Escape to Canada Part 3 of 9

[RichardHartl]

I'm curious to see Vancouver myself. Been living in Toronto for a few years now. It first it was pretty cool, but doesn't even come close to size and scope of New York nor does it have any stylish or aesthetic edge like Montreal does. Everyone looks stressed and hurried all the time. But, it's a nice place and it's in Canada. Can't complain, far from it.

Canada truly leads the world in personal freedoms. I would bet that their neighbour to the south will kick up a stink in the future, if Sarah palin or the like becomes president because they don't like people to be free and happy. Canada the Beautiful!

[Bozewani]

O canada our home and native land

true patriot love in all thy sons command

the true north strong and free

we stand on guard for thee

[kiddpoor]

America's little bro grew up to be cool as well as kind ;-)

[daydaviddunn]

the american officials just don't want you to use your drugs

they want you to use their drugs

that cost way more and are way harder to get

When people say "Hi, how are you?" I say "High. How are you?"

[replayinghighlights]

Although pot is not technically legal in Canada, we have VERY relaxed laws. Possession under an ounce are only fined around a 100 dollars, similar to a traffic violation. Nearly all first time offenders do not get a criminal record. Most Police around my town don't care about small amount of possession and will usually just confiscate it. As long as your not blowing smoke in peoples faces, smoking pot in your home is generally accepted.

[Grbgman]

Bah, homosexuality has turned Davies street and Commercial Drive into a "gaybourhood".

[velocity246]

That "traditional marriage" activist needs to get with the times!

[lovergurlz10001]

vancouvers ok boring and a bit stuckup, montreal and toronto seem much cooler

[thames5]

depends on where in vancouver you go @lovergurlz10001

[lovergurlz10001]

@thames5 nah vancouver's so small you tire out the cool spots like commercial drive and bits of downtown vancouver. Its also extremely expensive, when did hippies start living in million dollar houses?

[TheDickCesar]

@lovergurlz10001 suburbs -_-

[TheDickCesar]

@lovergurlz10001 Hippies don't live in houses, they live in Vans, they don't need any of that.

[yourcouchisbleeding]

fuck you dirtbag, canada is an amazing country.

but i'd expect any fascist to label a country where people are free enough to marry who they want and smoke weed as a bunch of queers and drug addicts.

[christo930]

You are just showing how stupid you are. The more knowledge one has of drugs and alcohol, the more likely they are to support legal marijuana. You don't get addicted to pot and you can't stop it by making it illegal. So shut the fuck up you stupid, uneducated moron! Lighten up and smoke a joint.

[christo930]

Moron.

[ChaozXIII]

Vancouver is also very asian

[ChaozXIII]

hastings is also a great place for cosplay as it has cheap fabrics

[Rinconmaniac]

Damn, I never realized Pierre Burton blazed. You can't with that intellectual genius.

[kfbs00oo]

@Rinconmaniac i guess that just shows that pot isnt that bad :}. i couldnt stop laughing at his wonderful rolling surface. i have been using my ap cal book but now i have to find my copy of the national dream.

smoke on

[Gnickk]

If they're Chinese, why are they talking about Canadian affairs? And how are churches at odd with the state in a way that they weren't before? Aren't lots of things legal that are forbidden in the J-C religions? Are they being forced to participate in any of those things? What is it to them if something that they don't do happens to exist in the wider society? How is that their business? I guess there are no answers to these questions.

[realmeee1]

CANADA FUKIN RULESSS!!!!!! smoke weed every day

[deepeeeh]

The States are creey.

[ueberwachung]

America is creepy. Somehow, the people got entranced with the 700 club and 'reganomics' and got addicted to safety and social policing. As an American, I dislike our national 'attitude-problem' and blatant arrogance with the world. It embarrasses me when I am abroad and see how Americans sometimes act. If Canada closed its borders, America would be much worse off. I like my country, but it has got to stop with the self-righteous parade. Humility and book reading might just do the trick.

[MonkeyBallZ214]

Canada is the new America. Congrats Canada, keep pushing and maybe we'll follow. Freedom spreads faster than oppression.

[PlanetXObserver]

@MonkeyBallZ214 The United States of America is no longer the greatest nation on earth Canada is turning out to be better than the United States. I am from the United States and I think people should have the freedom to smoke where ever and when ever they like and the people should have the right to pursue happiness anywhere in the world.Here in the United States we don't have that kind of enjoyment like Canada does.

[MScorpio503]

Martha McCarthy kicks ass pissed of the pope fucking hell ya!!!!!!!!!!

[Froggie2121]

They lit-up and smoked!!! I know, I had a heart attack too....but check the next part...PIERRE BURTON smoking pot?? On his last ever televised interview?? YAY CANADA!!! Yay Pierre Burton!

[TenshihanQuinn]

Pierre Berton smoked too??...Holy SHIT!

Is that for real, or a joke?

[Ibis333]

For real (and funny, so a joke too).

[billyysands]

it will never happen in the USA Obama still has me scratching my head, but i'm glad there is a Canada its like the Un USA like 7 up was the UN cola.

[samten54]

I've pissed of the Pope personally, the finest moment of my legal career. Just love that girl.

[FactVsReligion]
