Certainly possible. They were #######s.

The argument that decrim is something revolutionary is a straw man.

Where did I claim that decrim was revolutionary? You arguing that I did is ironically a better example of a strawman.
If you want to argue that decrim was de facto before it became de jure, that's fine. It's not a strawman to say that decrim wasn't officially law until two years ago.
Also, during various engagement with First Nations, they have basically said that decrim is still not being applied properly in some regions of the province, and they're still facing harassment (usually from RCMP) for personal possession.
That's largely anecdotal, but it's not just one or two who have said this, and I don't think it's out of the realm of believability considering the RCMP's history with indigenous peoples.
