U guys have common sense and legalize marihuana
Canadians are cool :)
-
It's been legal for some time.In fact, our government has contracted several people to grow it for them.
It's also legal for a woman to walk down the street topless if she so chooses.
Both of these policies were the result of legislation passed by our current Liberal Party.
-
That explains a lot.
-
Newsflash: Queues 10 miles long have formed today at US customs checkpoints all along the US - Canadian border. Thousands of Americans are heading for Canada, reasons unknown. The Canadian tourism minister was last seen rubbing his hands, laughing like a maniac and sporting a new pair of contact lenses with dollar signs imprinted on them.

lol...Yup, the liberals have their prioties straight...legalize herb and public nudity....meanwhile the Prime Minister is about to resign over a spat with his Finance Minister which has all but torn apart their own party.
Don't get me wrong...I think they have the right idea with these particular laws...but I wouldn't put the Liberals on a pedestal quite yet.
Swoop..lol!
-
I guess all Canadians will be heroin addicts in a couple of weeks. Too bad.
-
i highly doubt that popeye.
i very higly doubt it. and just because theres government contractors growing the herb doesnt mean that people are going to be getting it for a while. mostly people will still have to contact someone on the street.
-
and where's that post about Canadian prostitutes and drug users wanting to sue....hmmmmm

Pot is NOT legal in Canada yet, don't believe that previous poster. It IS legal IF you can get a doctors approval for it, and then you need glaucoma or some other ailment.
Hundreds of people across the country are charged with possesion, traffic, and manufacture of mary J every day still.
This law will overturn all previous convictions, as well as make pot use legal, AND controlled by the government.
In other words the economy in British Columbia will absolutely tank. 10 billion CASH a year is injected by the users/growers/distributors DIRECTLY into the Canadian economy, mostly in B.C. Pot will likely no longer be a profitable side venture for people any longer, not when you'll be able to buy it in stores, IE stores under fed control. When the fed gov't decides to take all that money for itself, or at least a large whack of it....well, don't expect a "transfer" payment back to the province anytime soon BC guys. It'll all get rolled into health care.
This is all just another Liberal party scam. It sounds good to users of pot, but in the long run it won't be.
Also realize that at any given time there is 250+ US agents from the BATF, DEA, and FBI in the lower mainland in BC. This is a symbol of the commitment of the US's war on drugs. They will go absolutely crazy if Canada legalizes it. Think of the wait at borders, if you'll still even be able to get across.

"So then your honour,I ask the defendant to answer "Yes" or "No" to my question...
"Is Marihuana LEGAL in Canada?"..."Your Honour...Please instruct the defendant to answer"...
"Do I have to answer?" says GMAN..
The Judge takes a moment to cement the moment...
"Yah Mon!!"

Pot is not legal yet. But here in Vancouver you can walk down the street and spark a fatty and not have to worry about cops smashing your head into the pavement.
Its been that way here for 10 years, very lax as far as pot smoking goes. They prefer to bust the growers.
Dog out........
-
uh..Yes it IS legal Wardog.
-
No, its not.. unless its for medical purposes. Put the bong down and take a deep breath.

From what I understand. Trafficing is illegal, actual pot smoking is not.

Interesting reading for our US counter parts...
http://www.canada.com/victoria/story.asp?id={3C0770E1-B77E-4C16-8567-7E5228D9AF67}
"The Supreme Court will be greatly emboldened and empowered by nine Senate members unanimously saying legalize marijuana,'' reasoned Emery. "A lot of us suspect that all along the House of Commons wants the Supreme Court to rule on this so they can go to the Americans and say, `It's not our fault. It was that Liberal-minded court.'''

*starts doing search on Canadian citizenship*

When I seen "WTG Canada", I figured there would be news on how they finally might be guarding their own shores.
Huh, silly me!
:)

What don't you understand about LEGAL Wardog?
-
From what I understand. Trafficing is illegal, actual pot smoking is not.
SMOKING IT IS ILLEGAL smoking it means possesion possesion is ILLEGAL right now.
and we dont even know if legalizing pot will go thru. all that happened was the senate decided unamounisly that it should be legal to posses and smoke. TRAFFICING will still be illegal. trafficing as in sellin a doob to some kid. people would have to be over 16 and buy from fed. stores.
here take a look at the REAL story (from the edmonton journal)

Sirloin..
Exactly what do you have in that Bong??

