The way to reduce youth use is to increase the perception of risk of harm and of risk of penalty for such offences as driving drugged. There is a significant disconnect between the science and the public’s perception of the risks of marijuana use that urgently needs to be addressed. Justin Trudeau can have the Emerys, as we have the Pope, the Dalai Lama and we will gather the 91% of non-marijuana Canadians when the medical community has the courage to stand up and give Canadians the facts and not be spooked by “politics.” And you ask if we can handle an outbreak? Ha! No, we can’t possibly handle anything along those lines. Then, suddenly, there I was in isolation! Fortunately I had been to a walk-in clinic a week prior and was given heavy antibiotics which kept me from spreading my Whooping Cough to the whole hospital. I was finally admitted and waited for three days until the diagnosis came from the first hospital. I was left overnight in the emergency ward, long into the next day all the while without a mask, coughing until passing out all that time.
So for all bikers who are pushing for an increase in cycle traffic, you had better work on your cyclist friends and their behaviour if you don’t want to lose more support.Īre we prepared to handle an infectious disease? Hardly! After my first visit to a hospital, staying overnight in the emergency ward and being released at noon, I was taken by ambulance to another hospital, at 10 p.m., with a cough that caused me to lose consciousness. On my short trip downtown, I was subjected to cyclists banging the back of my car, blowing through red lights by using the crosswalk, weaving in and out of the bike lanes to get ahead of vehicle traffic, and verbally abusing anyone in their way. It is quite apparent, that cyclists have little if any regard for basic rules of the road, and have no respect or patience for car or pedestrian traffic. On a recent trip to Vancouver for a show at Rogers Arena, I was subjected to some of the worst behaviour I have witnessed in some time. I have had many discussions with friends and family, voicing my support for this increase and the benefits it would bring to the city. Sitting at my home in Kamloops, I have been watching the ongoing push from cyclists and government to increase the use of bicycles in the downtown, and to make significant changes to roadways to accommodate and encourage cycle use. government must comply with our Court’s decisions and put our teachers back to work post-haste.ĬYCLISTS HAVE NO REGARD FOR RULES OF THE ROAD So, BCPSEA is willing to lift the lockout so teachers can go into school early and prepare just in case the two sides are able to work things out in time? They are expecting me to go in early, voluntarily, when they docked my pay 10 per cent a day for two weeks in June for doing my job under the lockout conditions they imposed? So why so much delay in making a decision? The delay is dangerous. Sooner or later, the government has to bring decision. Their academic concentration and co-ordination are also interrupted. If kids remain away for a long period from the class room and an educational environment, then they easily loosen up the grip of study power. Seriously, no one wants to see our children’s prime time to acquire knowledge deprived for any reason. It is extremely sad news that so far the teacher’s demands have not been satisfied and kids’ educational problem has been amplified.
