Saves money, and saves LIVES.
$100 says DoFo doubles down rather than admitting he was in the wrong.
Do I look like that much of a sucker?
Don’t answer that.
This, after on-line ordering becomes the only reasonable way to legally get marijuana for a number of months:
Not to mention people with medical licences to smoke weed may have already been put on a list.
She’s probably dead right about being burned by another professional psychic.
Isn’t that the kind of thing she should know?
Any professional psychic will tell you that’s not how it works.
How it does work is closer to counselling.
It’s a funny community – there’s always someone else, three or four degrees of separation from the current party, who’s claiming stuff they must have got from a movie, 'cos even if you’re into New Age stuff it’s ridiculously extreme.
I very much get the feeling MADD Canada tried to take a step towards Prohibition II and got caught.
Thing that bugs me about MADD: they always say they’re against drunk driving and have nothing against people who drink responsibly, yet they almost always focus on the drinking, not the driving. They’ve never done anything about distracted driving, or encouraging an expansion of public transit, for instance, at least not that I know of.
I’d love to know what the hell the politicians who passed the legislation were thinking, though.
I don’t drink. I knew someone who was killed by a drunk driver.
These new provisions are beyond the pale.
This is guilty-until-proven-innocent shit. Not only that, but this is the kind of shit that pisses off people like you and me who care about justice, and right-leaning people who think it’s infringement on their right to drive through loopholes. Which opens the door for Scheer et. al.
Fuck this law and anyone who thinks it’s a good idea. There are better ways to stop drunk drivers.
I seldom drink and have a spine permanently damaged by a drunk driver – who hit two other cars and fled the scene.
But this law could easily be used against me. Hell, a cop could go into any given pub in my neighbourhood and get their monthly quota of arrests in less than an hour. People drive home, then walk over to the local for dinner and beer with friends.
And then they walk home, but now they risk being arrested, and it makes no sense to me why.
And to be clear, I am not traditionally a Liberal voter. What I am is pragmatically ABC. In a good year, I will vote what I want. In a bad one… whoever stands a chance at beating the motherfuckers is who I will vote for. And I have a feeling that this could be a bad year.
And to be fair, I was raised that anyone to the left of Mulroney was out to steal everything I ever worked for and tank the economy. Now I am just trying to convince my Trump-hating parents that Scheer is just another version of him. And I am afraid that even that won’t sink in.
Look who’s taking advantage of a Canadian mostly-government-supported private hospital:
That should make for some interesting discussions with Canadian patients. I know a couple of people who have been to the Shouldice Hospital (it is indeed world-renowned). They met a lot of Americans there, but probably none as hypocritical as Paul.
Should the royalties go to our Prime Minister or into general revenue?
Put it towards our socialised healthcare system and make sure the Kentucky politicians know.
Pretty sure he knows.
Not so sure about that. Tweeps have been making hay about how it’s a “private clinic”, and Canadian tweeps to the best of their patience have been explaining most Canadian clinics are private – just they accept provincial insurance.
It says something about the healthcare debate in the US that a number of people have a hard time understanding the concept. Plus there’s always at least one libertarian who pipes up and says, “I don’t agree with socialised medicine!”. And then someone has to explain that you can opt out on, say, religious grounds if you really want to insist on paying your own way.
Sigh.
Another case where I look forward to my tax dollars being put towards keeping them in jail. May he live a good long life with no hope of parole.
