I have begun to believe my mind is full of tiny little topics that act like pimples.

No one can predict the order they start to fester in, or when they’ll get ripe and burst.

Like Minded Loathing but Don’t Judge Harpo Yet!



He’s not finished!

His crimes are still in commission

S’mee again:



Today I got this letter from a like minded person and I agreed with him.
My reply to him follows:

Hi Blaine, I was looking around on your site. Very little on the Mernaugh case. Summit in Columbia in the spring was landmark event. Harper's stance on the war. We need to know our goal. The MMAR is a system set to fail. We need to focus. What we ask for will be fucked by torie bureaucrats. Go for gold. The only thing makes sense is legalization. The war on drugs is way more detrimental to society than marijuana will ever be. Harpo's stance on MJ is stone cold. No democracy. No constitution. Just no! He was in Columbia in the spring while the Mernaugh case was on. A vote on prohibition is a vote to fund organized crime. His stance on grow ops is unreasonable and his facts unsubstantiated. How many fires caused by legal grow ops?  Anyone should be legal to grow 6 plants. Regulation will help keep our children safe and take the demand off illegal grow ops. 'A kid does dope ruins his life or gets caught selling where the market is and his life is destroyed by the war. What is better? Harper doesn't make his stance for money. He is trying to drive the price up so people cannot afford weed. He wants his army. These laws allow him access in anybody house at any time. Billions spent on policing, What will he do with the cops, the dogs and the air traffic?
 The stance that won the Mernagh case was ignorance and safety. This stance is filled by false truths. He sat at the summit where world leaders said it was a myth that marijuana leads to harder drugs, and said in an interview that the problem is that marijuana leads to harder drugs. ???

Like everyone else. I live in fear. The war has taken the life I knew. Victimless crime? The victims are society. Oppression.
Stay strong, be organized. EDUCATE.
Victims of the war
Ron 



Hi back Ron;
I can’t disagree with anything you just said. You’re right about the Mernagh stuff because everybody else is tuned into it and they don’t need reminding. As a matter of fact I’ve decided to simply avoid all the current kerfuffle about the MMAR. They are dead and buried and I don’t care how many current appeals get won they are a waste of time. If Harpo manages to create the intentional bureaucratic snarl up I see coming, starting as soon as the new Regs are official, there will be a whole new decade of lawyer bullshit and screwing patients ahead.

Just as food for thought what if Harper knows exactly what he’s doing? What if Stevie really wants pot legalized so he can pay for his jets and his other screw-ups? Be realistic Ron: that son of a bitch could teach Machiavelli a lesson in two-faced betrayal to get an objective. Legalization would suit him perfectly, he already has half the tokers in the country pushing for it and I think he would love to pull an about face and beg forgiveness and the sucker Canadian public will bend over backwards to re-elect a leader who will admit a mistake in judgement and give in to the will of the people. You know those people: the same goddamn idiots who voted for him the last time.

If you think I’m wrong, consider that from his standpoint. Harpo can’t allow the legalization of pot without total control of the legal supply. What better way to get control than to screw up Medical Marijuana by establishing a rigidly controlled system of production and distribution facilities that are doomed to failure because of the resultant cost of the product. At that point you have to save the mistake of pricing medicine beyond patient reach so you have to come up with some subsidy money to help them. Well, well, well: what do we have here? Why a whole bunch of underutilized Medical Marijuana Commercial Growers with facilities already to expand and burst into the sale of Recreational Drugs at an exorbitant price of a system of ridiculously combined costs: Production, overhead, greed and profit compounded by taxes up the ying yang.

You may think this fantasy or fiction but that is what all the Harpo’s ideas have seemed before he rammed them up our collective arses. He conveniently forgets his lies and BS, I hope Canadians have better memories but he’s already diagnosed Alzheimer’s as the next epidemic to be used as a weapon. Baby Boomers beware, the weasels in the chicken coop!

Brian Carlisle’s Letter to Health Canada



A Letter Well Worth Reading

Today I was sent a link on Facebook to the following letter from Brian Carlisle to the Minister of Health.

He too has a way with words (much more politely than I) but I think he gets his point across to the recipient and I probably just piss them off. I asked for his permission to publish it in my Blog and he agreed. Others besides Friends should see it.

