Bruce Linton fired as co CEO of Canadian pot company Canopy Growth after it acquired Acreage Holdings

CNBC is reporting that Bruce Linton, co-CEO of Canopy Growth, said he was fired from the Canadian pot company he founded in 2013 in an interview with CNBC on Wednesday. Canopy, the world’s largest publicly traded cannabis company by market value, earlier Wednesday announced in a press release that Linton was removed as co-chief executive officer and a member of the board, effective immediately. Mark Zekulin, who had been co-CEO with Linton, becomes the sole CEO while the company searches for a replacement."

The move comes after a 3.4 billion dollar acquisition of a US company who called for a reconfiguration of the board. Having said that this is all pretty much beyond me. I don't invest in legal pot because I personally don't support it. I see it as a dirty business that inhibits youth but recognize that it will continue to flourish and the cop pot entities that are striving to use their contracts to create a monopoly in the industry are in my opinion dirty.

Maybe they want to hire Mark Emery. Unlikely. They just want to use people and cast them aside when they are done with them. It's the nature of the business.

Gag order hides another RCMP sexual harassment settlement

The Chronicle Journal is reporting that "RCMP say a settlement has been reached in a lawsuit that alleged a former spokesman for the force in British Columbia sexually harassed a civilian employee. The lawsuit against former inspector Tim Shields had been scheduled to go to trial on Tuesday but court documents show the parties agreed to dismiss the action without costs in May. RCMP Sgt. Janelle Shoihet says the terms of the settlement are confidential."

Another gag order hides more RCMP sexual harassment. The civil claim alleged a top-down culture of harassment within the force. That is why there was a class action law suit against the RCMP which was also settled out of court. Tim Shields is a bad man.

Post Media News attacks the Toronto Star

The Toronto Star is reporting that "By all rights the federal Liberals ought to be cruising toward a comfortable victory in October. The economy is humming along, especially where most of the voters live - in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia. A million jobs have been created in the past four years and unemployment is at its lowest level (5.4 per cent) since the distant days of 1976." Very true. The article then says Justin Trudeau needs to "reassert his leadership, avoid any more gaffes, and show Canadians he has a clear vision of where he wants to take the country - and the qualities needed to get there." It's all fair comment.

Then the National Post puts out an article not confronting Justin Trudeau but confronting the Toronto Star. That is what's weird. The Toronto Star article is not. Remember the Toronto Star is independent, the National Post is not. The National Post is now owned by Post Media News. When the Main Stream Media attacks an independent media outlet for expressing a valid political opinion one needs to consider the source and question where the Main Stream media is trying to take us. Propaganda is not news. Buyer Beware.

Surrey's South Asian temple leaders push solicitor general to let city replace RCMP

CBC is reporting that "Surrey's South Asian temple leaders are calling on the province to move faster to allow a new municipal police service to replace the RCMP. They believe a new police service would help curb disproportionate violence affecting South Asian community members. The executives of Surrey's six largest Sikh Gurdwaras and the largest Hindu Mandir have sent a joint letter to B.C. Solicitor General Mike Farnworth urging him to approve the city plan to replace the Surrey RCMP." Post Media Propaganda didn't report that because they are biased.

"At the same time, another group is rallying in the opposite direction. Keep the RCMP in Surrey is a group co-ordinated by Ivan Scott, whose son is a Surrey RCMP officer." His son is a RCMP officer. Exactly. Doug McCallum was elected on a promise to get rid of the RCMP in Surrey and the RCMP are still fighting the democratic will of Surrey. It confirms why they need to be replaced. Surrey is the largest city in Canada without it's own police force. Get over it.

Anthony Joshua's shocking defeat to Andy Ruiz

I just heard that Anthony Joshua lost his fight against Andy Ruiz June 1st. I'm shocked. The Guardian is reporting that Andy Ruiz Jr sprang one of the biggest shocks in heavyweight championship history on Saturday night when he spoiled Anthony Joshua’s US debut with a seventh-round technical knockout at Madison Square Garden.

"The unheralded 29-year-old from southern California, a replacement opponent dialled in on five weeks’ notice who went off as a 11-1 underdog, came off the floor in the third round to drop Joshua twice before the end of the frame, then sent the undefeated champion crashing to the canvas for a third and fourth time in the seventh round before referee Mike Griffin put a stop to the proceedings at the 1:27 mark."

"This was no fluke. No lucky one-punch knockout that can be explained away by a silver-tongued promoter. Joshua was outboxed, out-toughed and beaten up on a night that turned boxing’s bellwether weight class on its ear."

"The fight is considered one of the biggest upsets in boxing history, drawing comparisons to Mike Tyson vs. Buster Douglas in 1990 and Lennox Lewis vs. Hasim Rahman in 2001. Ruiz also made history as the first ever Mexican world heavyweight champion." A rematch is in the cards.

