I continue to read articles like this and can only shake my head and HOPE for some new changes. It does seem like many Canadians are NOW opening their eyes. S.H is the wolf.
Hopefully Americans will not make the same mistake.  Please read the following article:
http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/Canada/20120205/pm-harper-mandatory-sentencing-briefing-notes-120205/   What kind of logical thinking is this? WHO puts people who grow plants before pedophiles?  THINK OF IT ANYWAY YOU WANT. ONE is growing plants the other is hurting children for the rest of their lives. Mentally and physically.  NOT logical at all, only thoughts a  selfish, money grabbing, jail hungry, egotistical S&^% H%$#@ (fill in the blanks)  Cares for his image to the rest of the world before his OWN people.  For all that voted for him - the evil you know...  You only have yourself to thank. Secrets and lies and hidden agendas.     

Storm and I had a great day when we went out - of course. We met the owner of Burger's Priest who reminded me a bit like my laughing Buddha - he has the nicest smile and was of course a very nice person.  He has worked hard to be where he is and it is paying off. The new location was packed! I of course had my mind set on the Tower of Babel - LOL what was I thinking!? The 3 guys beside me were amazed and kept commenting on my attempt to eat the burger, I was not getting full of the flavor I was getting physically full and was not able to eat it all.  I did bring it home and Norm enjoyed the rest - his first experience with Burgers' priest and - it was cold, squashed and a little soggy and he LOVED it! LOL It is comfort food on a new level. ALSO much easier for us to drive to. http://theburgerspriest.com/  Perhaps the drive.. too easy- I'm already craving! 
Storm and I also talked about the power of the internet and  the good aspects - he explained meme & Philosoraptor - you have to check it out - I found it a great giggle - and some I did not get - http://memebase.com/  the toon above my first attempt and the one below inspired by...  you have to get your inspiration anywhere you can!  
Today I am drawing some Cannabis cartoons. I have to take a break from time to time - not from the drawing but the frustrating facts of Cannabis - and I don't  normally feel that way - it is a BEAUTIFUL, wonderful plant! Without the Politics.  I guess it is when I get concerned for my own son. If I let the 'what ifs' take over I'd be done. So, time to take a bit of a break from FB, especially with all the political news at the moment- I know who I would vote for IF I was an American;  all I can do is hope and pray  that they get the best president they can that will listen to his people, for the people and by the people. I look forward to the first woman president - and to those of you who say it will never happen - they use to say that not too long ago. I know when S.H. (you know who...) was elected  I felt discouraged and worried, but I still believe in our people and yes I also still believe others in government.  BUT I know many Americans who will fear for their own lives.  Very ill, already suffering American's, in America who will live in fear because of their own president, and I don't just mean a few.. I believe many will feel that way. Death penalty for Cannabis? The U.S.A government has the patent on Cannabis confirming they believe it is medicine -  and  one running says he does not believe in Medicinal Cannabis ?  More than the cannabis issue what does this tell you about Compassion ?  EVEN if not ill.. image if you smoke a little cannabis and your lives destroyed. 
FOR all of us WHO have,  we know that is wrong.  If you have not, then really - you do not know and should do some real research before you judge others. 

To BRAD PITT : Oh! I am so disappointed in you! YOU KNOW! COME ON! Saying it turned you into a donut - I bet you were smoking it since the beginning of your career - if not sooner - your 'donut period' was not the cannabis but the stress - said it before and I will say it again - chances are it's the person NOT the plant.  Now - should you want to apologize feel free to call me - we can discuss it over - brownies and umm you can pose for a toon. My studio is tiny so Angie will have to stay home. xox Georgia  

I missed yesterday - a bit under the weather. We certainly can not complain about this winter here in Canada - unless of course you LIKE snow. I like it - to look at but that's about it.  So today I am grateful for photos- visuals that summer is around the corner and the promise of spring - NEW life with it! 
I watched a documentary last night on North Korea. I am thankful I AM in Canada.
To be ruled by a man (men) who watch their people starve, keep them ignorant so that they do not realize what the rest of the world is like. The only one  obese in the Documentary was Kim Jong il. They worship no God other than Kim Jong il. They have prisons every where and most things are punishable by death. Speak Ill of il and you are put to death.
The ones that do escape to China are then treated like dogs and forced into sexual labour - or sent back  - where they will be put to death.  Shame on China. 
I say Thank God I am born in Canada and then I look at our leader - S----- H----- -( fill in the blanks any way you wish.) With him building  the new prisons and turning Canadians into criminals. Changing the name of OUR government to Harpers Government.  I had a friend who bitched about S.H all the time but when it came time to vote - she didn't have time to look into the other candidates so she voted "for the evil she knew". 
Instead of making a change because of being lazy - that is what it is all about, not going to vote, not finding out who possibly has your best interest at heart. LAZY. Vote for the evil you know? Then deserve the evil you get.  BUT your children don't.  I did not VOTE for S.H.  I WILL NOT vote for S.H.  In this country we have the right to vote. I will not vote for the lesser evil but for someone who gives me hope. I am thankful I was born in Canada and hopeful next election we will vote out our Kim Jon- opppps I meant S.H.
GIVE thanks.  Not sure who you will vote for, I suggest you start looking into it now...  or just look around, people hurting, losing jobs, jails being built...   

I am thankful for my girls who bring me smiles every day. No dogs in North Korea. ;-(

As hard as I try to stay positive I read or hear about someone that has been convicted of being a criminal for Cannabis. For growing a plant.  O.k. - possibly for growing many plants.  If you have a legal license to grow - fantastic! It means you believe in what you are doing and have gone about it the proper routes.  I am not hear to judge, if you 'qualify' for a license or not -it's  between you and your Dr. If you grow illegally - well you are taking chances.   I am NOT promoting illegal GROW's   especially those who do it illegally and destroys others homes (renters). Not Nice.  Not professional. 
BUT put this into perspective. Legal or illegal - Growing plants?  If you are not harming anyone in the process-  Growing plants  should not be a crime punishable like it is.  In Canada (sigh - Oh, Canada)  our 'leader'  S---. H---. (feel free to fill in the blanks yourself). has it so that if you grow Cannabis you are treated like a criminal and suffer a harsher sentence than  a pedophile.  This applies to patients legal to grow as well. I know of a few people personally who although legal and due to a lack of response on Health Canada's time with the MMAR licenses - have put legal growers (in most cases also seriously ill patients) in danger of being arrested. 
Pedophile: Someone who is sexually attracted to children usually under the age of 12, stalks and  physically and mentally hurts children.  Damaging them for LIFE in most cases. Some people never get over it. Yet grow a few plants and you go to jail.  
 WHAT makes sense about that ??? Really?  No wonder I  (we) get angry.
