I'm not sure what you want to happen here?

What do you want Canada to do? I rest comfortably with the criticism of Saudi Arabia.

So, you'd like to start a war because Saudi kicked out our ambassador and may cancel some trade deals? Why? Other than the obvious, which is that you can not agree with anything the current government does.

That's a good job you are doing Mr. Fluff ... slap tariffs on goods coming in from the US that cost consumer $$$, gets bitched by one of the most oppressive countries in the world, barely a sneeze from Fluff ...

Wonder why we are over-taxed in this country ... politicians and government need to investing in  private enterprise.

I'll take it. hopefully they have events to mark the holiday too, not just a "let's go out shopping" day.

Hugh, I'd like to hope people would use the day to maybe educate their children and reflect a little about how good most of us have it, especially compared to the true owners of this country...but I believe most will shop on this day...unfortunately.

Sweet. Honestly, my first thought was about getting another day off work.
But it is a good idea to have a stat that's related to First Nations. Hopefully it will spurn events that bring awareness and stuff. I'm sure it likely will.

I hope it does.  It's a great thing recognizing our past mis-deeds as a country.

To fix our First Nations issues, why do we not move away from the reserve system thats in place.  Grant First Nations and Metis people's the same rights that they get on the reserves, no matter where they choose to live...at least give them the option.

It's extremely problematic to have different laws for different people in a country - it amounts to having 2 different classes of people under the law. There is a very good reason for those rights to be restricted to the reservations, and I completely agree with that reason.

Has pot been legalized yet? I can't wait to grow some plants in the garden rite next to my conservative cop neighbor.

You are the same fuck that would bitch if a cop didn’t show up quick enough if your neighbor’s dog shit in your yard.  Quit acting all tough guy.  Cops have a tough job and you probably have never spent time with your neighbor to know how he feels on the subject of pot.  But continue on acting like you are the baddest ass around.

I don't favour blanket cop haters at all, but come on.... It's not like everyone is obligated to like every cop on the face of the planet. TalonTedd very well may have legit reasons to feel animosity towards his neighbor who is also a cop. The guy might be a prick who tries to pull cop rank on his neighbors or something, who knows. He also isn't a fan of conservatives. Notice that he qualified his description of him... If he wasn't a cop, maybe he would have made the same comment without the word cop included. Perhaps that the conservative neighbor he clearly doesn't like is also a cop just adds some irony... or stick-it-to-him-ness. If the cop neighbor were a good guy in his mind, cop or not, TalonTedd would likely never have had the thought enter his mind.

The asshole did not provide a breath sample ... only one reason why?  Not providing a breath sample should add 10 years to this losers sentence.

Most cops have no interest in bothering cannabis users or even people who grow small amounts for personal use ... just to much paper work only to see the crown or judge to toss it...
