Yes, trying to distract people by having on line polls about less significant matters like license plates and speed limits to give the illusion of participation while taking away fundamental rights is deceptive. However, this is how Smith and her gang have operated for a long time so I am not surprised.

No doubt they also hope that their latest medical privatization plan will not get noticed in the uproar about the notwithstanding clause. It is very MAGA, creating a controversy to be a distraction from something else.

Got milk? Rural municipalities in Alberta back efforts to legalize sale of raw dairy

Small-town mayors and politicians say the best way to fight ' black market milk' is to bring the raw dairy trade into the open.

I grew up on raw milk for over a decade, as did most other people in the rural area I lived and we all survived without serious illness, hospitalization or death. So I don't think occasionally providing some extra milk to family friends or neighbours would be a catastrophe and it certainly shouldn't be penalized. However, it is probably not a good idea to turn it into a more commercial operation.

My Mom said the same thing.

Raw may even be somewhat healthier as there's no added sugar in it.

I knew some dairy farmers in Cold Lake, one guy drank unpasteurized milk and shit his pants in the field.

Not sure what benefit you expect from it, but I can almost guarantee it isn't worth shitting your pants.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's not for everyone but a good shitting in the pants is a nice way to clear the gut out! Better out than in as my father-in-law says!
 
It's a verifiable fact that people died by the thousands due to milk borne illnesses prior to pasteurization. Vaccines also combat those illnesses, but the Venn diagram of people who crave untreated bovine udder secretions and cower at the thought of vaccines is a perfect circle. I guess we long for the days when infant mortality was over 15%.