Andy Ruiz came back hard and strong after getting knocked down in the third round. They call him the Mexican Rocky. Andy Ruiz trained with Freddie Roach for seven years.

Israel Is Blamed for Deadly Missile Strikes in Syria

The New York Times is reporting that "Israeli warplanes struck several military sites in Syria overnight and killed several fighters and civilians, Syrian state media reported on Monday, in what appeared to be a stepping up of Israel’s long-running, partly covert campaign to thwart Iranian military entrenchment in Syria and stop weapon transfers to Lebanon."

The Times of Israel is reporting that "A private Israeli intelligence firm on Monday identified one of the sites in Syria targeted in an alleged Israeli airstrike earlier in the day as a hangar likely storing advanced weaponry or other military equipment." Things that make ya go hmmm....

We all know that Israel was supporting ISIS in Syria to help overthrow Assad. So was the CIA. The CIA created ISIS. Although the claim that Syria was trying to send arms to Lebanon is possible it is highly unlikely. I hesitate commenting on this fraud as I completely support Israel's right to exist. I just emphasize that it is a right to coexist.

Meanwhile back on the ranch, Sky News is reporting that "A suspected Russian-made missile has landed in Northern Cyprus after exploding in the air above a series of villages, according to officials. It is thought the missile may be part of an air defence system fired from Syria in response to an air attack by Israel. Israeli airstrikes were taking place against targets in Syria around 120 miles (200km) away at the time of the blast."

Hong Kong protesters storm government building over China extradition bill

CNN is reporting that "Hundreds of protesters in Hong Kong swarmed into the legislature's main building Monday night, tearing down portraits of legislative leaders and spray-painting pro-democracy slogans on the walls of the main chamber. The sharp escalation in tactics came on the anniversary of the former British colony's return to China, a city holiday, and reflected mounting frustration with Hong Kong's leader for not responding to protesters' demands after several weeks of demonstrations."

The Guardian is posting live updates as China's Communism crushes another protest umbrella protest. We remember the Tiananmen square massacre. That really did happen. After the famous stand off Communist China used live ammunition on protesters and crushed the cry for democracy. Then they censored that true information from the internet within mainland China and pretended it never happened at all. Buyer Beware.

China is not an ally. Executing political prisoners for organ harvesting is not a good thing. Euronews has posted actual interviews of the Hong Kong protesters concerns. China is breaking the agreement it signed with England when Hong Kong was handed over to them in 1997.



Reports are coning in from Hong Kong claiming that the Chinese police are going in under cover as agent provocateurs starting violence to rationalize a violent crackdown.

Judicial Injustice: A Father's Story

Speaking of judicial injustice, I met a father today named Chris Marshall who had quite a story to tell. His story is about a father trying to get access to his child during a divorce and how he was completely screwed over by the Canadian judicial system. It reminds me of the John Carten story. I'm not a lawyer, I'm an advocate. Consequently I'm a hopeless romantic.

I always walk around with an ace up my sleeve and play it whenever my back is up against the wall in court. It's called Natural Justice. The intent of the law speaks to natural justice. That's why it's called the judicial system. It's *supposed* to uphold justice. Yet it rarely does. That's why I'm a dreamer. I play that card saying the court is supposed to uphold justice and this is not just.

Have a look at what Chris Marshall has to say. He has his own website called A Father's Story.

This is a PDF File of his story: Dead Beat Dad or dead Beat Justice System.

No Justice, No Peace. Know Justice, Know Peace.

Alabama police shot a teen dead, but his friend got 30 years for the murder

The Guardian is reporting that "Unlike in the vast majority of fatal shootings by police officers, someone is going to prison for the 2015 death of 16-year-old A’Donte Washington in Alabama. It just isn’t the police officer who shot him."

"Lakeith Smith was sentenced last week to 30 years for A’Donte’s murder, even though no one disputes it was an officer’s bullet that killed him. Smith is not even accused of having possessed a weapon. Under the state’s accomplice law, co-defendants can be guilty of murder if a death occurs when they are in the midst of committing a felony. Smith was one of five teens who were allegedly committing a burglary when responding officers opened fire, killing A’Donte. Smith, now 18, was also sentenced to another 35 years for crimes related to the the burglary, for a total of 65 years." OK now that it totally messed up. Give your head a shake.

The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world.

Donald Trump met Kim Jong Un in the Demilitarized Zone

The Guardian is reporting that "Donald Trump has invited Kim Jong-un to the US after he became the first sitting US president to enter North Korea. The apparently impromptu meeting came about after Trump tweeted an invitation to Kim on Saturday from the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan. After shaking hands with Kim in the demilitarised zone (DMZ) between the two Koreas and walking with him over the border.” Say what you want about either leader but this is a step in the right direction. Hats off to Moon Jae-in.
