Anyone seen the story from USA Today(I found out about it at yahoo)? Canada's parliament is voting on a proposal to ease marijuana laws-So Mr. Bush has decided that if they go through with this we should impose more tariffs on Canadian Goods. Asshole. Another example of that humility he said we would use when dealing with the world. What is this fuck's problem(did ashcroft talk him into this, perhaps, or is Bush just still being more of an imperialist fascist fuck every day. It is just Canada, after all, not fucking cuba or iraq. All hail that smashing success known as the war on drugs! :banghead:

Everyone stock up on the maple syrup.

And people say there's no such thing as American imperialism...?

What's another tariff? Free Trade has always been one way with the American government.

The American Government had even wanted to declare Canadian waters between Vancover Island and the BC coast as International waters so that they wouldn't have to pay the toll for going through them.

correction-the story doesn't mention tariffs exactly, but "tighter security" on shipping and border crossing. The article also aptly mentioned that despite our harsher laws in the US, a higher proportion of high school kids down here in the US smoke the wacky tabacky. Who the fuck are we? Any Canadians haev any thoughts on our silly drug laws. I figure two can play at that game, maybe you canucks should start finding ways to interfere in our domestic affairs.

You're having a lend of me, right?

Please tell me that you're having a lend of me.

Please.

Well quite frankly, I probably would too, if I went to one of your public schools.

It's a coping mechanism.

Good news! This is the only good news about Bush I have ever heard of.

If "having a lend at me" means what I think it means, then no.

Living at the busiest border crossing in North America, I find the notion of even more border backlog irritating. When driving home from work, the tractor trailers are lined down Hwy 3 intersecting Howard, a good 10 kilometres away from the Ambassador Bridge.

On a related note of the "horrors of lax substance laws" in Canada: Windsor has always been known by the Michigan kids as the place to go drinking when they're of Canadian legal age. When the bars close at 2 am, all of these drunk adolescents pick fights with each other. Most of them are US matchups, no Canadians involved.
So, I was watching a segment on TV about how Detroit mothers are afraid of their kids going to Windsor and getting hurt. This made me laugh out loud. Detroiters are afraid of going to Windsor? Meanwhile, most of the time it's their own citizens picking fights with each other, just in another country.
Heck, we even give them medical aid that they refuse to pay, and still do it anyway.
