Police request delay in legalization of pot

This one's a little bit strange. First it was reported that the police said the legalization of pot will not remove organized crime from the industry which is true and makes sense. Yet the Toronto Star is reporting that the police made several other statements to parliament opposing the bill that require comment. The police want the government to delay the legalization of pot.

I can understand the need to train officers in roadside sobriety checks regarding pot. The other concerns are in fact concerning as in they over reach. "The police also want Ottawa to reconsider allowing individuals to grow up to four of their own marijuana plants because it will be difficult and expensive to enforce and provide an additional way for young people to get access to pot. “Why do you need home grows when we’re going to have a good system to access marijuana legally?” asked Barnum." What on earth has that got to do with the police?

That pretty much defines the public's concern with the current policy. Locking people in jail for growing a couple of pot plants is a waste of time and money. It clogs up the court system. Gumby getting released from massive drug charges in Montreal over court delays is a prime example of why our court system needs to change. The police's role is to enforce the law not create the law. The public the police are paid to protect create the law.

The Toronto Star article states "While legalization of recreational pot will lighten their workload - there were 16,000 charges laid for simple possession in 2016" which again defines the problem. If the Trudeau government was elected on the campaign promise to legalize pot and that plan is in the works, why are the police still laying charges for simple possession of pot? That is a complete waste of time and money. The police enforce the law they don't create the law.

This brings us to the current insanity regarding pot dispensaries. Knowing that pot is in the process of being legalized, the Vancouver City hall has launched a campaign trying to shut down all the independent pot dispensaries. The next question we are forced to ask is why?

The only way to break organized crime's monopoly on the industry is to let individuals grow their own and let individual dispensaries continue. Since I can't stand pot myself, I much rather have pot sold in dispensaries than in the liquor stores or supermarkets. As long as it's sold in dispensaries, I don't have to see it or be a part of it.

I agree the minimum age should be 19 not 18 just like for alcohol. Adolescents shouldn't smoke pot as it affects their brains development. Pot is not nearly as bad as crack or meth but pot is not good for you just like cigarettes. THC and CBD are two different things.



The Vancouver Sun reported that "The High Hopes Foundation cannabis dispensary in Vancouver aims to use cannabis to help drug users reduce their dependency on powerful opioids such as heroin and fentanyl." This makes sense. Lethal injection sites do not.

As for organized crimes involving in the industry, if the Hells Angels want to sell pot who cares? Let them. Pot is not the problem, crack, crystal meth and fentanyl is. It's like the black market cigarette industry back east. Who cares? Tax evasion does not affect public peace. Hard drugs do. If pot can be used to help people get off hard drugs then more power to them.

North Korea launches another missile over Japan and makes more threats

The Guardian is reporting that North Korea has launched another missile over Japan, a day after it threatened to sink the country and turn the US into ashes and darkness." The president of South Korea oposes the presence of nuclar weapons in it's country which makes sense.

South Korea, Japan, Canada and Guam need an Iron Dome missle defense system. Like I said, Kim Jong-un is a terrorist supported by China. China is not neutral. They are the driving force behind this insanity. BC and Alberta need to take back their oil rights from Communist China.

Michael Smyth needs to get a life

Holy drama queens, Michael Smyth has completely lost it. It must be a slow news day when you have to consume all your spare time to create fake news. That clown is still going on about a ridiculous court case that he admitted himself has no merit claiming it's going to cost taxpayers money even though it won't go anywhere. Aside from being a lunatic, he is wrong. When you falsely sue someone for defamation and you lose, the costs are usually in the cause. That means the guy that made the bogus application has to pay both sets of legal costs.

Today's scam city takes us to the tumultuous world of Gordon Wilson. He's the guy that got a sweetheart job as an LGN lobbyist after his wife wrote a book spinning for Christy Clark. Michael Smyth didn't have much to say about that aspect of the dirty deal he's spinning.

John Horgan and Bruce Ralston said Gordon Wilson did little to earn his lavious salary "advocating" for LGN. That was a fair comment. Advocating for LGN is awfully ambiguous. Don't get me wrong. I support LGN. Natural gas is clean burning. Coal is not. It' just that you don't have to pay someone 12,500 tax dollars a month to say that.

