Comment on Ontario Court of Appeal Concludes Hearings re: Striking Down Canada’s Pot Laws by Mario G (Windsor)

Great summary.
However I believe it unconstitutional to keep a NON-TOXIC substance illegal. There’s been sufficient scientific evidence to say that it is far less harmful to one’s psyche and physical health than other currently LEGAL substances (ie: Alcohol, Tobacco, Caffeine, etc…)
Also, the Prohibition of Cannabis has led to people creating Synthetic spice (ie: K2 Spice) which is resulting in catastrophic health issues in young adults and teens through out the USA and maybe even in Canada.

Hello all, This is Phillip Silver writing on the lack of willingness of doctors in London,Ontario supporting the MMAR forms from Health Canada’s MMAR program .For about 10 years now I have been trying to get the MMAR forms filled out to legally access marijuana to treat the chronic pain I suffer with throughout my body also to use it to increase my weight -as I have suffered for many years a eating disorder that causes me to have total loss of apatite .Currently I am 6’1 and 125lbs it is not only scary that I’m wasting away but also it is scary the lack of participation to rectify the situation through natural treatment.After trying so many different types of pain killers and anti depressants I have had no positive results from them .When I had the MMAR papers properly filled out and was prescribed 5 grams a day oral or inhilation I thought that I could finally move forward with a less harsh natural treatment to treat my conditions.After waiting on the final step of the application ,passport photos signed -They had been returned unsigned keeping me from submitting the MMAR forms .When I asked to be sent to another doctor that would continue with what Dr Boyd had started …I was told to continue this issue with my family doctor who is morbidly against marijuana calling me a lazy dependent of marijuana .After that I had phoned the London Compassion Center on the issue and explained my situation and that I had already been prescribed marijuana by a chronic pain specialist -I was told that they had been advised not to point anyone in the direction of a doctor that would help or offer any further help on anyone legally accessing marijuana or having the papers filled “keep in mind I was only needing my passport photos signed to finalize the forms .Then I took it upon myself to contact Health Canada’s MMAR program supervisor direct upon doing so I was told after explaining my situation to the supervisor that If my specialist that filled out the papers had gotten so sick he had to close the practice before signing the passport photos ,That I would have to restart the whole process all over dispite the fact that It took me 10 years to find any doctor that could fill out the forms to begin with .When I inquired on how I was going to find a doctor here in London,Ontario to fill them out and explained how difficult it was to have them filled out -The answer I received was “grab the phone book and start calling doctor offices asking if they have a doctor that supports marijuana”Not only is this misleading but unpractical considering that this is part of our medical legislation .After continuing to search for a doctor to help me in filling out the MMAR forms once again .It would seem the more I looked for a doctor to support it -the more I kept hearing from doctors that he was the only known doctor in London,Ontario that was willing to fill the forms out ,and since he got sick and had to close his practice i’m left here to believe that there is no way to have the forms filled out in London ,Ontario .How can someone take the legal way to access medical marijuana if no doctors are willing to fill out the forms that were placed into our Canadian medical legislation?Is this some kind of weird trap or sting operation London is using to try to lay more charges to those trying to treat there symptoms using this area of the legislation ? Seems weird doesn’t it ?

Anyways ….to keep us here in London,Ontario from being able to access legal marijuana though Health Canada’s forms -is to keep us in pain against section (7) of the constitution .Also violates are rights and freedoms to belief and choice to use a less harmful more natural way to treat the symptoms we face.After being posted in the London Free Press on my court case stating how i’m sick and how horrible I look -and how i’m getting a break? Then I took it upon myself to contact them to do an article on my story on why I had grown the 25 plants to treat my symptoms -the amount was found on a chart according to the amount that I was prescribed to use .Was all new to me and was a first time that I had ever tried to grow -yet they had stated that it was a sophisticated grow op ….It was a ballist and a light bulb above the 25 pots .not sophisticated at all -the plants were 10 inch approx ,also I had no idea If I was even growing them well .

