good default alternative that is not the right of centre NPA.

Ok, that makes sense. I could be completely wrong here, but I'm guessing there's a good chance it isn't so much anti-cannabis NIMBYism, as it is the BC government's apathy towards adding things to the list of "what's allowed". The enabling legislation for most of the permitting, licensing, zoning, etc all comes from a bazillion years ago, tends to operate on a "if it's not explicitly authorized it's not allowed" basis, and changing anything is a pain in the rear end. Unless a whole bunch of people with the ability to complain in the press make a stink about it, meetings with civil servants and whatever MLAs are willing to return your calls basically go nowhere. For example, when the ALR legislation was created, the concept of a brewery smaller than a Molson plant didn't exist, so instead of putting rules about x% of land must be used for growing stuff, and y% of raw materials used on site must be grown on site (as was done for wine, and makes perfect sense) the legislation doesn't even mention brewing, and breweries are to this day not allowed on ALR land. You can buy a 2 acre lot, build a 10,000ft McMansion on it, and "farm" $200 worth of hay per year, but you can't use that land to farm $50k+ worth of hops, and have a little 2,000sqft brewery to use them in. This rule will absolutely change the minute the craft beer industry decides it's going to be a lobbying priority and whips every craft beer nerd on twitter up into a frenzy, gets the garbage pay for coverage lifestyle blogs to write articles, and eventually get the major new outlets complaining about how behind the times the government is being. Until then, nobody in government is going to do anything more than be pleasant during the 30 minutes they allot to every would be ALR brewrey builder who tries to plead their case. Or someone who has donated $200,000 to the sitting government over the last 20 years really doesn't want cannabis grown on ALR land for whatever reason, and made it happen.

Hm mostly NPA and Green council. Whelp RIP getting anything actually useful done. I imagine it will be pretty easy for them to find common ground to vote together for whatever changes nothing at all in the sea of SFH while still bending over backwards to give developers whatever they want outside of it. Wai Young eating poo poo is my personal highlight, but still even 6% is a little disturbing for what should be a joke candidate. Just remains to be seen who pulls out for mayor.

Leonard Krog was just voted in as mayor of Nanaimo. He said if he won he would step down as an NDP MLA. Folks, we are about to get the by-election of the century. If the NDP lose this seat, it could destabilize the provincial government.

You scared me for a second there but just checked and it was 12,700 NDP vs 8,900 LIB. Can't imagine Lib support in Nanaimo is higher now than it was in the last federal election. This one is probably safe. I'd imagine the dude wouldn't have made the switch if he also didn't think otherwise.