BTW CBC is reporting that Gordon Wilson's step son Kasimir Tyabji-Sandana has a new trial date set for April regarding his drug trafficking charges. Mikey forgot to mention that too. Mikey also failed to mention that although Gordon Wilson's bogus defamation suit has no merit, the Vancouver Province recently had to pay out a defamation lawsuit that did have merit. Gordon Wilson's wife Judy and her ex husband were also named in that same defamation suit.

In February 2013, Tyabji and Wilson signed a consent order agreeing to a judgment of $35,853.33 to Hakemi Law Corporation. That was just for legal bills they owed their counsel.

As I previously said, Bruce Ralston is from Surrey. He is a longstanding MLA that is well liked because he genuinely cares about his community. Michael Smyth's attack ads against Bruce Ralston sound awfully Shakespearean as in the lady doth protest too much methinks.

In fact, Mikey's swan song is heading for a Macbeth soliloquy. His meaningless attack ads sound like a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage then is heard no more. A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing. Sad indeed. As in pathetic.

NDP scrap $2.5 billion bridge

Venezuela sends Cuba humanitarian aid

Internationally, the world is in turmoil. A massive earthquake rocked Mexico and more hurricanes keep forming pounding the US and the Caribbean. The Independent is reporting that Mexico had to rescind its offer to send Texas humanitarian aid after the hurricane as it needed to channel all its resources into providing earthquake relief to it's own citizens. That makes perfect sense. What doesn't make any sense is why Mexico would be sending America humanitarian aid? That's kind of like Canada and the US sending China humanitarian aid when China owns our debt.

Loop is reporting that "Venezuela continues to aid some of the islands ravaged by Hurricane Irma, this time sending much-needed supplies to Cuba." I'm a bit confused. I respect the gesture. Cuba was nailed by hurricane Irma and needs aid. I was under the impression that Venezuela is in turmoil and didn't have any food in its supermarkets. That's why there is a mass exodus there and half of Venezuela is now living in Colombia. The world is in turmoil alright.

2 Durham police officers charged with drug traficking

I've been hearing a lot of talk about Durham police being corrupt but I haven't had time to follow up on it. However, the Toronto Star is reporting that "Two Durham Regional Police officers and three civilians have been arrested after a year-long investigation into an Ajax bar. The investigation, aided by officers from the Toronto Police Service, found that cocaine and marijuana were being sold at the bar. Const. Husen Aswat is facing seven counts of breach of trust, four counts of trafficking in cocaine, three counts of weapons dangerous and possession of the proceeds of crime, and one count each of theft under $5,000 and possession of property obtained by crime. Const. Amandeep Thakur has been charged with two counts of breach of trust, theft under $5,000, and possession of property obtained by crime."

The Toronto Star is also reporting that "Durham Region homicide detectives are invesitgating after a woman’s torso was found floating near Oshawa Harbour on Monday night. Const. George Tudos said the torso was found in Lake Ontario by a fisherman at around 8:30 p.m. Police said in a release on Tuesday that officers found “signs of trauma” on the torso at the scene. Tudos said officers will be checking missing persons reports in the area to try and identify the woman."

Donald Trump creates a humanitarian crisis: Despacito

OK so Hillary Clinton is a arms dealer and a drug trafficker but Donald Trump is a dick. Trump is creating a humanitarian crisis for no reason with absolutely no regard for thousands of working families he is turning homeless. We've already talked about the mass exodus of refugees getting kicked out of the US coming to Canada because they have no place else to go.

We aren't seeing the same mass influx of refugees on the west coast like they are on the east Coast. In Montreal the Olympic stadium is full of refugees. Most of those are Haitians that came to the United States after the earthquake. Now Trump is telling them they have to leave.

We had a family of four stay with us from Colombia and Honduras who had been living and working in Dallas for two years. They both had jobs, they owned a home and rented a bouncy castle for their children's birthday. Donald Trump revoked their green cards so they were forced to leave and came to Canada with absolutely nothing.

In addition to removing DACA, Trump is preparing to remove temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of other immigrants who have been permitted to build lives in the United States, in some cases for decades. This lunatic is creating a humanitarian crisis for no reason whatsoever. It doesn't even make business sense. More than 86,000 Hondurans and more than 5,300 Nicaraguans are protected under the program. El Salvador's temporary protected status is up for expiration in March. Salvadorans make up more than 263,000 of the immigrants who are temporarily protected, and they have been living in the United States since 2001.

