Cops on Pot: Is pot bad for you?

We've talked about cops selling legal pot and we've seen what happens when cops consume illegal pot. Now with legalization under way we need to talk about cops on legal pot. Global is reporting that "The president of the union representing Toronto police officers says a draft policy put forward by management banning members from consuming marijuana within 28 days of reporting for duty is "fraught with all kinds of issues and legal challenges."

I agree 28 days appears to be an arbitrary number and I agree it presents legal challenges but the fundamental question is, are employers allowed to discriminate against hiring employees that smoke pot? My response is why not? When pot becomes legal is it an employer's right to say they rather not hire someone who smokes pot? I say it is. Supply and demand might make it hard to find employees in BC who don't smoke pot but it is well within their right to set that standard.

Especially in policing. It is well withing an employer's right to say we don't want to hire anyone who smokes pot because discrimination against drug use is not prohibited grounds. The Guardian is reporting that "Vancouver, Ottawa, Regina and Montreal will let officers use it recreationally as Calgary introduced a zero-consumption policy."

It is tragic that the officer who had a prescription for medical marijuana committed suicide after getting slack for smoking pot while in uniform. Logic would dictate smoking pot while in uniform is in bad taste. Just like consuming alcohol while in uniform or on duty.

Is pot bad for you?

I do believe that pot is one of the least harmful drugs out there. It is way better than crack or crystal meth. Way better. People who are addicted to crack would benefit from using pot to get off the crack. More so than methadone. I also believe that for alcoholics, smoking pot is better than drinking alcohol. Nevertheless, pot is not good for you.

Recently I saw a headline in the news asking is pot good for you and I thought to myself AYFKM? Have we Deevolved that much in our intellectual capacities that we have to even ask that question?

Anything that gets you stoned, baked or wasted is not good for you. Smoking anything is bad for you. That is why the leading cause of death in house fires is smoke inhalation. That is why all those health warnings exist on cigarette packages. Second hand pot smoke is just as bad if not worse than second hand cigarette smoke. Vaping is much better than smoking.

CBD is different than THC

There are two different main ingredients in pot. One is TCH the other is CBD. CBD is good for you THC isn't. THC gets you stoned CBD doesn't. In Washington State they have the percent content of these two ingredients posted on legal pot packages they sell.

Pot that is high in THC and low in CBD is recreational. Pot that is high in CBD but low in THC has some medicinal qualities. CBD helps reduce seizures in epilepsy. Yet once again smoking anything is bad for you. It causes lung cancer. CBD oil is the best of all of the options.

BC Bud has more THC than other strains of pot

Pot has much more THC now then it did when we were young. It's gone up from 3% to 15%. The smell is different. Pot used to have a pleasant aroma to it. Now it is harsh and smells like skunk cabbage. It literally smells like sh*t. "Oh but it's good sh*t." That depends on your perspective.

The reason why those cops went ape sh*t on the pot they ingested was because it was more powerful than the old stuff and ingesting pot makes it difficult to control the amount of THC you consume. You never used to get some of the bad LSD type side effects from smoking pot back in the day. You do now. Which makes the current propaganda pot's good for you so absurd.

So when pot becomes legal in a few days am I going to run out there and get wasted? Nope. I'm going to stay as far away from those lunatics as I can. I am internally defined. I don't need the government or a mob of stoners to tell me what's right and wrong. I make that decision for myself independent of the millennial circus clowns. Nothing has changed. Stoners are still stoners. We just have a lot more of them now.

I salute the Calgary Police force for setting a zero tolerance for pot use among it's employees. That is a noble standard. When the compromised EPS and BC Gang Task force start indulging in legal pot I only see their current level of corruption get worse through apathy and self indulgence.

Hemp Paper is good not THC

The only good that is coming from this tsunami of insanity is the fact that mandatory minimum jail sentences for possession of pot will be removed. That was a waste of tax dollars. Now we can focus on getting crack and crystal meth off the streets. The other good is the fact that now we can start investing in the hemp paper industry as that truly will save the planet. Hemp paper is a renewable market. That is sustainable. Hemp toilet paper makes sense.

Ex-3 Doors Down bassist gets 10 years on gun charge

This is an example of extremism. The Canadian Press is reporting that "The founding member and former bassist of the rock band 3 Doors Down has been sentenced to 10 years in Mississippi state prison for possession of a firearm by a felon. News outlets report Jackson County Circuit Court Judge Robert Krebs gave Todd Harrell the maximum penalty during a hearing Thursday."

