Fast eclipsing it’s southern neighbour, Canada took the final leap today and legalized weed.
The FIRST G7 Nation to do so, Canada becomes the second country after Uruguay (of all places) to completely allow marijuana use by its citizens without reproach of prosecution. Pushing it one step further, forthcoming full pardons for simple pot possession are expected soon. GO CANADA!
SMART ! The tourism is going to go batshit next summer as those poor Americans head north to herb country.
The death penalty is morally indefensible and has no place in the 21st century. I will be interviewing shortly and welcome viewpoints from both camps. I can hardly wait to feel the cold-hearted vengeance rip through the phone lines as the useless emotion of revenge takes it’s toll on the victim’s families… by all means, PLEASE send us as much hate mail as you can !!
Photo of the Year: Above the Polar Bear (Phantom 4 Pro)
More than 4400 submissions from 101 countries made it to the Aerial Photography Awards. Only seven have been selected as winners in the categories that include urban, wildlife, sport, people, nature, abstract and an overall photo of the year. The winning photo of the year went to a French photographer Florian Ledoux.
His shows a polar bear crossing over ice blue water. The photo was snapped in Nunavut while he was working on a report about wildlife in the area. Florian said, “I have witnessed incredible moments and scenes of the wild, but I can guarantee you that this, by far, is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I hope that future generations will still be able to witness the beauty and grandeur of the Arctic wildlife the same way we do today.”

Well kiddies of the northern hemisphere – summer is OVER.
We had a great time visiting Canada BUTT can hardly wait to get back to the heat, it’s damned COLD here lately (especially at night.) We’re sorry to be leaving friends and family but they can now come visit us in February.
Montréal is a blast and we highly recommend everyone visit at least once.

"The greatest evil is not done in those sordid dens of evil that Dickens loved to paint ... but is conceived and ordered ( moved, seconded carried and minuted ) in clear, carpeted, warmed, well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices"
-- C.S. Lewis [1898-1963]

"You are talking to a leftist. I believe in the redistribution of wealth and power in the world. I believe in universal hospital care for everyone. I believe that we should not have a single homeless person in the richest country in the world. And I believe that we should not have a C.I.A. that goes around overwhelming governments and assassinating political leaders, working for tight oligarchies around the world to protect the tight oligarchy here at home."