Enjoy a well written request for consideration from a Canadian citizen in need of an affordable Medical Marijuana source. This should have been a petition signed and backed by all of us Licensees instead of a Lone Soldier request for recognition and help. Read on.

Re: Input on MMAR /MMPR proposed changes

Dear Minister of Health,
As a MMAR licensee, and person with permanent disabilities, I am deeply fearful regarding the proposed changes the MMAR /MMPR regulations. Specifically I must protest the issues of out of pocket payment patient cost for the medical marihuana. The current proposals by Health Canada to only allow medical marijuana to be produced for profit, at a price point those producers set, will be unconstitutional and a violation of section 7 and section 12 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms for any patient in my similar circumstance (including my wife Shannon Carlisle) without the financial means to afford their medications in Canada. Especially patients who require large dosages and multiple strains of dosages for their numerous and chronic health symptoms which will result in their inability to any access their prescribed medication under our Canadian system of universal health Care. Any changes made to the Health Canada medical marijuana program must include alternatives to any profit driven system of production to ensure continued medical marihuana access by Canada’s 26,000 + constitutionally legal medical marihuana users.
In the R v Mernagh decision the court found that physicians in
Canada have effectively boycotted the existing medical marijuana program, and therefore the program itself was unconstitutional. Health Canada's response does nothing to address this boycott beyond the promise of making information accessible to physicians. I personally have a team of highly skilled specialists overseeing my care who are also concerned with Health Canada failure to address this issue.
Many Patient and their designated growers have spent thousands of dollars and years of time setting up and or running their production facilities. Many court cases including; Sfetkopolous, Beren and Hitzig have found that denying patient’s production licenses on arbitrary grounds without an adequate effective, MSP covered supply, would continue to violate a patient's constitutional rights to access medical marijuana. In circumstances such as requirements for multiple and or strain specificity any changes to the Health Canada MMAR / medical marijuana program must include the preservation of personal and or designated production.
The proposals by Health
Canada constitute less than a bad faith response to court orders, they represent outright defiance. The current proposals do not meet the needs of medical marijuana patients in Canada, and will result in a further restriction of patient access to medical marijuana. I call upon Health Canada to create a patient expert review committee and widespread stakeholder meetings then return to the drawing board and come up with a constitutionally viable program which Canadians can be proud.
Sincerely,
Brian Carlisle A.A.

The Bias in Health Canada’s Medical Marijuana Data Base


Health Canada Information for Health Care Professionals

 http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/marihuana/med/infoprof-eng.php#a4_6_5

This is presented to the Medical Community as Health Canada’s up to date state of the art information regarding the medical efficacy of cannabis related to various complaints or ailments where its use was indicated. I wanted to determine just how much propaganda rather than factual information was presented.


The information is presented as a list of 30 different symptoms and conditions and Health Canada’s assessment of the Medical Evidence: the response of each, and its variants, to cannabis treatment. These conditions are:

Alzheimer's disease and dementia                        dermatitis, psoriasis, pruritus
Anorexia nervosa                                                     loss of appetite (AIDS and cancer
Anti-neoplastic properties                                      Movement disorders
Asthma                                                                       Multiple sclerosis
Bladder dysfunction                                                 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Cancer pain                                                               spinal cord injury
Dystonia                                                                     Nausea and vomiting
Epilepsy                                                                     Neuropathic pain
Fibromyalgia                                                              Non-cancer pain
Headache                                                                  Parkinson's disease
Huntington's disease                                               Psychiatric disorders
Hypertension                                                            Rheumatoid arthritis
Inflammation                                                              Tourette's syndrome
bowel disease (Crohn's disease, colitis)              Wasting syndrome


For every one of these symptoms or conditions there are studies that usually show an indication or sometimes marked improvement. This is usually negated by sample size, dosage, duration, or mode of application. The fact is that nearly all the research into cannabis effects in the past ten years is directed at determining the effect of the individual components: the cannabinoids. This specificity has severed their applicability when applied to the whole plant i.e. the multiple cannabinoids involved are never administered as the medical “cocktail” they compose when consumed all at once by smoking a joint or eating a hash brownie.

And there the Government leaves us hanging.

What stands out to me and every other knowledgeable person is that they neglect to point out the most important fact of all: the complete absence of negative side effects.

