Legalizing Weed or Getting into the Pot Business

This post is about my country's angle on marijuana. I live in Canada. My prime minister is a guy named Justin Trudeau. If you've read my posts before you already know that I'm NOT a fan.

The long standing issue of what to do about pot has entered most governments by now. Not too many years ago, smoking pot could get you fined and even jailed right here in Canada. I myself was almost busted for smoking a joint not too many years ago by an over zealous young cop in Toronto. He held me up on at side street in Toronto for hours until I finally told him to either arrest me or let me go. Eventually he let me go but not after hassling me and my friend for half a day.

The many years of research show that smoking pot is by and large not a healthy habit. For young children, it's down right dangerous while for others it might render us silly. There are definitely some very useful benefits to weed as well. But this post in not about the good vs bad points regarding weed.

I've told my children at a young age that smoking pot is not good. I also told them that there are many  other things in this world that we do that if we do extensively, are not good. Ie. watching too much TV, eating too much, playing too much, studying too much (yes you read that right), etc.

All that said, I and most Canadians wanted our government to simply decriminalize pot. Our prisons are crowded enough with real criminals (murderers, robbers, etc.) that we don't need to put people in jail for smoking a joint or possessing small amounts of pot. But now Trudeau has unilaterally decided to not only decriminalize pot but to get into the post business! Soon they will be growing it, distributing it, selling it and regulating it. Like any enterprise most governments get into, they can't compete with the private sector. Their employment policies generally make it difficult if not impossible to fire bad employees. Their overhead is through the roof. So for those pot smokers who think this will drive the cost of pot down, think again. I predict that perhaps for the first few months the cost will go down simply because all the illegal, non government producers/sellers will think that they need to drop their prices in order to compete with the government. But soon thereafter the prices will level out.

Will pot usage increase? Most experts think so. Until now our government told us explicitly how dangerous pot was for us. Some of us (quite a few in fact) believed them. Many of us simply like to follow the law. After all, most of our laws are designed to keep us safe so we, for the most part here in Canada are law abiding citizens. Now our government has done a 180. They went from putting pot users in jail to selling pot to the public. If I was a child, I'd be very confused. Not too many years ago, police were regular visitors at public schools with the job of teaching children about the dangers of pot, how to identify it and how to call the cops when you see someone dealing it. Now our government is all about pot. Today they are not saying that it's good for you. But the implication that it is, is simply staring us in the face, after all they are getting into the weed business big time.

The message is clear. When our PM has a choice to make, it will most likely be the wrong one.

Thanks for the Laughs Justin

I'm talking about my Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

When he was first campaigning he was recognized by most people throughout the entire world as this young, cool, handsome man who is the son of one of the most famous Canadian politicians ever. His father was posted on just about every local and international magazine back in the day. Who can forget him paddling a canoe down a beautiful river wearing an original buckskin jacket? His dad was intelligent (more or less) and well educated. He was a lawyer (that's got to count for something, right?) and like Trump, knew how to make use of the media. Although probably still thought of as a great Canadian PM by many, the rest of us consider him a disaster. He helped raise interest rates thru the roof with his tight money policy and his politics was dangerously divisive. Mostly thanks to him, our French province of Quebec has been elevated above the rest of us and the separation issue will likely never go away. So although he almost broke our country, he did it with flair.

Which brings me back to his son, our current leader. He certainly has his father's flair and he is also dangerously destroying our country or at least trying to. Under our previous leader, Harper left us in excellent economical shape. We actually had a surplus budget when he left. Now thanks to the spending of Trudeau's Liberal government we are billions of dollars in the hole and counting. His immigration policy is simply to let in anyone he wants. No vetting required if you are of the right religion or race. He has dangerously stripped down our military to the point that any mickey mouse country with the will to conquer us, could if it wasn't for the protection of our US neighbours. His foreign policy is a disaster IMHO. Not the best friends with Israel. Much better with the Palestinians. 

