I was showing pics in this club since before it was legal here. They strip the metatags off your pics before posting, so as long as you aren't taking snaps of your driver's license, you should be okay!

Yeah. I'm not worried about this place. I take tones of precautions. Stripping exif, tor, vpn, etc. It's just not the same as being able to share with a person face to face.

Guaranteed on the ballot in CA in 2016 (probably many other places too, I just haven't checked), presidential elections traditionally bring out the youth, especially when there's a candidate they favor like Sanders. That's the 7th largest economy in the world, the estimates of tax revenue based off Colorado, Washington and Oregon's example is supposed to be in the high hundreds of millions to billions!

I predict recreational marijuana will be federally legal in the US by 2024

ignorant is not a bad word, it just means you dont understand something
i was extremely ignorant to aboriginals , and yes it was because i was regurgitating bullshit shoved down my throat, i said same shit you did , these things they are put in our minds from years and years of really poorly made statements that really make stereotypes and other thoughts and it just circulates and eventually you just believe it...like thats the only way it is

and than i had a "calling" so to speak and i took 4 years of aboriginal studies specifically in canadian policies and that sorta junk
and i couldnt fucking believe the shit i learned, you would be so surprised

so yes i think youre highly ignorant, but than again 9/10 canadians on the aboriginal issue are, buts its not their fault its just what theyve been told for so long becomes the norm

corruption is everywhere it is not limited to any race of people or any culture, but the majority of aboriginal tribes are not corrupt. They are not making 500,000$ dollars as a chief and than using it on just themselves, thats such a typical ignorant and stereotypical response but thats not the reality of the situation, the truth is some are corrupt but the majority is not, and you will only ever hear of the bad , and this is because of canadians animosity towards aboriginals

I really really want to quote what a Con MP in my city said about the missing and murdered women, he basically said it was their own fault for being killed.

but that would give out my old location and several other members it happens to be a very small town so i will not you will just have to believe me.

Actually I have spent considerable time in native communities and the far north, actually witnessed for myself what they experience, the younger generation has lost their way. They no longer depend on nature to provide, depending on the government, but complain that its inadequate. Go sit on the lawn in Wawa or any other northern town the day after the cheques come out and tell me what you see then we can talk some more. And yes the bad ones are in the news as it should be. Again perhaps its time they embraced the way of progress and developed their vast resources for the good of all of their people. But please be specific about what they need in your opinion to make life better. I've seen what they've done to destroy it, booze, drugs, handouts, wasteful use of resources. Do you blame yourself as a white non-native person for their failures? I know I sleep well knowing I bettered my self and believe if they wanted to they also could. The only natives that I know personally are hard working, educated (free I might add), and have great jobs.

I'm thinking 2016. Trudeau clearly stated he was starting work on it as soon as elected.

That would be nice for you Canadians, I hope that happens. I read something recently that said there are certain agreements other nations have to uphold if they want to receive anything from the US (like foreign aid), like drug policy stipulations, which is why a lot of other countries haven't just said 'fuck it' and legalized already. Portugal decriminalized in 2001 and I believe Paraguay just legalized marijuana recreationally last year or the year before. Basically it was saying Canada can't really do much until the US does

Not positive on any of that though

And there is another story behind this, which may have an important lesson to Americans on the verge of seeing a 3rd party truly manifest. It is the story of the NDP, and how after riding the "Orange Crush" of 2011, they have fallen back to just "being there". The dynamics in a multi-party system can bring surprises from several angles, so one can never be sure how the axe will swing. I think the greater message here--as far as party politics goes--is consistency in legacy. That's one thing the Angry Beard blew from the start; you don't steer the ship 45deg off-course immediately upon taking the helm, especially when the ship isn't in danger.

Have we ever needed foreign aid in resources or war not including world wars, we aided each other in a time of crisis, may the bond between Britain, United States and Canada never be broken.
