Hummm...
It's like this western Canuck pioneer (who once gained sympathy while extradited to USA over a prison sentence for selling seeds...) now faces serious
sexual misconduct accusations. Although i actually got no idea/opinion about the alleged facts i can personally testify that i just witnessed my local French-speaking TV news bulletin performing more bigot anti-cannabic prohibitionist propaganda a few minutes ago.
This time by clearly instrumentalizing such opportunity to mention that Marc Emery, "Prince of Pot" (...), etc., etc. Euh... Just to play another subliminal
juxtaposition game where 2 very different things get conveniently associated together - m'well i mean it's more convenient for those selling "information" anyway.
It appears the CCF "community" went off-line recently, i guess it's no wonder. The Emery couple sure had agendas but i see no gain in loosing CCF, considering it attempted to provide pro-cannabic discussion space in
both official languages, as far as i'm concerned. So i'd try to differentiate between the various aspects, for example it's no punishment targeting CCF members despite their years-long support.
It turns out i didn't personally appreciate the couple's political involvement, etc., but i'll say i like even less to think that their demise now pleases my enemies all too much! ... Someone at TVA realized Pot & Sex Crime from English Canada would justify one more brave contribution to our public monochromatic space; e.g. just last night they broadcasted a show on homeless chronic stoners, with a few anti-tobaco ads as i recall. ... Go figure what's next tomorrow!
Briefly put there's the fact, then the facts behind the fact. It's the hidden part i'm most curious about, the one they won't show us in picture. Thanks to Justin's mari-caca "Légaleezation" i got to wonder about the guy holding the camera, then the guy hiring that camera operator, etc., etc. The Emery's fate leaves me relatively indifferent, i'm only concerned by the true motivations justifying such obvious pushing of information that would normally relate to not-so-famous distant people in my French-speaking province...
Supportive or critical? I'll be damned if i do, i'll be damned if i don't. IMO those who find a win-win scenario in this type of news also happen to be the same guys making a dime on prohibition v 2.0 - it's called a diversion and it's enough to make me more curious instead of less. Too bad now it's too late for me to even care, while the UN prepares their 62nd session on drugs, during an electoral year, with the prince of Pot in plain disgrace eventually.
Screens of smoke.
Good day, have fun!!