There is not one substantiated linkage of cannabis use as harmful or detrimental to the user in the 4800 year history of its use and abuse. The first recorded use of cannabis as medicine is in Chinese pharmacopoeia in 2727 B.C. To my knowledge and lacking in any literature related to cannabis is there any mention of negative side effects in that 4800 year history. In every part of the world humankind has used cannabis for a wide variety of health problems yet here in Canada we have a Medical Community now balking at being Gatekeepers in the new program. Here goes more argument and negotiation that is simply sheer obstructionism.

Dr. Anna Reid, President of the CMA is opposed on the ground that there aren’t enough long term statistically validated clinical studies and there are too many unknown risks in prescribing marijuana. She apparently believes that 10 years scientific employment and research grants for long term statistically validated clinical studies will provide a better predictor of future risks of marijuana use than what? The complete absence of risk or harm for half the history of civilization is statistically insignificant.

Bullshit! What about the risk of prescribing a drug that has passed all these statistically validated clinical studies? Big Pharma spent millions and millions creating fake THC substitutes named Sativex and Marinol and the Medical community has no qualms about prescribing these as safe. They completely ignore the warnings that go with these drugs and the severity of these potential killers:

Every doctor who prescribes it as Health Canada recommends is violating his Hippocratic Oath to “First, Do no Harm!” and is thrusting his patient directly into Harm’s Way. They have all been exposed to the following extract from a Sativex product monograph regarding possible side effects and their severity and the risks are listed.
Although most of the side effects listed below don't happen very often, they could lead to serious problems if you do not check with your doctor or seek medical attention.
Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:
  • anxiety
  • blurred vision
  • confusion
  • fainting
  • falls, or difficulty with balance
  • hallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there) or strange ideas
  • intoxication (a feeling of being drunk; e.g., difficulty paying attention, dizziness, sleepiness, disorientation, changes in mood, a feeling of unreality, or a feeling of general happiness or a "high," such as easy laughter or heightened awareness)
  • loss of appetite
  • mouth sores
  • rapid heartbeat
  • severe dizziness
  • severe tiredness
  • signs of depression (e.g., poor concentration, changes in weight, changes in sleep, decreased interest in activities, thoughts of suicide)
  • blood in the urine
  • inability to urinate, bladder pain, or abdominal pain
  • signs of a severe allergic reactions (e.g., hives; difficulty breathing; or swelling of the tongue, face, mouth, or throat)
Stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical attention if any of the following occur:
  • blood in the urine
  • inability to urinate, bladder pain, or abdominal pain
  • signs of a severe allergic reactions (e.g., hives; difficulty breathing; or swelling of the tongue, face, mouth, or throat)
Some people may experience side effects other than those listed. Check with your doctor if you notice any symptom that worries you while you are taking this medication.

Now why would I think
the CMA
might have political rather than medical
reason for obstructionism?

It’s that barnyard odour when Anna Reid speaks for the CMA.

Now there’s something to research Lady

What effect does cannabis have on Halitosis?


LOL

A Comment re a Comment



Finally Somebody Noticed!

Today I was please to get a comment from one of the journalists I’ve been taking aim at with my Posts about lousy, incomplete, biased media coverage and journalistic indifference to reality.

This lady had the smarts to realize she’s not the direct target and was kind enough to contribute the following Comment to which I felt compelled to reply following:

Comment From Elizabeth Thompson  ipolitics.ca


Interesting comments on what promises to be a lively debate across Canada. At the risk of letting facts get in the way of a good conspiracy theory, though, the story isn't the result of a PR push by the government - in fact they are probably not thrilled that some of us read the weekly Canada Gazette where they legally have to give notice of proposed regulatory changes. I believe the minister may be planning to formally announce the proposed changes Sunday - giving Canadians a couple of fewer days to voice their opinions during the 75 day period for commenting.

Elizabeth Thompson

PS - the ads pop up on the site randomly. The next time you'll probably get a totally different ad for a totally different group

My Comment in Reply to That


Hello there Elizabeth
Unfortunately you are only the latest in a series of reporters who have managed to gain my attention
Sort of an apology I guess? I appreciate the comment but I just took another look at the link to you and there now is a cry-baby ad for some guy named Tika hovering over your head. You’re somebody’s target my dear. Big Pharma?.