Despacito featuring Daddy Yankee is the first song to be sung primarily in Spanish to reach the top 10 in over 20 years. Diversity makes us strong. Like I said, Nicky Jam que Bacano.

Burma Genocide

Burma is in the news and although I really don't know enough about what's going on to comment, something needs to be said. Burma is now called Myanmar. The Guardian is reporting that "Myanmar’s treatment of its Muslim Rohingya minority appears to be a textbook example of ethnic cleansing, the top United Nations human rights official has said."

Descriptions of the atrocities seem beyond belief. This is something we need to look into. The Guardian reported on a massacre at Tula Toli and claims that the Myanmar government won't let the media in to confirm the claims. One fact that is not disputable is that refugees are fleeing the violence and are pouring into Bangladesh. Time Magazine wrote about the genocide in 2012. Apparently this violence has been going on for generations and has recently spiked.

This is bizarre. The Holocaust was obscene as was the Rwanda tragedy. This is unacceptable. This does not happen in a civilized society. One does not turn a blind eye to these kind of atrocities. We need to spotlight Burma and find out what is really going on. Burma is the place we need to send Canadian Peacekeepers to protect the innocent and keep the peace.



Lester Pearson established Canadian Peacekeeping. It is time to resurrect that long standing Canadian tradition. Burma needs Canadian Peacekeepers. We can't wait for the Americans because they won't do it. Under Donald Trump's leadership they are both heartless and brainless. This is something we are going to have to spearhead ourselves. James Blunt No Bravery.

Limo crashes into Surrey Home - Jagmeet Singh addresses Islamophobia

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that a limo crashed into a Surrey home 3:00 AM this morning. Perhaps alcohol was a factor in that accident.



Meanwhile back in Brampton, Ontario NDP candidate Jagmeet Singh was heckled by a woman claiming he was Muslim. Instead of explaining to her he was Sikh not Muslim he simply said we support love and courage. After the event he explained why he did not simply say he was not Muslim. "My response to Islamophobia has never been I'm not Muslim. It has always been and will be that hate is wrong." Well said. That lady is a mental case.

Let's make education great again.

NDP scrap $2.5 billion bridge

Not surprisingly, as soon as the tolls were scrapped on the Port Mann bridge traffic spiked. Traffic patterns have changed. Now the NDP have scrapped the $2.5 billion bridge scam to replace the George Massey tunnel. So in reality, scrapping the bridge tolls just saved taxpayers $2.5 billion.

Since Treo screwed me over on toll bills I have been taking the other route to Vancouver. I take the Alex Fraser bridge into Vancouver and the George Massey tunnel coming back. During rush hour traffic in the tunnel is surprisingly light. Now with more people using the Port Mann it will be even better. That whole mega bridge was another scam. What we need is fiscal responsibility. Christy Clark and Diane Watts, the queens of insider trading, are not it.

Another simple way to save another $2.6 billion tax dollars would be to scrap this insane idea of putting an on ground railway through the middle of Surrey. That is the stupidest idea in recorded history. We dont need it and we don't want it. Spending money on that would perpetuate the insider trading fraud. An on ground railway from Guildford Mall to Surrey Place is stupid. It is a short commute by bus with no wait times. An onground railway would disrupt all traffic crossing the line and throw traffic lights out of synch which would make traffic congestion unbearable. There's no room for it either. That's why they want to cram a road through parks, playgrounds and schools. Stop the fraud. Loose the airheads.

John Horgan and Linda Hepner pose with Surrey gunman

Global is reporting that John Horgan and Linda Hepner were photographed posing with a convicted shooter, former Radio India boss Maninder Gill from a fundraising dinner Wednesday. Gill was sentenced to four years behind bars for a 2010 shooting outside a Surrey temple that left one man injured. In a statement, the BC NDP said the Premier did not know Maninder Gill, nor was he privy to the guest list of the event.

Hepner said Dhesi invited her and the only reason why she went to the dinner was to establish a relationship with the province’s new premier. “I do know Maninder Gill, it was not my intention to be in a photo with him, group or otherwise.”

A word of advice to John Horgan. If you want to protect your political future, stay as far away from Linda Hepner as possible. That woman is dumb as f*ck and is dirty as f*ck. However, since he did attend a function with her we are going to have to ask him, aren't schools in BC protected? Linda Airhead Hepner wants to build a road that is totally unnecessary right through an elementary school playing field. Let's save the school and lose the airhead.