"Authorities responded to Harrell's home after an alarm went off in June. Harrell's wife told deputies they had got into an argument that turned physical. While deputies were talking to the couple, they noticed guns and drugs in the home. Harrell had served two years in prison for causing a fatal crash in Nashville in 2013. He testified in 2015 that he had been addicted to prescription drugs and was speeding.'

Here's the deal. In the United States it is a Constitutional right to bear arms. Except for felons. Felons aren't allowed to vote or posses guns. One can conceivably rationalize a firearm ban if someone had used a firearm to commit a criminal offense but not for a DUI. A guy gets a DUI and he's banned from voting or owning a gun for the rest of his life? That's a bit extreme as is giving him a ten year sentence for exercising his constitutional right to own a gun. That's more than someone gets in Canada for manslaughter less mandatory statutory release.

Here in Canada criminals who have used a firearm to commit a criminal offense can get a lifetime firearm ban but that means absolutely nothing because it is never enforced. Blaze had a lifetime firearm ban before he committed two subsequent criminals acts with firearms and virtually nothing is done about it. Especially after he started lying for, I mean cooperating with, the police.

If we want to reduce gun violence we need to enforce firearm bans on criminals who have used firearms to commit criminal offenses. Not on law biding citizens. Stephen Harper was wrong. Mandatory minimum sentences for the simple possession of a firearm is not right. Mandatory minimum sentences for using a firearm to commit a criminal offense is. There's a huge difference.

Trump defends $110B US arms sale to Saudi Arabia

The Hill is reporting that "President Trump on Saturday, shortly after vowing to hand out a "severe punishment" to Saudi Arabia if it is found to have killed a missing dissident journalist, said he wants to preserve a $110 billion arms deal with the Saudi kingdom. Trump said if the United States pulled out of the deal, Russia and China would rush in to sell their own armaments, potentially costing domestic jobs." Money without morals represents the downfall of America.

Green Justice and Roslyn Cassells' hacker is being watched - a shout out to Anonymous

Well this is entertaining. I had previously mentioned how the Green Justice web site was hacked before the election as well as Roslyn Cassells' web site. Roslyn is a local environmentalist so she must be on the terrorist watch list by now. I made her website for her because I support her.

Both websites were on a free server in Europe and were completely hacked. All the file directories were gone. When someone went on the web site all they saw was a notice saying the website was down and a recovery was in process which I did not put up nor did I have any control over. At first I thought the sever put it up. Only the recovery never happened.



So I move both sites over to a paid server. Within minutes of doing so both were hacked and the exact same message was showing. That's when I realized something was up. Only this time all the files were still present on the new paid server. Just the home page was changed. It was the exact same message that was on the other server. That's when I realized the hacker put it there not the server. I was shorty thereafter booted out and the email for the password reset had been changed. That wasn't my email. So I contacted the server and they fixed it.



The fact that the second hack happened so fast is evidence that I am being watched. That is why I object to the cops stingray antenna outside my house and all over Surrey. Aside from it being illegal warrantless surveillance, any hacker can use it giving them free access to all our microphones and wireless communications. Only my Internet isn't wireless.

Today I was updating Roslyn's website. As I was doing so I was booted out and the password reset email was changed. Once again, that wasn't my email. I contacted the server and they fixed it right away. So here's the deal: Look at the email hint for both password rests.



I know members of Anonymous used to read my blog. If anyone recognizes any of those two email hints please send me the entire email and what you know about this hacker. It is probably the same hacker they used to crash Laila Yuile's blog and Twitter. It's a corporate hack that opposes the grass roots movement. A mercenary Surrey First or SNC-Lavalin has hired. Let's connect the dots and prove the connection. Cheers.

Sons of Vancouver Hells Angel assault cop, co accused gets hit by truck running from police

The Vice is reporting that "A man who allegedly assaulted a police officer after a routine traffic stop was hit by a truck as he attempted to sprint away." Ya gotta love natural justice.

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that three punk ass b*tches were driving along Granville street which is closed to traffic. The police pull them over on Robson and the little sh*t stains pull the cop into the car and start punching him in the head. Then one of them runs away and gets smoked by a pickup. The video is awesome. Two of the three are Bryce's nephews. LOSERS.