It doesn’t matter what the Government says now, they’ve already set medical marijuana on the back burner until probably after the next election. Their now insistent demand that Doctors be Gatekeepers has guaranteed that the CMA’s opposition as already stated by Dr. A. Reid the CMA President, the number of doctors willing to sign has dried up and now Doctors are the bad guys holding things up and Harpo’s off the hook. I have no doubt this will be followed by series of problems with the awarding of contracts and subsequent bankruptcy’s when no-one will or can’t pay $15/gram for medication.

I am sorry for slapping at you but I just can’t understand why the national media you represent don’t seem to see the big picture or want to know what is wrong? If you think I’m out of touch: where is the answer to my question about legal justification of the mass invasion of medical files with one warrant.

You don’t seem to notice the little details that are there. You have no idea what the answer is and what pisses me off is that none of your compatriot investigative journalists has the curiosity to try to help find out. The only on not afraid to speak his mind is Rex Murphy, god bless him, and I wish I could get him to stick his nose into this. I think he shares my paranoia about our government!

One other little known fact: The cops had advance information and knew exactly what files they were looking for before they even entered Dr. Kamermans office. That is quite obvious from the less than minimum time they took to sort out all the 4000+ files of Medpot applicants out of approx 4800 files in the office. I was informed by a witness that it took only 6 hours from Swat team entry of the office to file removal. I question the human possibility to do that. Allow 1 hour for assault invasion and orientation to the crime scene that leaves

4800 files with 20 cops nosing through them equals 240 per cop with 5 hrs to examine them equals 75 seconds per file of uninterrupted sequencing, no Tim Horton’s, or barley sandwiches no breaks at all. I have a background that at one time involved Time and Motion study and that is simply beyond reality. 

The fact that a number of cops at the scene were outside creating the law enforcement spectacle they wanted, or had been sent away because they would just get in the way. The half dozen guys left, armed with the computer lists and CD’s with top secret information diverted illegally from Health Canada’s files had no problem in probably doing it in half the time. The other half spent packing them up, donuts, coffee and finally carting them off.

I realize I’m not being very nice and I don’t really give a damn. If you feel offended or misjudged, do something to prove me wrong. In the mean time you’re part of those who I think are failing to honour a journalist’s responsibility to observe the same oath as that sworn by Dr. Kamermans “First do no harm!” before you shoot your mouth off. He could not turn his back on the harm being done by 67000 other Canadian doctors and once started it snowballed.

I don’t know how yet but I intend to try to wake up every Canadian voter to the reality of what a deceptive vindictive bunch of Harper sycophants we have in office. If that means giving the national media a good hard poke in the ass with a sharp stick to interrupt their daydreams so be it. I don’t know when but there’s another one due.

You’re safe now Elizabeth I’ve got other targets to attend to
Best regards

More Health Canada Manipulated Media Bull!




Or

How Much News Can Big Pharma Buy?

S’mee again:
Friday, December 14, 2012

Today I got a Google alert. I got all excited at the prospect of finding out what future plans Health Canada has for Medical Marijuana they announced today.
I got a rude goddamn awakening, it’s f**king near propaganda


I clicked on a link to the author I should warn you that if you hover over the banner ad above her picture and decide to watch, you get a straight sob story by a young man suffering from neurological pain. He ends his tale with a plea for a miracle drug to be developed. I guess it’s just common sense to assume that the answer is going to come from
Canada’s Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies 
  who paid for the nasty little pop-out.

Hardly one thing noted in this whole article is news. Most of it has been bitched about over and over in this Blog ever since I began it last Christmas.  What makes it more interesting is that it seems to be a real PR push by the Harper Crew! A virtually identical article just popped up on 680News site! And at least 20 other papers-Coast to Coast,
It starts out stating the intention and purpose of the changes to the MMAR as being:
  1. Make it easier to obtain by patients?
  2. Provide more options re Physician support?
  3. Result in an insignificant price increase?
Three Lies or Distortions of the truth to start off with
1.      The new system will result in prices that will be out of reach to the majority of those who need it
2.       They just destroyed 99% of any chance of finding a Practitioner since they are now in the process of victimizing Dr. Rob Kamermans for simply signing applications! A very effective deterrent.
3.      Any reduction in the cost of running the program is simply transferred back to the buyer who can’t afford the price now. Note the departure to fantasy with the knowledge that the current price of pot is between $1.80/g and $5/g. Dreamers!
The next departure from reality is the list of risks that currently exist. This I believe was a plagiarized version of Len Garis justification for Surrey’s Prohibitive Insurmountable By-laws.

