[kindred]

Hiya BobBong! Figured I'd check out yer home here and say hello :) As much as I appreciate yer help over in my world, maybe I can help prod this along a bit with ya!

Here's a relevant question regarding Canada... how are we going to get through to all those conservatives with head-up-ass syndrome? It really should be easy!

Here's my take:


ATTENTION "CONSERVATIVE" CANADIANS!!! Do not allow yourselves to be fooled by the misguided or self-serving and completely illogical rhetoric of marijuana prohibitionists!!! Anyone who preaches that they are morally opposed to the use or legalization of Cannabis, or who argues in favour of increased penalization for drug users or Cannabis gardeners, is absolutely confused, illogical and shamefully WRONG. It is immoral and counter-productive to criminalize Cannabis growing or consumption. It is immoral to imprison people for private, victimless, and often beneficial behaviour and choices. It is immoral to allow rights to be trampled, lives to be destroyed and ended, violence and greed and hate to proliferate while restricting access to God-given medicinal plants, arbitrarily discriminating between God's gifts. It is hugely immoral to enforce, support or increase a prohibition that causes far more harm than good. It is immoral to create and maintain a black market that gives control of billions-of-dollar industries to criminals because of illogical hysteria. It is morally WRONG and reprehensible to force drugs into schools and into the hands and veins of children by giving control over to criminals. It is unfathomably immoral to wage a misguided and counter-productive war, for such arbitrary and ridiculous reasons, against our own sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, parents and grandparents (especially those struggling with serious illness). It is SHAMEFUL. Conservative people not blinded by ignorance and propaganda must realize how wrong Cannabis (and other drug) prohibition is - and how much damage these prohibitions cause. If it isn't simply obvious to you, there's still no excuse - consult the Canadian Senate, the Fraser Institute, and Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) (links at www.torontohemp.com) for clear and concise 'conservative' explanation of why drug prohibition is senseless. 'Conservatives' everywhere - Can you please see that prohibition IS our drug problem!?

Whaddya think?

All the best,
Dom

now all you need is a commercial kindred :thumbsup:
I definately notice a difference since the conservatives took over. The cops are actually starting to bust people in BC! I'm from Ontario, but I live out in BC now and I arrived just in time for the cops to start cracking down on cannabis. Why don't they pay more attention to more dangerous drugs? Nobody is getting hurt when some guy grows a few plants for himself. :D

[OniEhtRedrum781]

because in their eyes, its still drugs. Oh BTW, hi from Montreal QC :thumbsup:

[CottonMouth]

[OniEhtRedrum781]

CANADA KICKS ASS. BTW, hey Eli ^

How do yo know my language!?

[gr8misadventures]

Hey Bob - I'm going to a show in Toronto on the 7th...you wanna come? Bring your wife/gf/date or whatever...we could toke a little beforehand...name of the band is www.myspace.com/rocketface I know the bassist kinda, and sorta know the rhythm guitarist. Think I might be on the list...

Anyway, about the conservatives. I was disappointed with our last election and I followed it closer than any other before... Last night, before dinner with my parents and some family from out of the country, I realized just how staunch a conservative my father is. And my brother voted NDP while my mum threatened to vote Christian Reform or whatever. I voted Liberal...but I don't keep up on politics as much as I should....just can't believe we all lived in the same home for 15+ years...lol

[dutch.lover]

ah politics... i have a mixed family when it comes to that as well. my dad is a raging conservative, although i dont think he has ever openly admitted it. my mom used to be a conservative, but voted green in the last election cause she was pissed at all the other parties and the stuff they have done in the past, my stepmom voted liberal, and i voted ndp. i live in vancouver, and yeah, they sorta screwed bc up a while back, but why not give them another chance! the liberals have fucked bc in the ass in my opinion anyways, it's time for a change.

[dutch.lover]

on another note, i love canada, and i love vancouver! i just moved downtown (i used to live near white rock if anyone knows where that is) and i'm lovin it!

[Perp]

Would not live any where else in the world (unless I was uber rich and could buy anything I wanted). Even then I would only move for the winters.

What I love about Canada:

The diversity of culture and geography, the wilderness, fishing, the big city, the small town, hockey, Newfies, beer, the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival, the farmers' market, the CNE, Quebecers, PEACE....

[HughESan]

Hello, im also from canada der... Uhh it dont stop, we still mashin hot presuit from the cops, analize why we act this way, in Winnipeeeeeggg...

Jhaid!

[dutch.lover]

Perp, that's a really cute kitty. Where do you live? Quebec?

[Canadien.]

I love how so many Canadians are on this forum. I myself am from Ottawa. Half Quebec, half Newf on one side. On the other I'm Norwegian.

