    Cannabis first domesticated 12,000 years ago: study

    Do you think these prehistoric peoples were cultivating marijuana with the idea of relieving pressure from glaucoma (?) or perhaps because it made them feel funny in a good way?? I’m assuming they were eating it before they were smoking it also. Personally I’m assuming that the medicinal side...

    Best Concert You Ever Attended?

    Among the groups that tore up the Vancouver scene during the late '80s was The Guy Jones Band. He assembled the group around guitarists Joe Wowk and Alfie Galpin, drummer Doug Grant (ex Ray Roper Band), and Marco Tambasco on bass. They toured the Vancouver 'b' circuit in 1986, developing a...

    Best Concert You Ever Attended?

    I’m going to come at this question in the thread title from a different direction. As a young man I worked at a stadium so I’ve seen about 70 different music concerts on top of every circus and agricultural show for years….back when the Agridome was still the Agridome. I’ve seen everything...

    Cannabis first domesticated 12,000 years ago: study

    12,000 years…. That’s a crazy timeframe!! Upper North America was covered under about a mile of ice, & the oceans where about 400 feet lower then than today, and though you couldn’t walk from India to Australia at that point….there wasn’t a whole lot of water between them. Wooly Rinos & Sabre...

    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government last week arbitrarily rejected a plan by Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe to reduce the impact of carbon pricing on his residents by reducing provincial fuel taxes. http://torontosun.com/opinion/editorials/editorial-pms-climate-policies-unfair The...

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    Meh.....whatever...."We've investigated ourselves & have found ourselves 150% innocent." What signage? What music? Star wars? May the What Be With Who (?) or is that Whom?

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    "Are you serious?," he said, as three officers handcuffed his employee, now lying face down on the ground. Whalen told CBC News the police appeared to continue with the takedown even after his employee had thrown the plastic gun to the ground. She was handcuffed while face-down on the...

    Catherine McKenna retiring from politics, creates possible opening for Mark Carney

    I'm past 49 yrs old...but when I was, I wasn't seriously contemplating retirement so I could focus on Family & Climate Change. If only I'd been in Justin Trudeau's wedding party so that could'a been an option but....such is life.

    Cowessess First Nation says 751 unmarked graves found near former Sask. residential school

    This might carry some (any?) weight once Trudeau actually apologizes for the things he's actually done instead of just apologizing for things that others have done 'cuz "People experience things differently" sure as shit wasn't an apology. This demand by Sparkle-Socks is just a big exclamation...

    Jody Wilson-Raybould

    Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett is a complete douche and needs a flush like so many of her gang cohorts, but in this case I don’t think she was being a member of the “He-Man Woman Hates Club” or outright racist, but just venomous towards anyone who didn’t tow the Trudeau Party line. At least bills...

    Cowessess First Nation says 751 unmarked graves found near former Sask. residential school

    So, has anybody heard who this preacher from the 60s was with the bulldozer (?) or what this dispute was between this guy and the current chief of the time? I’ve read that they want to press charges and the RCMP are involved actively in this… but I’m guessing that bulldozer preacher would’ve...

    Cowessess First Nation says 751 unmarked graves found near former Sask. residential school

    I worked all day so I'm late & try'n to play catch up. Skimmed a few news stories & that's about it. Not trying to belittle anything but the more I read the more questions I have. This is all so politicized on top of things also. Anyway, this is where I'm at. I read a bit about this yesterday...

    Canada is getting a new holiday to honour residential school survivors

    I haven’t seen any mention of also cancelling Canada Day here to go along with this new holiday yet. That call is coming….& at a minimum changing Canada Day to an Aboriginal Day of Mourning if not outright canceling it….