A senate commitee simply called for the legalization of weed; thats all, but I'm sure someday soon those who don't need it to medicate will also be legally havin' coughin' fits and all that:D
Yo! Wardog! We the only Lower Mainlanders here?!
-
Well Canada is a bit higher up on the map than the US. I guess it does make sense then.

From who do we have to guard OUR boarders from? Is there an international threat to Canada that we might not be familiar with?
Edit: Cripes but I'm angry now. Full two world wars Canadan has been there from the get go. Full 36/36 UN operations Canada has been there. And one American operation in Afghanistan, we sent a regiment to have the Americans back. At no point in time were any of these a direct threat to Canadian sovierncy. But, still we sent our young men and women off to battle. Canada does not exist to protect the US's northern frontier. How many 9/11 terrorists came through from Canada? How many came through directly to the US?
-
...and more Canadians were killed by Americans in Afganistan than by the "enemy".

wait a minute... sirloin and wardog are brothers?

The measure to legalize the use of marijuana for recreational purposes has not yet been approved. I was on an international conference call with our corporate counsel in Toronto and they said they've been laughing about it all week.

police chief Bob Wasylyshen "The direction i'd hope we would go would be to advocate for a drug free society"
Humm 'advocate' ... does this mean he'd like to convince people not to do drugs rather than be a Nazi and throw them in jail for not agreeing with what he's and advocate for?
Anyway my point is ... isn't this guy saying what any free minded NORTH American man would say ... advocate what you like but don't force it? Proably not ... that would be one leap to far for a nazi pig ... or is he a cop? guess time will tell. I hope he's a cop that may some day see some guy light up a Nug and not care or have to care. But i doubt it, I have litte faith sometime :(.
well anyway Canada GL you've got some better people in office than ours; it sounds like
(ours like breaking the constituion in the name of 'safety' fek that safety ain't worth it)
-
Canada!
This easily surpasses Canadian bacon as the best thing to ever come out of your country. I've also noticed higher than average temperatures in my town which is about 15 miles from Washington, DC. Think it's coming from the foreheads of all anti drug lamers in my govt that you've just pissed off :D :D :D
-
Thrawn many terrorists come thru Canada due to lax immegration laws. For example the guy they call the Millenium Bomber, it is a very interesting story. Far as I am concerned we all need to stick together. Being a cop myself I know that pot is a bad thing, but there are far greater evils out there we need to be concerned with.
-
You guys down south will be thanking us later when this legislation goes through...It'll sorta be like the Al Capone days with black market shipments of British Columbia weed...except the guys selling you your "stuff" will be a lot more dangerous than your old school mobster...Until prohibition is lifted once again.
BTW,I never smoke week(but I know a lot that do)..The worst thing I ever saw a stoned person do was overdose on potatoe chips...Unlike the raging drunks who get braver with every drink.
It's freedom of choice if you ask me...:)

Possibly...but then they get across the borders due to lax US border checks?

I guess this explains why most Canadian posters (on political and social topics) come off like '60s Berkley students...

And visa versa, some of you posters come off like those that did the shooting at Kent State.

Curval, are you trying to say the US can't guard its borders?? I resent that......(well, not really)
-
You guys wanna stop pissing off the Canadians?
We in the US owe them alot.
They took in most of our French for us.
They gave us John Candy.
(but then again they also gave us William Shatner, Jim Carrey and Micheal J. Fox)
They have better beer than we in the US have, and it's is fairly easy to sneak back across the border.
But most importantly they are a friendly people, in fact Canadians are said to be so friendly they rarely leave a buddy's behind. :D

Its is very hard to stop someone who dedicated to a cause. I have worked check points on the Mexican border with the US Border Patrol. Most of what they find is due to luck. I can only imagine what takes place up North.

I was going to say thank you for relieving us of our French but didn't want to piss off half the country.
William Shatner defines over-acting and is a national Canadian treasure.
And I'm not touching the "buddy's behind" comment.