They once more stress the doctors they just scared sh*tless are supposed to now be supportive.

They conclude the article with a sketchy list of the overhead burden Government Regulatory Compliance Costs but to this add the profit motive and greed of the approved contractors plus a ridiculous tax like the 25% Washington proposition. I see a price level well above the $10 high quality price now current. Where the hell did that $1.80/g come from?


What do you make of this article? Tepid media coverage?
I make it almost the temp of a good stream of urine!
Lukewarm at best.

Why would I make a stupid analogy like that?

Because it’s not stupid!

Think Creatively!
They both result in empty cavities!
One your bladder the other your brain!
There is no input of knowledge at all from the article!
It’s a rote recital of lies
I was right at the start.
 It’s
Propaganda!

Until next time

Just One Simple Question I asked my MP


I Couldn’t Get Answers from Anyone in Power!

 Maybe my MP can ask for me?
What the hell.
I’ve got nothing to lose- So I asked him today

My Letter to My MP.

Subject: Violations of Medical Confidentiality



To: The Honourable Jasbir Sandhu Member of Parliament: Surrey North
                                                        
Cc: The Honourable Daryl Kramp          Member of Parliament: Prince Edwards- Hastings

From: Blaine Barrett, 10202-149St, Surrey, BC V3R 3Z8

Re: The seizure, retention and invasion of Dr. Rob Kamermans Medical Files.

Dear Mr. Sandhu:
Earlier this year I had the pleasure of meeting you at your constituency office, and introduced myself as a Medical Marijuana Advocate. I wanted to find out how much you knew about the problems Licensees were facing with the revision of the Marihuana Medical Access Regulations underway. I can’t say I was overly impressed but here’s a chance to redeem yourself in the eyes of a whole bunch of sick people who need help.

In addition to being a MM advocate I am also a Licensee of the MMAP. As such, I feel that the personal Private information contained in my Medical File is under threat of invasion by the Harper Government. If the Kamermans seizure is allowed to go unchallenged it will set an abominable precedent for a police state.

Jan 26 of this year, a combined SWAT team of RCMP and OPP stormed the office of Dr. Rob Kamermans in Coe Hill, Ontario, arrested him, then seized and removed 4000+ Confidential Medical Records for later examination. They performed this mass invasion of privacy in complete violation of what I understood the law to be regarding third party access to a patient file.

I have checked the Policy positions of both the Canadian Medical Association and the College of Physicians of Ontario regarding Confidentiality of Patient files. Both of these Policies stress that disclosure of the contents is only by reason of medical necessity as determined by the Physician, but Third Party Access is only permitted on the basis of a warrant for that file.

I want to know what Statute, Law or Regulation justifies such a mass seizure on the basis of a single warrant related to only the Doctor’s conduct. There is no linkage between conduct and patient file contents unless the conduct is that of the patient, not the Doctor.

I have requested the same information from Federal and Provincial Privacy Agencies, the CMA, the CPSO, Justice, Canadian Defence Lawyers, the RCMP and the OPP. Most won’t even acknowledge receipt much less attempt to answer.
I realize you won’t have the answer at your fingertips which is why I copied The Honourable Daryl Kramp, the Harper Government member for Prince Edwards-Hastings. Perhaps he can throw light on the matter but somehow I think it’s another “No Comment” question for him.

 It is his government persecuting Dr. Kamermans, a respected physician and one of his constituents, in his constituency. Mr. Kramp hasn’t even commented and the SWAT team tactics of the local OPP bullies have got nearly all Coe Hill residents living in a state of fear.

I have managed to contact a number of local residents who support the Doctor, the Wallaston Township Council among them. They all smell something rotten, are appalled at the treatment accorded him, but are a afraid to comment for fear of reprisals. Maybe you can ask him in Question Period to see if skulduggery is involved? If there is I’ll make his constituents aware of it, I promise. It seems they are now living in a police state and they don’t much like it.

Thank you for your time and consideration. All I want to know is the legal grounds that can justify such an action. Are mine and all other Canadians secrets and privacy secure in our Medical Files or must we now keep secrets from our doctor and jeopardize our medical treatment?

In anticipation of your response
Best regards

A Rotten Conspiracy: How They Set up Dr. Rob Kamermans


Physician to Felon in One Fell Swoop

The Theory

Big Pharma decided to stop Marijuana Legalization.
Kamermans is simply ``Collateral Damage``

You may not agree
but
You will have to admit there’s a Baad smell here.


