Canada Is in The Middle of a Drug Epidemic.

Its not cocaine, its not heroin, its not ecstasy. There are new “Research” drugs in town like W18, Carfentanyl, and FuranylFentanyl killing hundreds of people per year. Firefighters in Vancouver and Alberta have been called for more opioid related overdoses than fires in 2016. It was all-over Canadian news and mayors in some major cities were demanding a solution. It got worse until they banned some of these drugs and they were finally banned in the main origin country, China in March 2017. The fear is that new versions are always popping up, so recently a blanket law was passed, stating that any compound that mimics another illicit drug, is automatically illegal.

Escort Paradise…

Prostitution is legal. Escorting is legal, but purchasing prostitution services is not (you can only pay for their time, the sex is between you and the prostitute, and cannot be what you are paying for. You can find many escorts in major cities from online websites, advertisements, the phone book, and back pages.

Marijuana is Big Business.

Since Justin Trudeau has been elected, he has promised the legalization of marijuana. First it was supposed to come in 2017, now it is supposed to be July 1st 2018 (Canada day). When this happens, they must remove all pot-related charges on all Canadian criminal records, There have been hundreds of marijuana businesses, and companies pop up in the past 3 years, many that are on the Toronto and Canadian Stock exchanges. They have already spiked a fair bit, making it an opportunity that all Canadians could profit from.

It makes you wonder if they told them… or maybe it would help to let them assume it was the afghans that were hostile.

Why Did the chicken cross the road in Canada?

Because Canada has the safest highways in the world… for animals. The parts that run through Banff park are shared with an assortment of bears, moose, dear, and other large animals. It doesn’t mean we don’t see roadkill, and get in accidents with deer though. But we have a ton of open road, and most of it has no traffic.

God Save Canada from The Queen!

In Canada, all Ministers, Legislators, Members of the Armed Forces, Public Servants, Police Officers, and even Civilians must swear allegiance to Queen Elizabeth II. When our Prime Minister (or Government) Justin Trudeau swore into office, his oath of obedience serves The Queen. Australia, another member of the British Commonwealth, ditched the oath more than 20 years ago. The fact that monarchy exists at all in the 21st-century should be shocking. The prime minister is ultimately responsible to the British monarchy not the people of Canada. This also shows that our Government is not the ultimate governing force, and there are those above him.
