What's up with the Canadian supreme court (Details inside)?

Next will be a mass emigration of dateless, horny, and terminally ill stoners from the US to Canada. ;-)

Ah the tri fecta, pot, potato chips and depression.

Wow.
Impressive.
Do you suppose that Canadian law enforcement officers will now be able to focus on criminals?

That would indeed be a worthy goal, @ibstubro. Since our ultraconservative (uh, for Canada) PM is all about prisons and being tough on crime™, it sure wouldn’t be the result of a concerted effort.

But the recent ruling about assisted suicide is probably not part of any trend, as @talljasperman describes. I’m not sure there have been any changes to the marijuana laws lately (though they have been much less harsh in Canada than in the US for a long time now), and recent proposed changes to prostitution laws will make life worse, not better, for prostitutes, according to most critics.

They will be able to direct their energy to overdue books at the library,

Wow. That might just affect the immigration to the state I live in—Florida. Canadians might choose to stay home, rather than find their way down to the sunshine.

Nah, @JLeslie

@JLeslie Canadians might choose to stay home, rather than find their way down to the sunshine.

It depends on what kind of sunshine they’re looking for! After all, we’ve been told for many years that pot is a gateway drug!