It involves all the Power players:

It all began in The Corporate offices of the Worlds Pharmaceutical Companies - one of the largest assemblages of power in history: A cooperating conglomerate of International Corporations who wield more money than half the Governments in UN. That is the reality of the foremost opponent of the legalization of Marijuana. They wouldn’t even be interested if it was just an effective Addictive Recreational Drug and was only a competitor to alcohol and Tobacco. Unfortunately drug sales will plummet with legalization because Pot is cheap!

Lobbyists are contacted and the objectives outlined- these are highly paid slime balls who will work for any body willing to pay big bucks for bullshit and bribes. They’ve got some of the best liars in the world and their business is to cultivate MP’s and high level bureaucrats: attempt to establish a “You scratch my ass and I’ll kiss yours” relationship. It’s designed to create the exchange of Favours: money and influence; then the hints start.

The Government: Every Member of Parliament who is subjected to their deceptive approach, sooner or later realizes that there is one great big in hook in their friendship. If he doesn’t play the game: Any large contribution to his re-election campaign is simply chicken change to the big boys. They could switch it from his campaign to that of his opponent at the snap of somebody’s fingers. All he has to do apply a little pressure on his boss.

The Prime Minister’s Office suddenly gets a whole raft of complaints from his caucus of Harpocrits complaining there is problem with this marijuana legalization thing. Somehow it has to be ended and we have to control grow ops and the unknown costs and possible medical consequences. The Member is now playing the game. He is fully aware that there is another level of Lobbyist who deals with international relations. These guys are like Secretaries of State for big Pharma. They flit around the globe and lobby the Big Boys: the Presidents, the Prime Ministers, the Dictators (no matter their record while in power) and the top levels advisors are all targets for a little friendly get together and chit chat.

Every MP who plays the game knows the PM Stewey (short for Stupid) Barker is already clued in and he’s interested but, before he commits he’s already told his advisor to marshal his troops and prime the pump: subtly blackmail the caucus into support. No problem, money talks. That being accomplished, he decides to please his benefactors and retain their support by simply stalling legalization until after the next election, Stu now calls in the appropriate members of his cabinet to help him pull off and conceal what turns out to be a massive illegal  intrusion into the personal privacy of a couple of thousand medical patients.

Stewey first called in Fiona Advocaat: Minister of Health, for advice. The boys at the helm of this obstruction of Legalization had indicated that the Medical Marijuana aspect of this problem merited particular attention, so Stewie just gave her a cloud of bullshit as justification and asked if there was some way to sabotage the Program and dodge responsibility for its failure.

Fiona is delighted. She has no reason to object to its loss: The Marihuana Medical Access Program has been a pain in her ass ever since she got the damned thing. She already had her answer ready. “Create a deterrent that will stop all doctors from approving Applications”!

Finding a doctor to sign their Application for Medical Marijuana had already become the biggest obstacle facing any applicant. Doctors faced vague Regulations, legal uncertainty, a possible risk of liability and the perceived disapproval of the Canadian Medical Association. The large majority of physicians were already unwilling to jeopardize their future by signing. All that had to be done was set an example of one of the physicians who was willing to take the risk. All we need is somebody to crucify: But who and how to do it? She got to work.

Selecting a victim was easy. All they did was go to the Top Secret data bank, Ranked the physicians in order of number of applications signed.

Then they just about crapped.

“Jesus Christ, Look how many he wrote!”

Not many doctors signed more than a half dozen applications but this guy signed hundreds. Find out who he is and how we can get at him. Get in touch with the local cops in this Coe Hill, never heard of it, and see what they know about this Doctor. Is he vulnerable?

Fiona told Stewey: Let me do some work, I’ve got a perfect manager in mind, my Deputy Minister Slenda Grates. She’s got hooks into the whole Medical Community and she slings spin with the best of them. She can sell this to the CMA.

Stewey now calls in his best connivers and conspirators for advice:

  1. Rab Snickerson: Minister of Justice for his skill in controlling legal shit and
  2. Sick Nose: Minister of Public Safety for his expertise Privacy and Lies 

Stewie tells them he needs to destroy a doctor who advocates Medical Marijuana and has signed hundreds of applications but there’s a problem: he hasn’t done anything wrong. We’d love to look in all those files, the names, locations, every municipality in Canada wants grow-op location and we could throw them all a bone but all those files are Medical Files and Confidential. How can we get into them?

