You're taking a reasonable position and pushing beyond it's reasonable limits.
that is what things like the SPCA and law enforcement are for.
SPCA is a non-profit society. I don't think they have the resources to hunt down puppy mills actively trying to subvert prohibition. RCMP is a national police force. I'm fairly certain puppy mills would fall near the bottom of their priorities list.
Prohibition never works as a substitute for regulation. Look at alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. Not only does prohibition utterly fail at eliminating these practices, it demonstrably exposes people to exploitation and harm.
Prohibiting animal breeding would just mean that the people who chose to do it would have no incentive to ensure their animals aren't subjected to cruelty or harm.
I think we'll see the wave function flip soon enough. Some young people are actively seeking the analogue world that they are too young to remember.
Schools are realizing hand written assignments do have a place in the digital age. School admins are finally stepping up and restricting cellphone usage during class times.
Parents are realizing ipads and youtube are infinitely worse than the saturday morning cartoons that filled older generations screen time.
I have a hunch we're going to see a hard swing back to analogue tech like cash, paper & pen, and face to face activities.
I got family in AB... The parents believe the bullshit. But their kids all have lgbqt+ friends and as they get older it's clear they're low key seeing through the bullshit their parents don't.
One silver lining with the whole tariffs bs is that the American automotive industry is one of the biggest government lobbyists. That's why the majority of drunk drivers only get charged with Manslaughter instead of murder. Also why our city infrastructure remains carbrained.
I can make exceptions for holiday specials. Like I generally skip Treehouse of Horror Simpsons episodes unless it's Halloween where we watch them back to back.
How conservatives hate a party that keeps buying them pipelines is beyond me.
But looking at the Fairy Creek resistance I think Carney is underestimating how many people are willing to physically fight to protect the environment. The RCMP have really only been dealing with non-violent protestors. People who believed the government would step in and do what's right. When that faith is gone all bets are off.
A lot of British Columbians are looking south at Washington to California and wondering if we have more in common with them than Ontario... and Carney is certainly not helping.
That's why I'm on lemmy.ca... Trauma bonding with my fellow Canadians lmao!
It was cathartic on my end as well. Thanks my dude!