What I love about Canada? The people, the music, the copious amounts of weed, did I mention the people? Oh and I hope I didn't forget about the weed.

BobBong, As if your from Canada. I've been here a while (on a different account, long story, nothing to do with the site) and never looked at what country you were from. Makes sense. Ottawa is a fantastic city IMO. I actually have never truely visited Toronto. I've been there many times. I've just never explored the city. What I like about Ottawa is that, you go downtown, and there is so many people you can randomly smoke with. Some of those dude's are a little too out of it for me personally, but then again, I'm probly a little too out of it for some, as we all may be to others. The grand majority of the people are fantastic, nice, helpfull, etc. A few sour apples, but honestly, where is there not?

Peace, Love, and Patriotism :rastasmoke:

Thank you, and nope, south Ontario.

Hi Bob!
Canada ROcks and yeah...those CONservatives are just dastardly! But hey, I think Dion may be just as bad.He has a poor opinion of pot, and has a very agressive anti-pot personality. He might decrim....but unlikely. I look at the Libs and think that historically they've said tons of stuff, but when it comes down to the nut, they are just CONservatives in red clothes!
The NDP have lost their perspective nationally, and the greens are just too socially conservative, but many of them agree that Marijuana could be of value in taxation terms.
Me...I've run for the Marijuana Party of Canada in 2 federal elections in Oxfordd County(100 km from you)(and recently municipally as well...although not with the party) and garnered some really good support...but it wasn't a 100% marijuana agenda, and I made some attempt to normalize things by adding the economic factor into the agenda, as well as a broad platform, with a strong left bend.(i guess that goes for the party itself...we are all radicals in one way or another that have been left out of the paradigm of political structure.)
I enjoy the forums tons...it's great to see the Canadian perspective alongside that of our US counterparts. It says a lot for the international lobby against the prohibition of pot.
I'm also a member of the Transnational Radical Party which has a very concerted effort, and is Ngo in General consultative status with ECOSOC of the UN. I urge people to make their opinions known, and to support their local Marijuana Party Candidates in their collective endeavours to bring Marijuana to the forefront of political change.

(hey...sorry for the damned near like quality of the preceding infomercial I have just posted! It is always a difficult thing to find a cutoff point! And I feel such a necessity to inform people of their choices that I can hardly contain myself!)

[dutch.lover]

hey, that's cool you are so involved in politics. i am a little bit, and i try to stay up to date on issues. the recent announcement from Harper about taking ideas from the US when it comes to drug policy is chilling, huh. do you think he is actually going to be able to enfore stricter punishments, or will he face too much backlash?

[harris7]

YEs fuck Harper. everyone here should check out the link on my sig. and write your MP about it. No one here wants the gov. to tighten up the drug enforcement Right? The liberals and cons. are both on very uneven ground right now. The cons know they screwed up on the "clean air act" so there going to be cautious with w/e they put forward from now on.

and the liberals want to form government again. They know they need more of the Left vote to do it, so they have their ears open. to see whats up.
So writing to both parties will have a much larger impact than it normally does. And it always has a big one. The parties know the stat's behind letters. It goes something like this:
for everyone letter they receive 15 people wanted to write a letter and another 150 people agree with the letter
Each of this 150 people talk to 10 people on average about the issue, spreading their opinion
And the 15 people probably convert 10 people each
and so on.

So each letter ends up representing a lot of their constituency So they really matter. If a Con. MP gets 10 letters he'll be making a call. Trust me, i'm very into politics and very involved in them.

You do have a voice and it isn't just voting
Please take the time to write and the 51 cents it costs to mail it

Thanks

[Canadien.]

Hunt club. Are you from Ottawa too?

And if so, go to major's hill on 4:20, good chance I'll see you there.

Good chance you'll see everyone from Ottawa on this site there too, lol.

Keep it green! :rastasmoke:

[sensi skier]

I love Canada so much. I lived in the U.S. for 10 years and upon returning to Canada I have found people to be so helpful and friendly. Weed is tolerated to a much higher degree here as well. I can actually feel safe smoking in many public places, where as if you even smoke outside in the U.S. you have to watch your back for a DEA SWAT team with tasers coming at you from the shadows. I am not involved in politics, though I sometimes attend rallies, and I just hope you political guys ;) can keep Canada the same great country it is now, forever. thx guys :)

[Shamokin1]

Oops, almost forgot the obligatory "Eh" LOL I'm newly transplanted from the US, so I've got to remind myself to say that, instead of the American "huh" or something at the end of sentences ;) Anyway, I'm loving living here (Brampton, ON) so far & I'll be really happy when I've met some cool locals and get some smoke! Peace ya'll.
