Nah, he's just blowing smoke about 'unleashing the private sector' and tap-dancing around questions about some of his & his candidates' more wacko statements. I mean, I worked at UBC in the height of Cambpell's public-private partnership craze. I saw what it did. Fuck off with this nonsense.

Aaand now I'm the person yelling at her tv. Drink!

Buddy, you were part of the government of cruelty that laid the groundwork for this mess. You can sit the hell down.

As I said to a friend, "If tonight's drinking game is drink every time Rustad (the guy on the political right) talks out his ass, I'm going to need a time machine to go steal a liver from my 20-year-old self."

BC leaders debate tonight. 15 minutes in, and I've managed resist yelling at the tv so far, but it's been a close one. #CanadianPolitics

Oh, but the entire purpose of poutine is to sit like a comforting potato fist in your belly and absorb excess alcohol.

I mean, I like a lot of our smoked meat products (including sausage), but you miss what you grew up with. And he's not wrong that a lot of Canadian white-people food tastes like flavour killed our pa and shall never be spoken of again.

3. We do make sausage! Lots of sausage! But @bitteroldpunk.bsky.social says our sausage is all wrong, and is an offense to smoked meat products.

2. Yes, we have cornmeal here, but it's a coarser grind than I want for things like cornbread. I've had no luck finding grits. Living in the South has spoiled me for other dried-corn-based foods. (Except tamales. I would cut someone for a decent tamale.)

In case you're wondering: 1. Yes, we can get dried beans here, but unless I drive an hour south, my choices are usually black, kidney, or navy. You want pintos? Well, aren't you fancy. I hear they have those in Victoria. Plus, Rancho Gordo beans are stupidly good.
