Hello Cath,

Thanks for giving me the update on the legalizing of pot in Canada. I see obstacles developing based on your fine analysis.

: Hello Stormy

: Chilly Canadian as in chilly cold
: or chilly in relationships with the US
: both are happening at the moment

: let me tell you about chilly and a
: crappy Nafta deal
: steel, soft wood lumber, beef, and
: the big one oil and pipelines

: Obama put the screws to us up here
: got 3/4 of a pipeline - keystone built
: while he built 12,000 miles of pipeline
: to start selling oil
: so the US is now our competitor
: but we have to sell our oil cheaper than the US
: because we get to sell it to the US first
: silly us for not building our own pipeline here

: oops legalized pot
: in a year -- immmm maybe by 3 years
: a year -- I doubt
: there are no instruments in place for
: driving under the influence
: supposedly there is company in
: British Columbia getting close to having
: a machine similar to a breathalizer
: which will have to be tested first
: otherwise people like me --- who don't smoke dope
: could and just might get charged
: because cops need to get a quota -- tickets

: I think they need to decriminalize it first
: for people who have personal use - four joints on them
: before they legalize it
: If the Liberals elected in Canada think they are
: going to make mega bucks off legalization to pay
: for their massive deficit spending

: see cigarettes
: and the taxes on it
: well under 25% of canadians smoke
: but the governments of many provinces
: when they need money hike the cig prices
: so more quit and less income
: instead of just banning smoking
: the government is quite content to sell
: what they deem horrible and disgusting
: and make money off it
: same applies to pot
: the word pimping comes to mind
: it is ok for the government to pimp?
: many huddlers to cross here in Canada

: who knows
