I think it's white p envy ... he is generally pretty mild mannered and a safe choice. That and there hasn't really been any worthy candidate to challenge him. But honestly, I don't know how old he is but he is getting cranky and a bit senile.

C'mon Badhobz, take a run for the mayor job.

We spent like 30 years on appeasement and harm reduction. Clearly it failed. Why don't we try a new method, law & order. stop funding all those "non-profit" organizations that feed off the poverty industry. minimum jail sentence or ship all the bums to bowen island hunger game style lol

^ a bit of sarcasm detected, not sure.

But harm reduction alone obviously failed or spending most of your $$ on harm reduction without treatment, rehab, etc. Apparently, it is a 1-3 month wait if someone wants to go into a detox rehab program. Have to reduce that wait time. If fact, I know it is against the Civil Liberties union folks but I would force someone to go into treatment if they came to a safe injection site. You want to come in, you have to participate in a detox program. It's called tough love.

Im sure in this day and age my platform will be cancelled in like 2 seconds as being racist

I think it's more confounding that Richmond is debating a safe injection site, meanwhile the city STILL has not allowed a single Cannabis dispensary, a product that is entirely legal in Canada.

Ass backwards city.

Allowing weed dispensary might just cost Brodie his next election

Yup, that's her. 10000% her work HR department will be calling her and possibly fire her? *her office is at #5 rd. LOL.

In an ironic twist of development, VCH is not pursuing a safe injection site in Richmond ... maybe they heard the push back.

So eff you Kash Heed !!

VCH not moving forward with stand-alone supervised consumption site in Richmond

Even before the vote they had mentioned they do not see the rationale behind building a standalone SIS in Richmond (this is why Councillor Loo reversed her original vote when she learned of this).

That said, they do say they feel other harm reduction and intervention services may be useful to consider implementing.

Maybe this was a tactic, to ask for something huge first but then when the consolation/alternative is a smaller but step in right direction people will be less up in arms about it.

whitev70r 02-14-2024 03:06 PM
^ haha ... if that was their strategy, that was a genius move. Cuz if VCH said, we are thinking of building a detox rehab facility ... all the naysayers who said, 'we are not against drug users, we have compassion for them, should do prevention and treatment, blah blah, blah ... " now would have to eat their words. Something tells me they would freak at the thought of a rehab facility in Richmond.

But if so, again, brilliant strategy !!

Give 'em a taste of the Daddy's Grill mixed wrap and the XLB from R&H (fuck u hobz' the ginger is great) they'll totally forget about fentanyl and crystal meth.

I think given the location being separated by a bridges/transit, Richmond has not had to face challenging issues that other municipalities have. e.g. one councillor yesterday took credit for the small number of drug-related deaths was BECAUSE of the decisions they've made around drug policy.

Additionally the makeup of the citizens are fairly similar-minded when it comes to political perspectives, and do not cause much noise at the municipal level (same cannot be argued on a federal level, e.g. money laundering, drugs, etc.).
Lifetime Richmond resident here, you are correct... up until the recen debates on home sizes and improper use of farm land... that's the only partisan issue I can think of where the automaticness of him being voted in has been threatened.

Speaking of XLB, I tried the authentic Shanghainese food court place (Hao Chi Lai) that came highly recommended by Badhobz, and while it was quite good (and cheaper to boot than the stall at the other end of the food court -- Long's), overall my Cantonese palate still prefers the XLBs from Long's.

I can already foresee how I'm gonna get into a fist fight with Badhobz if we end up meeting in person. Over XLB. BrokeBack

Canadian family with 8 children sell everything and move to Russia to get away from the gays. A month later they are not to happy. They don't even speak Russian from the looks of it.

Wait a sec. Isn't Long's owned and operated by Shanghainese? I recall the lady there had a phenomenal memory!

LOL what a bunch of morons. Now they're going to get their assets seized by the Russian government and come back running back to Canada (if they can) and get on the welfare.

Reminds me of this family...The guy is white, the woman muslim. For some reason my Youtube algorithm put these idiots on my feed, maybe cause I watch a bunch of travel vids?:

Imagine being a cis white guy in Canada with every possible advantage handed to you at birth, marrying a muslim woman, converting and then bitching about "racism" and "wokeness"

*shakes head*

^They might move, but guarantee they won't give up their Canadian Citizenship!

I didn't know Honda had 8 kids?

Hondaracer 02-15-2024 05:19 PM
Kids are for duds bra

I have been to Russia though and while I only went to st.petersburg anything directly outside of the city limits is like going back to the 1800’s. So I doubt they found much improvement over Canada lol