They are sons of his half brother Lloyd Robinson who is a former HA and was one of the founding members of the East Vancouver Hells Angels. One of Ricky C's friends from Satan's Angels. Those dirt bags always were f*ck ups. This is why we need a Mollen Commission in BC. The BC Gang task force is compromised and let these little West Vancouver sh*t stains run around without any consequences whatsoever. Spare the rod yo.

So the compromised BC Gang Task force send out these press releases trashing the Hells Angels collectively but when is the last time they ever attempted to do a drug bust involving the Hells Angels? That was back in the Summer of 2012 at the Kelowna Summer Jam. After they did such a great job the Christy Clark government disbanded the OMGU. Ever since then the BC Gang Task Force has been compromised just like the EPS. That's why we need a Mollen Commission. The sh*t I could tell you they are doing is so bizarre you simply wouldn't believe it.

Fatal daytime shooting in Surrey

CTV is reporting that "A man has died following a brazen daylight shooting in a residential area of Surrey, RCMP say. Mounties were called to the 6700 block of 130th Street shortly before 2 p.m. Thursday for reports of a shooting. When they arrived, they found a victim suffering from gunshot wounds. 'Despite all attempts to revive the individual they succumbed to their injuries,' police said in a statement." It's OK. Tom Gill has it handled. Not.

Wake Up Surrey is reporting that the shooting victim was 30 year old Sumeet Randhawa.

Tom Gill passes when asked about crime in Surrey

Tom Gill passes when asked about crime in Surrey

Global is reporting that at the Sheraton's Mayors debate Tom Gill was asked: “What is your priority on crime and policing? Pass,” he answered. LOL I couldn't make this sh*t up. That guy is such a blundering idiot. After the debate he said it was because of his blood sugar. Let's be honest. It's because he is a complete idiot.

This is the guy that was sharing private text messages with the media from one of his former councilors trying to convince the world he kicked her out and that she didn't leave the party on her own accord. Real classy. This is why his own Surrey First former Councillors call him a child and left the party because they have no confidence in his leadership. Mike Smyth needs a new job.

Another fatal shooting within the south Asian community and Tom Gills answer is Pass. I think he needs to pass the gavel to someone else. Dianne Watts says there's only two choices for mayor, Tom Gill or Doug McCallum. I guess the answer is crystal clear then. Maybe Dianne Watts can get a job in Ottawa. I hear they'll believe anything out there.

Setting the record straight

The front page of this weeks Surrey Now Leader was a revolting paid ad by none other than the fallen Godzilla herself. It claimed that there are only two choices for mayor in Surrey, Tom Gill and Doug McCallum. It then quoted Dianne Watts from her lapdog's article in Harold Munro's cheap tabloid of corporate trash who said Doug McCallum would be a step backwards. Not.

I wasn't going to comment on it because for local residents it is self explanatory but for those who don't live in Surrey I will explain why people who live in Surrey hate Dianne Watts so much. It's really simple. We live here. We saw what she did. Dianne Watts was anything but fiscally responsible when she was mayor. She led the city in record spending and put us in record debt. Her mandate was spend money and raise taxes. She spent more money than the left did because she is a neo con. No she is not a new conservative. She is a new con artist.

Everything she says is a lie. Let's start with the most obvious lie. When Dianne Watts was mayor she lied to the press and told them she was t boned by someone who ran a red light on her way home from a drunken gala. The press printed that lie without questioning it simply because she was Godzilla. Contrary to her claim, she t boned the other vehicle her vehicle was not t boned. That part is indisputable. The disputable part was which party ran the red light. She claimed the other party did. The other party claimed she did. Local residents who knew the intersection knew Dianne Watts was lying again so she settled out of court. She is dishonest.

For Dianne Watts to claim Doug McCallum is a step backwards is actually hilarious. Those of us who live here know that Doug McCallum's record on crime and fiscal responsibility was flawless which was in complete contrast to that of Dianne Watts who was anything but. Her claim to fame when she was elected MP was the fact that she never showed up to work.

Dianne Watts claims Doug McCallum is a step backwards because she is facing the wrong direction. She is facing fiscal irresponsibility and crime promotion. Doug McCallum is facing the other direction towards fiscal responsibility and crime prevention. Something she talked a lot about but never confronted. BTW how much of a salary is DW pulling from that "Non Profit" society Surrey First? She just doesn't want to lose another meal ticket.

