So there are only two episodes left (three for us)?
The penultimate episode aired last night in the US.
(really, I just wanted an excuse to type "penultimate")
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Remembering our conversation from last week Ouise... I just read this on Canoe.ca's front page:
B.C. overturns same sex decision
Laws preventing same-sex marriage are discriminatory, the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled Thursday. In its decision the court gave the federal government until July 12, 2004 to change the law preventing gays and lesbians from marrying.

Yes, of course you can ask me anything.
Anything?? There must be a required course in the pharamcy program called "Deciphering the Illegible".
We have now been spanked by the Americans:
U.S. warns against softening Canadian pot laws
VANCOUVER - A top White House drug policy official is threatening retaliation from the U.S. if Canada relaxes its laws against marijuana possession.
David Murray, right-hand man to U.S. "drug czar" John Walters, says he doesn't want to tread on another country's sovereignty, but warned there would be consequences if Canada proceeds with a plan to decriminalize the possession of marijuana.
"We would have to respond. We would be forced to respond," said Murray.
Murray didn't spell out what the American response would be, but he invoked images of tie-ups at border crossings and intense bureaucracy.
He said if marijuana becomes more widely used in Canada, it could penetrate more widely into the U.S.
Murray tried to express the feeling in the U.S. that looser drug laws go hand-in-hand with increase in crime and drug addiction among youth, and used some apocalyptic language to do it.
"You can't wall this off saying, 'We're only talking about a little cannabis.' Our experience is they come together like the Four Horsemen," he said.
Murray said Canada's reputation in the global community would be forever altered if it decided to decriminalize pot.
"It's not just Canada's relationship with the United States that would change; it's Canada's relationship with the world," he said.
In fact, many countries, notably in Europe, have already decriminalized marijuana, but none of them share a border with the U.S., where the policy is zero tolerance for smoking pot.
Have a fun wedding this weekend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Also, Canadian laws and regulations intended to protect Canadian citizens and landed immigrants from government intrusion sometimes limit the depth of investigations."
Oh DEAR GOD! Hello... sovereign nation here! No pot for you!
