I don’t know if Mayor Fred Eisenberger ever smoked pot. If he did, he wouldn’t feel out of place at the post-election party of candidates vying for the mayor’s job in the municipal election later this year.
Of the four candidates who have declared an intention to run for the city’s top elected job, two are marijuana activists – Michael Baldasaro and .

Maybe Fred did smoke pot when he was a much younger man, but didn’t inhale? If I were mayor of this city, I’d be smoking weed every day. A good stoner may be exactly what this city needs.

Baldasaro has run for the mayor’s job before. Leader of the Church of the Universe, he also ran for Parliament in 1984, 2000 and 2004.

Aside from his degree in “weedology,” Haines is listed as director of 420 Graphics.

Also mulling another kick at the can is former mayor Larry Di Ianni. I spoke to Larry back in late 2009 and he told me that he would never run for politics again.

I think it would be great to have DiIanni in the race. I wonder if he smokes dope?

I find it hard to believe anyone who tells me they will “never” do something again. Take it from a guy who has failed a thousand times to stick to a “never” promise.

I should mention that Mahesh Butani has also tossed his name into the race for mayor. He is described as a teacher and architect by training. Not much else to tell you.

Why don’t these people try and run for council before they go straight for the top job?

I don’t mean to make light of those who seek to serve in public office. I’ve always said if you’ve got it, roll (with) it.

A number of names are popping up as candidates in various wards, and I expect this fall’s election will be one of the most exciting in recent memory. There is a lot at stake, and it’s important that we take every candidacy seriously.

Personally, I’d like to see the new mayor bring forth a puff-puff-pass bylaw. It might actually help our council get on the same page for a change. Right now, too many people are hogging the joint.

Court still prohibits marijuana possession

Court still prohibits marijuana possession Shannon Kari, National Post Published: Thursday, December 11, 2008 The prohibition against simple possession of marijuana has been upheld by an Ontario Superior Court judge, in a closely watched case that stemmed from the prosecution of Clifford Long, who was arrested by Toronto police with $40 worth of cannabis. Justice Eva Frank overturned a decision by a lower court judge last year that found there was no valid restriction against possession of cannabis because of flaws with the country's medical marijuana regulations. The lower court decision led to confusion about prosecuting simple possession cases in Ontario, said the federal government in its arguments before Judge Frank earlier this year. The federal Crown argued that the present policies of Health Canada have resulted in enough marijuana for the nearly 2,000 people with medical certificates to possess the drug. Judge Frank agreed with the arguments made by federal government lawy

Demons Of Guilt

Menu The LightHouse Dann Verner Some say my that my life has been a tragic sad tale. Only from their view point. Having lived through my life I can say it has been a damn good ride. I fear not dying for to die is final. To be waiting for that one final jolt of pain is extremely difficult to deal with. DEMONS OF GUILT This is a reflection of the pain I am going through as I finish my son’s biography. Delaney Jordan McLean Verner, 29 years old. Jordan “Bubba” Verner On Christmas morning 2019, hung himself in a town called Black Diamond . An obscure town in the underbelly of Alberta, Canada. He and his wife of 12 years, Katelyn had gone their to start a new life. Hoping to escape the homelessness rut and street life they were “Groundhog Day “  living on the streets of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. A dream that collapsed and left them stranded, freezing and hungry. Only to have Alberta Social Services rudely tell him and his wife to “Go home”. By any way they could. But, a big “but”….. Adding

My Opinion Regarding the Israeli/Hamas War

  Listen to this episode on Spotify or wherever you stream podcasts. How can it be all right for one side of a war ( Israel)  to bomb innocent civilians, but not okay for the other side ( Hamas)  to do so? Common sense would tell you that the majority of the people living in the Gaza strip are not supporters of the barbarism of the Hamas. They would much rather be living peaceful lives. Not living under the reign of fear from the Hamas. Largest part of the Gaza strip problem is that if the Hamas were to allow the innocent to leave, where could they go? Israel? Egypt? The majority of the Palestinian people are in the same boat as the average citizen of Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria. They are labeled and condemned by the actions of their governing leaders. The terrorist government controls every and all aspects of their everyday lives. You can not believe that all Palestinian citizens want to go to war. Their hands are tied and their voices are silenced by their leaders If they were to spea
