Vancouver mayoral candidate pledges to lower taxes for pro-pot stores

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      You may have seen some barely legible graffiti around Vancouver touting the "Stop Party" and a mayoral candidate calling himself Meynard Aubichon.

      Aubichon has a SoundCloud account, on which he makes some interesting, scurrilous, and offensive claims about local politicians.

      He also makes these, er, unconventional proposals:

      • Waive development fees for residents with marijuana or prostitution convictions.
      • Hire "pot cops" to fight ISIS.
      • Lower property taxes by two percent for pro-pot stores.
      • Raise property taxes by two percent for stores that are not pro-pot.

      That's not all. Check out the campaign's weird soundtrack below.

      Also: Aubichon says he's running for prime minister in 2015.

      As batty as he sounds, he does make a few fair points about residential areas and "bylaws".

      These are not the civic outcomes you are looking for... Go along with your business.
