I promised on this morning's show that I'd post the stories relating to marijuana research done in Spain back in 2000 -- so here it is with all the related issues and links. I hope the material provided is enlightening.

This is going to be a hard post to write without cracking endless jokes about the effects of marijuana on one's general well-being... and memory. It's likely that a lot of the people reading this have heard anecdotal ...

Hello there to whoever it is that pops in to pick up the links. I've been feeling burnt out from a combination of what seems like endless research and numerous blog posts so I took a few days off. Feel free to leave a note.

It's hard to keep up with all the stupid lately as our own government has decided that the GWB jr. model for running the country is the way to go. In the latest example fear-mongering, a fact free explanation for policy that the majority of the country disagrees came from Lawrie McFarlane, former deputy health minister from B.C., who said Canadians lie on the census. He cited the...

The tribulations of Omar Khadr get lost in the shuffle all the time -- in fact the shuffle has been going on for almost eight years now and still he's in Guantanamo. As an issue this won't crop up again until his trial resumes in three weeks and maybe that's symptomatic of what's wrong with our media and our politics.

The amazing thing about Stephen's photo-op in the Arctic is that not one of the reporters there was willing to ask him a tough question. Nothing but softballs so he can forward his preferred narrative about "all" that he's done and is willing to do to help transform Canada's North. It'd be brilliant if it were true. The bulk of his promises were delayed , and still won't be completed until 2015, or 2017, which is long past the time to establish an unmistakable and definable presence in the North so as to support Canada's claims to our sovereignty over that region (the UN is expected to rule on all claims by 2013). Not a single question about why he...

Hello, and thanks for showing up. Having a tough time keeping up with everything but will try to get it done tonight.  

The RCMP report on the long-gun registry has surfaced and it is described as an important tool for law enforcement. Will the tough on crime Tories notice...
