Bill C-52 will put that to a stop! have willingly self-shamed myself for allowing myself to be so busy co-running a business, working long hours and 7 day weeks; that I have totally forgotten about the world around our little business. My sources to keeping me up-to-date are our customers, with a recent wake-up […]

The consumption of cannabis, is popular these days, such as it has been 40 years ago. It is a trend it seems, in youth and adults. Now, you can even go to websites, such as Girls Gone Weed, (a site where women post pictures of themselves smoking pot), and promote it.

How many reversible implant procedures are there really? And why would your doctor tell ya to remove a transplant?
Meanwhile, it’s good to know that, after all these millions in outreach funds spent in BC, crystal meth use is actually declining in the province. But by how much? What I don’t get is […]

{IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Chromosome with DNA} After the human genome was sequenced several years ago, it was inevitable that someone, somewhere would see dollar signs in this. A California-based online company, 23andMe, is offering the general public genotyping services. You pay $999, receive a kit in the mail, which basically consists of a test tube […]

We don’t get a lot of these sexual discrimination complaints, and yet we still manage to dismiss the lot of them. In this instance even the arbitration for the Tribunal and the Plaintiff were in a tiff.
Is anyone else shocked about BC’s seemingly “green” budget? Many peeps seem to be siding with the […]

I found a used syringe by my family’s house in south Richmond today. It was sitting in the middle of a parking stall at Richlea Plaza (that’s #3rd and Williams for those not familiar with Richmond.) I poked it with my foot in disbelief. This is the same area I used to […]

Just a little bit of weather change and look at the disasters: (1) There are still some delays because of the snow, plus a CP train derailment which has impacted West Coast Express train service.; (2) Skytrains are congested and everyone is late for everything; (3) Schools are closing, and not just SFU.
And yes, snow […]

I read the BC Strategy on Tobacco recently. Apparently, BC has the lowest smoking rate in Canada (with an average smoking rate of 16% of the population versus 21% for the country).
