    Hard drugs to be decriminalized in British Columbia

    BC had a plan and wanted to try it. A judge changed the rules and made it unworkable. BC wants to go back to the plan that they had originally had set up. That’s basically the issue in a few sentences.

    Hard drugs to be decriminalized in British Columbia

    Anywho…It is too early to draw conclusions about drug decriminalization, the federal addictions and mental health minister suggested Monday, after British Columbia asked Ottawa to scale back its pilot to help curb concerns over public drug use. In her first public remarks since B.C., made its...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    I’m betting on at least 2 for 1….meaning the 20 surviving hostages that fit the parameters (women, children, elderly, wounded) that Hamas can find for 40 days ceasefire in the initial stage. Then Hamas will start swapping others & corpses to extend it into a “permanent” ceasefire until Hamas...

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    The below four minute long video is from three years ago. It’s worth a watch now in light of where Canada as a nation & politics in it stand today.

    Notorious child killer Paul Bernardo transferred to Quebec institution

    Then there’s the CBC version of the same story:

    Trudeau announces Amira Elghawaby as Canada's first representative to combat Islamophobia

    “We stand with the Palestinian resistance and their heroic and brave action on October 7. Long live October 7.” It doesn’t get much clearer than that. It was yet another harangue from Charlotte Kates, international co-ordinator for the Samidoun Prisoners Solidarity Network, one of the main...

    Well, today is the Liberal/NDP Non-Coalition Coalition Budget Day!

    Huh….could almost smell something cooking earlier in the day here… …& here we are. This is the day Poilievre was sent out of Parliament by Speaker Fergus for doing what the PM had himself done a few minutes earlier. Interesting… Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s expulsion from question...

    Hard drugs to be decriminalized in British Columbia

    Until the Trudeau rhetoric surrounding the trucker convoy protest parking thing in Ottawa…I had never heard of it either. Guess who came out and denounced diagalon? Poilievre. But that’s not overly newsworthy. Members of this diagalon thing where discussing Poilievre’s wife, & that went over...

    Hard drugs to be decriminalized in British Columbia

    Things are about to get a lot more interesting I’m assuming. “Mr Poilievre, I have to name you for disregarding the authority of the chair. Pursuant to the authority granted to me… I order you to withdraw from the House and from any participation by videoconference for the remainder of this...

    Hard drugs to be decriminalized in British Columbia

    Poilievre's day-long removal from the House of Commons came after he called Trudeau a "wacko" for supporting B.C.'s policy of decriminalizing some hard drugs in an attempt to reduce the number of overdose-related deaths. http://apple.news/A3Iv6gRINT7uXvoimuhAuwg Poilievre said it was a "wacko...

    Two years into the Trudeau 2.0 Minority Term, which day will Justin call the election that only he wants?

    Is it too soon to start taking bets on how many seats the Conservatives will get October 27th, 2025? ‘Cuz if not I’m going with 242 of 343. Just over 70%.

    Well, today is the Liberal/NDP Non-Coalition Coalition Budget Day!

    Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland intends to ask Parliament to approve proposed changes to capital gains tax rates in a stand-alone bill? Interesting… The most controversial measure from her recent federal budget is not included in the motion she tabled Tuesday to introduce the federal budget...

    But temporarily uniting against non-Muslims when convenient?

    Rapporteur David Johnson, Eminent Canadian

    Well, thankfully for him, his own personal finances where in that blind trust that he couldn’t influence or manipulate…& thus increased by 8000% or something like that while he was Prime Minister. Anyway, this is just an aside, & the question was: ???

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Let’s go with option #2…if Israel ceased to exist, would there be peace in the Middle East? Would everyone just decide to get along?

    Hamas attacks Israel

    The remaining 6 what? Surviving Israeli hostages? Hamas & Friends battalions under Rafah? You’ve gotta be more specific…

    Rapporteur David Johnson, Eminent Canadian

    …but whatever happened with his personal fortune…shame it couldn’t have happened to the Canadian pension plan…but here we are. 😉 Whatever happened…it doesn’t seem to currently be newsworthy, but it is interesting.