Here he is at a local mosque with ties to terrorists:

His love affair with political correctness is equally dangerous and I find it beyond offensive. All leaders are arrogant but I believe he's reached new heights. I've said this before: Thank G-d we are a powerless country. On the world stage we are near the bottom. Because if we were a world leader like the US, we would make the world a dangerous place with Trudeau at the helm. Despite his reckless policies we are blessed to live in a huge country with bountiful resources like minerals, precious metals, fresh water, trees for lumber and paper, miles of farms and a huge coastline that still boasts some of the best commercial fishing. These resources help keep us above water. Had Canada been a country in Europe we'd be in super big trouble. His immigration policy would compete with Germany's and we be flooded with millions of unscreened Muslim immigrants from backwater countries. Again no thanks to him, we are surrounded with 2 huge oceans that make it difficult but certainly not impossible, for these migrants to charge in here.

Like Obama, when Justin was first elected, he was treated like a god. The mainstream media kept quiet on all of his mistakes (there were/are many) and kept elevating him to hero status. Now the world including many Canadians who voted for him, think he's a fool. On the web right now one can find thousands of articles and funny pics of him travelling around the world in different outfits trying to impress foreign dignitaries. But it isn't working. It's backfiring! Take his latest junket to India. Besides taking a Sikh terrorist with him and his family he made quite the impression when he and his family wore saris when he met official Indian government officials. While the Indians all wore western styled suits, he came out dancing in a sari. There he is showing off his dancing skills again. I guess his background as a part time drama teacher is paying off. He is difficult to listen to. His typical, meaningless boiler plate like 'Diversity is our strength' is all he's got. If you want to know his preference in foreign policy simply count the pictures of him with the foreign country's national garb. The internet is full of them. You can bet that before he left for India, he didn't dare prep himself on the needs of Indians, what trade deals we can make or consider bringing the appropriate cabinet ministers. No, his first priority was getting the appropriate costumes and learning the local dance moves.

I challenge you to find another world leader who is considered such a fool today! No one takes him seriously anymore, nor should they. He has made Canada the laughing stock of the world. I feel like crying but I'll laugh instead. Here is one of many hilarious memes on our PM and his outfits.

Trudeau visits Israel

Enjoy our legacy!  Justin, thanks for the laughs!

'Syrian Refugees' = Jihad by Immigration

Some of you might not like what I'm about to say. But I'm not here to make friends. Sometimes the truth is painful.

Why is it that we in the West are clamouring all over ourselves to take in millions of 'Syrian Refugees' while the wealthy Gulf States are not taking a single one of their brother Muslims?

Why is it that so many well intentioned, good hearted, peace seeking people including many Jews and Jewish organizations and even synagogues as well as Christian groups and churches are pushing to welcome the 'Syrian refugees'?

There are many Jews right here in my hometown of liberal Toronto, Canada that compare the 'Syrian refugees' with the Jewish refugees who survived the Holocaust. Can we close our eyes to the horror that many 'Syrian refugees' are suffering? Shouldn't we as generous, humane people, let these poor folks into our great country? Are we that xenophobic? Imagine if we closed our borders to our parents generation who barely managed to survive the Holocaust? People like me wouldn't exist.

One last question: Why do I keep enclosing Syrian refugees in quotes?
The migrants pouring in to my country and others in the West are neither Syrians or refugees. Sure a small faction are Syrian as well as true refugees. But most are not. The majority are Muslim. They come from a variety of Muslim states such as Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Sudan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc. From the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Many are not suffering like true refugees suffer. Most are not displaced citizens and have a home albeit the home might be a tent. Of course their standard of living doesn't come close to ours. But that doesn't deem them a refugee. Many want to upgrade their economic status. I don't blame them. But we must look after our own first.

Now to the main point. As per the Quran, there are only 2 ways that a believer can achieve paradise, guaranteed:

1. Die while killing infidels (eg. suicide bomber)
2. Infiltrate and populate non-Muslim countries and make them Muslim

In fact the Muslim calendar is not based on Mohammed's birthday or death. It's based on the emigration of Mohammed and his followers to Medina where Islam was ultimately spread by the sword. Many Islamic leaders, from religious imams to ISIS leaders urge Muslims to immigrate to the West and even breed with non-Muslims in order to subjugate them. That's the main reason why the masses of poor Muslims don't want to go to the wealthy Gulf States. It's also true that these wealthy heartless arabs don't want to have more charity cases in their country. But why worry when by denying them entry they will ultimately see paradise as per rule # 2 above.

