Vancouver is OK because they have their own police force. The Feds can't dictate what they can or can't do..that can sue the cities though...I can see that coming.
Burnaby BC-a sub of Vancouver-can't have them because the only police force here is RCMP and they enforce Federal law. any city with their own force can regulate them all they want...and I hope Stevie & Rona go nuts!!

So page 7 says no corporations except for a registered society. I'm still waiting for the lawyer but that's a big odd. So it means you have to be either a proprietor ship or normal partnership. Its off why they did that only thing I can think off is to make it financially more harder to set this up.

to me that means that they can charge the owners...if you Are LLC, LTD or INC...doesn't that mean that the corporation can be charged and then the directors get charged differently but if you are simply a sole prop or partnership- you ARE the company

Well that is one part but I read in Canada it doesn't matter as if you are doing something while a director of an ltd company and its illegal you can be charged and your assets will not be protected. The ltd only works if your company goes under for whatever reason and you didn't do anything illegal to cause that action.

LOl well looks like were not going to go with it atm. Seems to be lots of things going on at the federal level. Apparently two of the councilors got letters from the Feds warning them about possible repercussions of this against them.

Also this hasn't been in the news at all but the Feds are raiding large MAMR grows. These grow where in contact with HC before about applying or were in the MMPR application process. These are Fed teams. Strange part is there are no charges laid at all.

So a local lawyer wrote an article in the local paper regarding the state of affairs in Vancouver...something I did not know...

"Much of Canada is policed by the RCMP, but not as a "federal" police service. When the RCMP enforces the law of the Yukon, for instance, they are technically doing the job of the territorial government. The RCMP has a contract with the Yukon Territorial Government-The Police Services Agreement- to provide policing services in the territory"

Further..

"Under the Yukon Territorial Police Services Agreement, the territory's justice minister has the power to "set the objectives, priorities and goals" of territorial policing, and has a right to be consulted about the appointment of the commanding officer. But a significant amount of control remains with the federal government, and it would be difficult to implement the kind of police force "civil disobedience" here that we are seeing in Vancouver.

It would be easy for a provincial or territorial government to force change to marijuana laws. While the CDSA is federally regulated, the resources to fund police and courts are a provincial / municipal responsibility.A simple decree stating they will not prosecute marijuana offences would stop it. The feds would then have to decide if they want to over rule the will of an elected government...a lose-lose for them. It's the exact same scenario that played out in Colorado and Washington.

How do you think that would go over...the feds going after a mayor for listening to the people? It would be fun to watch, but the feds lose...

Tell us exactly how one elected offical can get rid of another elected offical? How is the mayor going down? He won and the voters seem to support his commons sense approach to mmj.

Sorry but how did anyone but rob ford fuck rob ford? Smoke rock in video and the whole rest of his antics sunk him IMO. Btw he only stepped down due to being diagnosed with cancer. He's still a city councilor iirc.
