it's no secrete that social media is watched most of the time and yet people do stupid crap like this....
Godfather.
(CNN) -- Note to self: When soliciting for drugs on Twitter, try a direct message.
Facing another boring day at work, a Toronto car repair shop worker decided some weed would be just the thing to make the day fly by.
Instead of reaching out by phone or walking to his friendly neighborhood drug dealer, the user, using the handle @Sunith_DB8R, tweeted that he needed a joint delivered to his workplace in Vaughan, just north of Toronto.
The York Regional Police, @YRP, caught a whiff of the request and enthusiastically -- perhaps too enthusiastically -- responded with, "Awesome! Can we come too?"
Awesome! Can we come too? MT @Sunith_DB8R Any dealers in Vaughan wanna make a 20sac chop? Come to Keele/Langstaff Mr. Lube, need a spliff.

Isn't there a show or something about goofy criminal videos too? This would go well with that.

anymore when law enforcement bust someone on a small (or large) personal amount of marijuana, they themselves, the police officers, look totally naive, nazi like & completely controlled by their small minds & very weak souls which are powered up by the great man of men, the bizarre government
you know how many folks are now going to taunt law enforcement online by placing bullshit totally fake heroin & crack requests? many are going to make a game out of this. they will sit back & watch it all unfold. this is how i see it

Come on. You`re being a little rough on us Canadians and our police forces.
Our cops generally sit around twiddling their thumbs. They are dying to do some police work. There are two factors that keep our bad guys from being bad and consequently, our police forces bored:
1. No guns.
2. Liquor is really expensive (12 beer is $19... a cheap bottle of wine is $14).
Now that I type this though... sorry, Hugh... Winnipeg seems to have something figured out though? I guess if guys wish to post on twitter that they need a joint to smoke... they should do so in Winnipeg. Cops there are busy like normal cops.
As far as I know, they did not "nail" him, they just made a sarcastic tweet. So the cost was whatever it cost for 30 seconds of a desk jockey's time to type it.
still illegal here godfather ... we are not really that close to legalizing it ... the leader of our official opposition Justin Trudeau has stated if elected Prime Minister he'd legalize it ... but that would not be till after the 2015 election and election promises are sometime broken

From the updated article:
"Just got the call of termination," tweeted the worker later that afternoon. Make that, the ex-worker.
Canadian broadcaster CTV reached out to the manager of the repair shop, who said "there was an employee here by that name; he no longer works for us."
The York Regional Police explained in a later tweet, "If you shouted on a busy street corner about illegal activity & we drove by, we'd intervene. Think of Twitter as a virtual street corner."
if Canada legalizes it in 2015 it would make sense for the us to do the same otherwise there will be another point of entry for smugglers......or a load of new Canadians in 2015
Godfather.
Legalizing it in 2015 would only happen if the Liberal leader wins the election and doesn't break his promise ... as of now the Conservative are in power and have no intention of legalizing it ... now the Liberals in the past when they held power said they would decriminalize it and they never followed through ... so sometimes election promises do get broken