Nev Cambell,Shania Twain, Leslie Nielson, Dan Ackroid, Pamela (come in Tokyo) Anderson. And a ton more.
I love it up here, now if they only let us have guns like in the US.. Id be happy.

Oh, but you can and then some, in fact you can own some things up here without even having to register them (m203 is a good example) which require class 3 permits or worse in the USA.
The only trouble is is you can't do much with them LIKE you can in the USA with all the stupid classes and restrictions regarding use and transport.

canada also declared war on japan one day earlier than the u.s. so we stood alone against japan for one whole day.

Oh, I think it was a bit more than that. And we weren't alone.
I think you are confusing some issues. Canada declared war, one day after Great Britain and her colonies did.

Anyway i'd like to add "very drunk" that 'americans' can kiss my bellybutton if they don't give up thier 'nazi' 'commie' ways and just let people live in thier VICTIMLESS "crimes" ... soon they will find the effects of brain drain ....
why do you think america is powerful now?
because people with 'brains' left behind an opressive country to a 'free' one. People with a drive.
I hope we can right ourselves before we fall into the path of every 'old' country and think we know better for every one else.
Look at history ... do we want an american 'brain drain' from our stupid power hungry Washinton fek's? I don't think so;
i think it's time we voted for ANYTHING but democrat or republican
but that's proably too much to ask for.
so i guess this educated guy will move if this keeps up.
I'm tired of them takeing advantage of people who know 'less'.
(i've had jobs where i'm supposed to take advantaged of this fact)
if you think this is good maybe that's america ... if so i'm moveing.
and no i'd hate moveing .. i LOVE the USA but ..... people have a way of makeing great things bad if they are sttubron/evil.
in my experiance sttubron and evil go hand in hand.
PLEASE ARGURE WITH ME .. GIVE ME REASON TO STAY.
P.S. btw this ain't about 'drugs' this is about 'americans' being pig headed 'nazis' throwing the constitution out the window in the name of 'safety' and 'family values'
i'd love to hear someone disagree without useing a tangent. but i doubt you can do it . ( but like i said before some people may buy your BS .. but beware the brain drain)
I've had a perfectly legal job that i've come home from feeling dirty. Maybe i should take up dealing drugs?.. at least it's honest ;well maybe not.. but i think you get the point.
go on beliveing CNN then, and disagree with me; unless you have a 'real' argument?

America isn't the America that was created some 225 years ago. The power of america has made us weak. People no longer know what freedom is, and few understand that freedom isn't free. The concept of having to fight for freedom is forign to most people. People are willing to sacrifice thier freedom in order to save the lives of a few hundred, maybe a few thousand people. (Which are really insignificant numbers when you look past how terrible it is)
The problem with freedom is that people sometimes will die. Deaths that could have been prevented by a police state. That doesnt make the coming police state a good idea.
The problem has nothing to do with the government. People take freedom for granted. The idea of giving up little bits of it here and there are okay with most as long as there is no immediate effect.
Like the social security card, which was originally "Not for identification", once a system is in place, and has been accepted, it will be twisted to be used for any possible purpose. Saying "It won't be used for anything that might invade your privacy" really means "We'll wait untill you get used to it before we do anything you wouldn't like now".
-
<< Canadian, and f*cking proud of it. ;)
No really, I hate this republican propaganda that wants to make Canada look evil. Hell if we're evil, just invade us and take over, add a dozen more states ... hmm?
This is, the US government is concerned because :
1 - We aren't obsessed with federal security
2 - We don't have ANY enemy.
Why do you think the Canadian army is so small? What's the point!?! We have about 25 ships maximum (including a few subs, either existing or under construction), and a few tens of thousand mens, mostly sent to support american assaults, or as part of relief and peacekeeping operations. Althought I beleive the army, for it'S size, is a little underfunded.
And to think that in afganistan we broke the world record for the longest sniper range kill with 2,430 meters (or 7972 feets, or 2658 yards, or 1,51 mile)

If you think there are no Canadian targets on Osama's hit list, you are as naive as we were 13 months ago.
Canada has the same strikes against it as does any western nation in the minds of those who have twisted the Islamic Theology.
-

Because ours is so large, you don't think we would actually let someone invade North America, do you?
