| The issue isn't that complicated, imo. Should he be prescribed medical marijuana for PTSD (or some other similar mental health issue) he should be put on immediate administrative (desk) duty -- which he was. So long as he's able to perform his desk duties he should be able to toke up privately at di... |

| The restaurant industry is a gong show... I worked there briefly over the summer as an Expo (between the kitchen & servers in the pass-thru). I've never, in my short life, experienced such a stressful addiction-prone work environment in my life. The cooks and servers would often party multiple n... |

| I love Costco. My family definitely shops their loyally. Not everything is dirt "cheap". You have to know your prices. But this list and everything else make it a solid corporate entity. The only negatives is my local locations need to expand so badly! Richmond Costco is almost always a go... |

| Bart's proposal is actually a sound one in my opinion. The only feasible route for a bridge to Vancouver Island that would warrant the traffic volumes is out of Sydney, BC across the few Islands there and out at Washington State and connecting up to the I-5 at Mount Vernon. You could do away with t... |

| The downsides of a non-amalgamated Metro Vancouver: the loonie bins in Vancouver proper have a field day thrusting bike lanes, door knob specifications and unused electric car power up parking spaces on to the population. On my daily commute I have yet to encounter a red light at the Ontario St. @ S... |

| Ford's approval rating has risen 5 points since this news broke. Which reveals something not-to-surprising about conservatives. That they'll vote conservative regardless of the candidate? Nothing too surprsing there. I wonder if some of Rob Ford's rivals on the right are considering a challenge tho... |

| Why would you think being gay would automatically mean you don't want kids? Your kind of begging the question. If you're gay and have biological kids, do you become a breeder? I was more wondering if the desire to have children would override your complete disinterest in the opposite sex? I'm kinda... |