Nickerson immediately replied, “if we don’t say what we did there’s no problem. Simple invasion of privacy; Sick knows all about that. Even if we’re caught and sued we can stall until hell freezes over or simply do the Sick Nose thing about privacy, plead guilty and stupid, apologise, return the files, pay off the patients and it’s over. In the meantime it’s all digitalized and we can make as many copies of all the personal crap as we want. I don’t see much of a problem if we all keep our mouths shut like G20. It will be over and behind us in no time.

Minister of Public Safety Sick Nose interrupted: “The Cops are no problem. They love overtime, bully boy games and they keep their mouth shut. All we have to do is say OK, boys, here we go again. We would like you RCMP and the OPP to work together and pull a repeat of G8/20 tactics and ensure complete silence about it. We’ve got a big problem if this legalization goes through and so do you: Job Security and Staff cuts!
There’s a Doctor out in the bush north of Belleville who is a major concern because of the number of applications he’s signed for Medical Marijuana and he’s got to go.

For the time being we want you to just lay the groundwork. Set him up. Have your professional snoops dig up enough dirt to support any criminal charge related to trafficking or any other drug related charge. The evidence doesn’t have to be that good just lots of it: allegations from tokers, dealers, growers, photo’s, receipts, or plain bullshit. Follow him for a couple of months and build up a fat file. When it’s big enough we’ll take it to some lazy ass judge who will just look at the size of the file, not what it contains, and sign a warrant. That will get you a legal search warrant for his medical records. Take a SWAT Team for combined drug squads and arrest this Doctor. Storm his office, arrest him, take his files and then refuse to say another goddamn word to anybody except badmouth him. We’ll tell you when.

We’ll take care of all the stuff we want for evidence and you guy can have unlimited access to his files for as long as you want. You can record the identities of every Medical Marijuana patient he OK’d, names, addresses, where they were going to grow their crops and details of their illnesses, all open to nose around and distort and snicker over.

Sick Nose didn’t bother to tell them they are going to commit a crime. It’s a legal warrant for the Doctors’ Records but not for the contents. These are separate private files each of which requires a warrant and just cause. No big deal. Oops, It’s just an honest mistake, we did it, we apologize, end of problem. So how do we keep the lid on Mr. Press Secretary?

Press Secretary:  I don’t think that will be too much problem, I checked him out before I came and he’s got a record of wandering all over the place  and he’s a do gooder but he never stays long and he’s a little weird. We are extremely fortunate in having him living out in the boondocks. If he was in a major city like Toronto or Vancouver he’d be well known and you’d have a couple of thousand stoners screaming and near riots. Coe Hill is at the end of nowhere and news coverage is limited to one small area with no population to speak of: a narrow strip of nothing north of Belleville to just North of Bancroft. There’s only one local paper that nobody reads and we can easily seal it off from the national news scene.
A few hints all the major Media News networks, Paper or air, that their access to all Barker Government news would all be second hand and that a huge part their medical related advertising could vanish will suffice to keep them in line.

We don’t think the old guy will pose much of a problem; he’s over retirement age he’s just made a pisspot full of money with all those applications. He’ll just sit it out until he gets in front of a judge and talks his way out of it, and that can be remanded ad infinitum. Then he gets off and we get shit. Big deal! I’ve got broad shoulders and that could buy us a couple of years.

Prime Minister Stewey Barker said: Only one problem remains: Medical Confidentiality and that is being taken care of. The Medical Communities Milk Cow is getting sick. All of the money connected to research related to pharmaceutical company’s benevolent auspices as well as all the gratuities and thank you’s handed out to physicians at large by Sales Reps was in peril. There was a hand on the tap handle. The CMA can’t oppose the damage to their membership and they’ll swing into line. It’s just a question of whether they’ll just agree to ignore the problem and if the reward is enough help support us by condemning this Criminal Behaviour.

Prime Minister Barker smiled and said “I think it’s a done deal. Get it moving. I’ll let you know when it’s time”.

January 26, 2012 somebody pushed the start button and the SWAT team stormed Dr. Kamermans Office.

They made a serious mistake.
They don’t know the man they picked to victimize.
 I Do!
&
I’m going to tell you about the man they are sacrificing.

Soon!