I mentioned the ad to a coworker and he said Who is Tom Gill? I've never heard of him. He's the one involved with the allegation of voter fraud. Tom Gill denied any involvement but we who live here know he is doing what Dianne Watts does best - lie. The Wake up Surrey movement within the South Asian community in Surrey blew the whistle on election fraud with mail in ballots. None of the other south Asian Candidates were involved. The allegations solely involved supporters of Tom Gill. Recently Barinder Rasode gave an interview about why south Asian voters don't support Tom Gill and it has nothing to do with his race. It is because of his corruption.

Barinder was a member of Surrey first then ran agaist Dianne Watts and Linda Hepner for mayor. That is why Dianne Watts and Alex Tsakumis called her a whore on facebook. They didn't have a problem with Barinder dating Bob Cheema when she was on their slate. They all of a sudden had a problem with it when she left their slate. They didn't want to lose that meal ticket.

In the recent interview Barinder claimed she was too white for the brown voters and too brown for the white voters. I beg to differ. I didn't endorse her because she voted for that dirty casino on rural land despite the public opposition to it just like Tom Gill and Barbara Steele did. That is why she lost the support of the South Asian community. She defied them. It had nothing to do with her race. That's the same reason they don't endorse Tom Gill. He defied them.

If you want to vote for a south Asian who isn't involved in the dirty politics vote for Rina Gill. She is competent and honest. She would make a great deputy mayor. Just to set the record straight.

SNC-Lavalin shares fall on news foreign bribery case will go to court - Stop the gravy train! No LRT in Surrey

CBC is reporting that "Shares in Canadian engineering giant SNC-Lavalin fell to their lowest level in more than two years after the company revealed the federal government has decided it won't let the company settle allegations of foreign bribery out of court."

"The company has had the legal cloud hanging over its head since 2015, stemming from allegations that some of its former employees paid bribes to officials in Libya to influence government decisions and win contracts prior to 2012. The RCMP alleges that between 2001 and 2012, the company paid almost $48 million in bribes and defrauded various other entities of almost $130 million." This is just one case of many SNC-Lavalin has been involved with.

This ties in directly with the Surrey LRT Fraud. The Director of South of Fraser Rapid Transit at TransLink is Stephan Mehr. Before that he worked over 22 years with SNC-Lavalin the dirtiest construction company on the planet that is still in court facing fraud and corruption charges.



In 2017 SNC Lavalin agreed to repay Quebec municipalities for contracts obtained through fraudulent tactics. SNC-Lavalin was charged with offering bribes worth $47.7 million to officials in Libya. They are also alleged to have defrauded various Libyan public agencies of approximately $129.8 million. SNC-Lavalin agreed to pay $1.5 million to settle a corruption case filed by the African Development Bank for ordering illicit payments to public officials to secure contracts.

Criminal charges against Arthur Porter, the man accused of committing what Quebec authorities described as the biggest corruption fraud in Canada’s history, were officially abandoned, two years after his death in a Panama prison. Porter was charged with fraud and breach of trust with regards to a hospital built by SNC-Lavalin in Montreal. The list goes on...



Global and the Financial Times has picked up on the story. This is the pattern that keeps repeating itself over and over again. SNC-Lavalin bribes politicians to get government contracts then defrauds taxpayers for much more than the bribe cost them and the work is worth. They make a huge profit from tax fraud. Here's the reason why they keep getting away with it:

Global is reporting that the wealth management spin doctors claim "Should SNC be found guilty, it could be debarred from bidding on Canadian federal work. However, we view this outcome as unlikely, noting (1) SNC has a strong case and (2) we think it is unlikely the government would allow a company employing thousands of people in Canada to fail because of the transgressions of a handful of people.” That is the ultimate lie. It doesn't have a good case. Otherwise they wouldn't keep paying millions of dollars in settlements over and over again.

They were already banned from world contracts for ten years following the company’s misconduct in relation to the Padma Multipurpose Bridge Project in Bangladesh, as well as misconduct under another Bank-financed project.. Giving them the contract to the evergreen line was a criminal act.

The spin doctors claim "we think it is unlikely the government would allow a company employing thousands of people in Canada to fail because of the transgressions of a handful of people." It's not the transgressions of a handful of people. It is their method of operation. Here's the deal. If SNC-Lavalin doesn't build it, someone else in the private sector will. No jobs will be lost. Someone else who isn't so bloody corrupt will put more money in the pockets of taxpayers and employees and less in the pockets of dirty politicians and dirty developers alike.
