This isn't about if the drug in question is "harmless" or  "non harmless".

If you want to get into that, then the only logical conclusion we can do here is that the prohibition of pot has led to the situation where the markets are controlled by criminals. This has nothing to do with the qualities of the drug, but it's legal status.

How many people were shot and killed in raids during the alcohol prohibition? This is same kind of waste of human life.

People, Four men died in the performance of their duty. Have some respect for their memory and the loss to their families.

Take the drug arguement to it's own thread please.

May all you pot heads really get a good buzz with your next toke, four mounted police paid for your privilege with their lives today.


Agreed its a sad day about these guys.

But your following statement is silly.

A very large percentage of the Pot sold and smoked in your everyday neiighborhood wasnt imported from Canada, or Mexico, Or columbia.
Thats not where the higher quality stuff comes from anymore But rather Grown right IN that neigborhood.

I'd be willing to bet that that in most urban and suburban neighborhoods there are at least 3 people within a 10 block radius growing high quality stuff.

The fact that sadly these guys were killed int he line of duty has more to do with the shooter being a criminal then it does the pot itself.

Dont blame the pot. blame the shooter.

Bad news .. Leo Johnston, 33 was the guy I graduated with.  Kind of in shock ..... he has an identical twin brother.  My thoughts are with his family.

Hey Canadians,

I'm admitting I am ignorant in the ways of Canadia So I have a question pertaining to the subject.

Is it true about the Mounties, that they are great at what they do?  And are well respected/not to be crossed kind of thing?

All I have is American TV to guide me so I wanted to hear it from the source.

Appearently you don't want to mess with them. That's the word on the street anyways.

As far as cops go... I have been to almost every province and every state in this here North America and I have never seen anything like Alberta cops. butterin' storm troopers.

WOW that's a shocker to me.  I'm not being sarcastic here at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I get the impression that Canada is generally a peacfull place to live were the police are fair.

AGAIN NO SARCASM HERE

this is partially based on the impression that M. Moore gives in his ::CAUGH propaganda films CAUGH:: movies.

but thanks for the info.

Heh .. lived in Alberta my whole life and have yet to find a 'storm trooper'.  I'm sure there are a few in every police force who think their **** don't stink, but overall they are not overly zealous.

The worst offense I have had though is a speeding ticket.  I'm sure if you were a **** disturber like Nash you'd see them in a different light:D

Well.... I don't mean to imply that they just go around beating on people or anything like that. Not always.

But there's a certain tradition involved...

Calgary the city was like the wild west of Canada... it evolved from a single Mounted Police fort, built and staffed solely to stave off the bootleggers that used to come up through Montana, and it was lawless here for many years. Until that fort.... which became a city.

One of my favorite places to fish is called Policeman's Flats. It's an area outside of town, by a river that they used to bring bad folks to in order to beat the living daylights out of them.

These days, they just drive folks outside the city limits in the dead of winter and kick them out of the car. We're talking -30 degrees.

The penal system.... What I did in other places would mean one of two things: a blind eye or merely dumping the stuff down the gutter. Here it nets you an automatic 1-2 years.

Inmates shank people for no other reason than just to get transfered out of the province.

So....

I don't mean to imply that they go berzerk or anything... but it's just generally a bad place to commit crime. And well... it is quite peaceful here.

AGAIN I was serious in my question.  I just wanted to know if the Mounties were as respected as I've heard and if Canadia police were the same as the impression I get from the media.

I'm at least honest in my ignorance here.  :)

I can only speak for myself.  I think that the RCMP is a source of pride for Canadians.  It is a force that spans all of Canada with a rich history dating back to 1873 when the 'Northwest Mounted Police' was formed.