Their plan is simple: Under the guise of war torn refugees, they will storm the West en mass. The world economy is already weak and fragile. Mostly due to poor governance and demographics, the West has become a welfare state. I guess Russia won this one. Europe is one big socialist basket case teetering on bankruptcy. The muslims piling in who are used to living off meagre handouts from their theocratic states know how to play the 'give me game' before they even get there. Unlike the Jewish Holocaust survivors who never took a dime from the new governments who let them in, the muslim migrants are demanding of everything. From more money to better living quarters. Some are living in palaces throughout Europe. In no time, they make shit holes out of them. In many cases they burn the homes they living in. In short they will bankrupt us. Their pushy, confrontational culture clashes with our peaceful, live and let live way of living. As we continue to appease them rather than stand up to them, we will in time lose everything. When their population rises to a certain percentage (5% or more) they will demand more and get more. As politicians suck up to them, their demands will get louder. Sadly the government leaders who think appeasing them will solve our problems are only making it worse. Until its too late. By that time we either face a civil war, submit to them or become slaves to them or worse.

What's really scary is the way many Islamic leaders and organization have instructed the masses in detail on how to successfully commit jihad by immigration.

The first cohort of 'Syrian refugees' entering our country will be peaceful. They will hide their religious animosity to us western infidels. In fact they'll hide their own religiousness and identity. They will delete the videos of beheadings that they happily recorded on the cell phones. They will trim their beards and temporarily many will not wear the burqas they might be used to. They will be polite, wear big smiles and say thank you. In Canada our new leader, Justin Trudeau has decided to let in 50,000 'Syrian refugees' in his first year of power. After a year each of these migrants will bring in 10 dependant migrants. So after a year we could see half a million more muslims. We can easily look at history to see the pattern. In just a few hundred years countries like Indonesia who were predominately Buddhist, Hindu and Christian had become the largest Muslim populated country  in the world with 203 million muslims. It would be suicidal to be a practicing Christian or Jew to live there now.

As long as we continue to let them in unchecked, our way of life will slowly but surely disappear. The leaders who let them in will see it as a win-win since the more they let in, the more votes they'll get and the longer they'll be in power. Until one day they will be replaced by a muslim leader and our democratic, liberal, freedom loving society will be replace by sharia law. The following groups of migrants will no longer be so friendly upon arrival. Look at what's happening in Europe right now. Here is a video (1 of many) if you need to see some proof for yourself:

As for well intentioned Jews comparing Jewish refugees who survived the Holocaust to the 'Syrian refugees': I find the comparison both ridiculous and insulting!
While the Jews had nothing, all was taken from them- their families and their homes, the migrants for the most part are not in the same ball park. The Jews survived the most horrendous torture of modern times, the Muslims have not come close. The Jews while keeping their identity integrated very well into western society and in fact contributed way above the average citizen. You don't have to look too hard to see hospital wings and university enters donated by Jewish philanthropists. While Jews have brought civility, peace and light the radical Muslim culture has brought hate and violence including intimidation, rape and murder to us. Sweden's rape rate has increased by an unprecedented 1500% !

If there was a way to screen the millions of muslim migrants to ensure they are not radicals and not terrorist I would surely agree. But there isn't. Every government's main job is to protect it's citizens. Are we already so indoctrinated with political correctness that we are blind to what's going on all around us? Did we already forget Paris twice and the murders in San Bernardino?

The West's policy of letting in millions of Muslim migrants is the most dangerous policy ever! Maybe once England, France, Germany or Spain go down and submit to sharia we will get the message but by then it might be too late. Instead of focusing on defeating ISIS we are focusing on climate change. This is beyond a sick joke. Instead of isolating Iran and ratcheting up sanctions we are giving them billions of dollars to fund their nuclear ambitions.

People with the best intentions are getting us killed!
