According to burn outs, legalization was going to 100% fund healthcare and buy us all 8 series Beemers.
Ever read their garbage?It is controlled by the NDPee, which is next to being communist themselves.
I guess I've just come across information about what communism is supposed to be and it's nothing like the NDP, trust me.
That's why we don't have it or never will because it has nothing to do with any government authority, apparently.
Pretty sure we can agree it's socialism at least and leave it at that.
A socialist is just a communist in an Armani suit. Then too for the most part the BC NDPee are way farther out in left field than the federal party.
NDP sticking to their " the people don't want an election" story. Two years of the term already done. It's a wonderful life.

Note that it is the US Justice Department and the US Commodities Futures Trading Commission that initiated and brought charges. Nothing at all from Canada. The $127 million was like water off a duck's back and they had prepared earlier to pay the fine. Sounds like the cost of doing business imo.
That is why Toronto is the big financial center that it is.

RBC reports a $4 billion quarterly profit. TD not far behind at $3.7 b.
Works out to about $70 million in profit per day which is a very decent 8 hour shift.
Too much imo. Meanwhile Trudeau makes atonement for an 80 year old wrong doing. Imagine the money the future generations will have to pony up given his bizarre mismanagement.
Oh well, no point in letting it spoil the day.
