http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39411026 Canada to legalise marijuana 'by 2018' Recreational marijuana use could be legal in Canada by 1 July 2018 under coming legislation, according to reports. The federal government will table legislation to legalise marijuana by April, public broadcaster CBC is reporting. So what the Liberal Party promise and plan for April is now trumpeted as an accomplishment on "Canada Day" / "Fête du Canada" 2018. (psst, that's July 1, 2018 ) Put off to tomorrow what should be done today. Whose smokin' now? Sing along Moi With proper humility, shouldn't Canada Day be a half day, or a morning, maybe an hour. r > g Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic, regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.
Ok, gotcha now. Im not sure. We are a bit Victorian with stuff like this. There's nothing more benign than a pothead and I think that all recreational drugs should be decriminalised. If this were to be done, we'd get rid of a lot of the crime associated with the (now) illicit drugs trade. We have a very strong hard right controlling our government at the moment-pushed mainly by fundamentalist Christians and I can't see them being sympathetic to this. They can't even agree to changing the Marriage Act to enable same sex marriage. Love the song!
Believe It Or Not, Sallyally DEAR This is not about YOU nor O.Z.Land. This is about, La Canada. A thread on the Canada forum. And I typed real slow for you too. Moi r > g
"How does O. Z. Land stand on the topic." I thought you were asking how Australia stands on legalising grass?
I may have to move a bit north... All of these possibilities now, popping up all over.... Nice thing w/ this deal, is that it's at the national level... I hate the cold tho, even coming from a Wisconsinite...... But love hockey..... Meh, after a few blasts, the cold don't seem so bad...
I lived in Milwaukee for 2 years. The second winter got into my finger joints and they became visibly red and swollen. Although I wore heavier coats and gloves than the locals, I came to realize I am not designed for the cold. I did like Milwaukee, the people and culture. The Town of Milwaukee with universities and symphony orchestra. Some town. And I am an addict for the movie Fargo. I remember trying to scrape ice off my windshield. But, is a different place. Cold and more. Never forget Rollo Martin! All because President Truman told the joke about the ice fisherman who caught 40 pounds of ice. I doubt it. It goes back further than Truman. The ultimate cover-up. hackers make it look like the CIA is making it look like the Russian. Moi r > g Never Forget!

Stranger and stranger La Canada is. Eh Witness, the inhibition of trade between the Provinces. http://www.macleans.ca/economy/econ...and-the-bad-in-canadas-provincial-trade-deal/ The good—and the bad—in Canada’s provincial trade deal The deal to tear down trade barriers between the provinces isn’t perfect, but it finally puts Canada on a path to greater internal trade freedom Each day more than $1 billion moves between provinces, roughly equivalent to 20 per cent of Canada’s economy. But countless thousands of sometimes small differences between provincial rules, regulations, certifications, standards, registration requirements, and so on, makes doing business across Canada difficult. This raises prices, lowers productivity, and lowers income—all to the determinant of Canadian consumers and businesses. . . . . . . . there are lots of exemptions—135 pages worth. And some are pretty silly. In Ontario, only residents can be travel agents. In Quebec, only residents can register a race horse stallion. In Manitoba, providing legal services requires, for the most part, that the firm maintains an office there. When "America" abandoned the Articles of Confederation for the Constitution, one of the main points was interstate trade not being taxed or limited between the States. Pity did not learn from history. Similar to The French Revolution, whose leaders knew of the American history and system, yet chose for a more French experience. And so it goes while most readers probably think I make this stuff up. Moi r > g Police State Police share information of citizens.