Since the court case I sit in my house on a conditional sentence for 8 months with the ban of use of marijuana-keeping me in pain-and also a 10 year ban of weapons wich I have never been involved with any or even have a charge in the past ,not any charges in the past also they throw a alcohol ban on me -wich is fine I don’t even drink.Like so many here in London,Ontario that try to access the MMAR program I continue to be ridiculed and sterio-typed against and am left feeling that I don’t have equal rights or the freedom of my own thought and beliefs like everyone else on thier own thoughts and beliefs .Why is Canada picking on me ? Can anyone help me feel like I have rights again ? up till now I just feel victim to a system,that obviously does not work. Thank You to all .

You couldn’t pay me enough for either of these boring jobs. If I had one I’d have to text-sleep or read a news paper.

I wouldn’t want either job . to stand or sit in a mindless job as either of these. I’d probably have to read a paper-text message or yes even sleep.

Hey I completely agree with you about Colton and his cruelties, I was so excited to see him go home, and in my opinion Karma got it’s revenge. You would think being a gay white male in this time would make you humble and more sympathetic to others, but for this boy he is the worst of it all. He not only gives himself a bad wrap, but gays along with white males. This boy was a complete racist ass who was sexist, and very snobby. Thanks so much for expressing what most of America is feeling, appalled and pissed lol.

Comment on University of Toronto Objectivist Society: Shrugging Off Atlas Shrugged? by Paul McKeever

Derick: I think UTOS has made an error with this one. However, I’ll not be writing-off UTOS as a result of this one event. If, for example, UTOS again hosts a talk by an A.R.I. representative, and my schedule permits it, I would be happy to attend. I can only recommend that UTOS be mindful, as it proceeds and grows, that an organization is defined not merely by whom it welcomes, but – perhaps more – by whom it refuses to welcome.

I thank you for your stated support of Freedom Party.

Regards,

Paul McKeever

UTOS president here

Hi Paul. Thanks for your input. I have always appreciated your unabashed will to form and express evaluations, and continue to appreciate it.

I agree that Randy Hillier is not spreading Objectivist politics effectively. I disagree that to have a dinner with him is to “sanction” the intellectual compromise that has characterized his career, or to imply that the PCs represent Objectivism. He’s not an Objectivist and doesn’t intend to spread it per se, and as such he is not addressing us as an Objectivist or in the role of a teacher. I intend to spend much of tonight debating the philosophical and practical/career differences you and I have with him.

If I were contextualizing this as an Objectivist politican teaching us about Objectivism, that would be sanction and undercutting Objectivism. But I don’t think an Objectivist organization having engagement with admittedly non-Objectivist entities with the intention of promoting it is sanctioning their non-Objectivist aspects. I most likely, however, should have made it clearer in the event description that this was about discourse with those *outside* of Objectivism.

I hope this doesn’t prevent you from engaging in our activities that you do agree with, and I hope we have the opportunity to help promote the Freedom Party, which is the party we support, and that it takes many seats away from the PCs in the next election. Thanks!

I didn’t think it was possible to dislike another human being more than Rush Limbaugh. I was wrong.

Disgusted!!!!!

Colton = shifty, spoiled, intolerant, self indulgent , ugly, shallow, cowardly, narcissistic, narrow-minded , repulsive, ignorant, immoral, slimy

Bill = Integrity. What a great guy.

I am disgusted. Horrified actually, that the trash that was coming out of that human garbage disposal was accepted as entertainment. Disgusting!

I am so disappointed with the producers for allowing this. I know, it sounds idealistic but come on….seriously where are the boundaries?

There was another older person in the team who yelled and used profanity then ended the sentence something like “we have a black president”.

I hope Colton will be voted out otherwise the show is going to get ugly since the women’s team include black woman.

The show was taped so why CBS broadcasted? Ratings? Remind us the past?
