Most Talked about Stories

A select few peoples opinions keep the words "traffickers" from being "entrepreneur". The real crime is tax evasion and tax waste. Al Capone didn't want booze legal. Everyone in Canada should think about all the people they even think have smoked pot at some point, imagine what your life and country would be like if those people were in prison (ALL OF THEM), are all those people hardened criminals in league will mafia and likely to snap at any moment??? I didn't so. Ask an RCMP officer in a isolated area if they would rather have a friendly stranger, a booze baron, or a cult leader walk into their town. I've been in small places when booze is the fuel burning fires in the hearts and minds of people. And I have been there when that friendly stranger shows up, its like night and day.