We had interstate differences like that. An example of the ridiculous railway gauges in Australia: Western Australia, Queensland, Tasmania and parts of South Australia developed their railways with narrow gauges, which is the inside track shown here. New South Wales, Victoria and parts of South Australia built standard gauge, the outside track shown here, or even broad gauge tracks, for various reasons. These discrepancies remain today, which is quite a hassle when trains cross state lines. The first transcontinental train from Perth to Sydney, the Indian Pacific, only started operation in 1970 when the first rail line with a single gauge was completed across Australia. Previously, trains crossing state lines could be delayed for hours as either passengers and freight transferred to another train, or their existing train had its wheels changed to accommodate the different gauge. States insisting on their rights I suppose. How are you? Well I hope, sallally
California has gasoline formulas, car exhaust requirement, pesticide regulations, food regulation not shared by most States. Meaning some refinery in Texas cannot necessarily sell their Federally approved gasoline in California - unless it meet our standards. And it is amazing California's leeway has never seriously been challenged under the Constitution's interstate commerce clause. But, it could be the Federal system at its' best as some of California's standards peculate up and become Federal standards. Anyone whose been here knows Foster Farms Chicken is a very good chicken. Now Arkansas, a big exporter of chicken has improved their birds. I think we have a law about how much space a grower must have per chicken. And if Arkansas wants to sell here, they gotta subscribe to that law. I hope such a law happens for the pork industry. Still "we" know interprovince trade is much more absurd, ridiculous, whatever. Glad you liked "Quigley Down Under". A real story of Australia. Moi Californian supports CalExit! r > g
We also have rules about how much space a free range chicken must have. Intensive pig farming is a very sad thing. Sallally
Finally, no more laissez faire policy. This time it is not about a pig. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_War_(1859) It is about dumping lumber and dairy products on the American market. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-trump-canadian-lumber-20170425-story.html Trump slaps tariffs on Canadian lumber imports, escalating trade tensions Andhttp://globalnews.ca/news/3392010/donald-trump-canada-dairy-industry-nafta-disaster/ Donald Trump again attacks Canada’s dairy industry, calls NAFTA a ‘trading disaster’ We can only hope judicious taxation of isn't far off.

I can't see an invasion of Canada yet, but I may be wrong. Do you think tariffs are a long term solution to trade problems. They can have an awkward bite you on the bum rebound effect. We ended up with a lot of Canadian pork after a trade deal twenty years ago. Our pig farmers were livid.
Food production is National Security! Both our nations need to grasp that against those who would flood our markets with gov't subsidized calories making it harder for our nation's food producers. That is the beginning of an extended plan of some such as to weaken our nations. Moi I'm waiting for O.Z.Land to dump "Mystery Meat" on "us". Part marsupial, part rabbit, mutton and whatever roadkill they toss in the machine.

They gave up pork for wallaby. Tastes like a cross between pork and chicken. Wallaby, The Australian White Meat. But, what of the domestic, Australian pork industry? Easily converted to Wallaby? We can only wonder until Sallyally gets back online. She does live in tomorrow land some ten hours future distant from the Greatest State of California. And celebrates Christmas near her longest day of the year, too. Moi r > g
Good morning, not raining this morning, but did overnight. O frabjous day, my tanks are full. Never eaten wallaby, but have eaten roo, emu and crocodile. Not memorable because I can't remember what they tasted like. Not that wrapped in venison either. What does possum taste like? I wonder if they taste the same as Australian possums. We've a friend with a piggery. They work very hard and run a mob of sheep as well to maintain a cash flow between pig cheques. Pigs have a very small profit margin owing to competition from imports.
I learned some new things. I also can tell you today, I have never raised pork to sell, nor to eat. Rabbits, sure. For a short time as a teen ager.
Are you allowed to tell us how you'll vote in the big one in 2019, if it gets up? I read the nine points in the yes California petition. Do you think the Federal govt will let this happen? It's a fascinating idea.
I loathe rabbit. We were very poor when I was a kid and we ate a stack of rabbit(underground mutton). I still hate the taste of it.
Frankly I did not like to eat rabbits. Raising them took that idea away from me. While Mom did cook some of my rabbits, I never was able to enjoy eating any. By the way, I raised the large New Zealand whites. Mine stayed in cages.
