Apparently, the Canadian government has decided to become a drug dealer.

Meanwhile, a packet of 30 seeds from the federal government will cost $20 and dried pot will cost $5 a gram.

According to the RCMP, the street price of the drug varies from $10 to $25 a gram, Cripps-Prawak said.

“We did not try to be competitive with the black market,” she said. “What we did try to do is establish a price which is reasonable, based on costs associated with the production and implementation of the program.”

The marijuana will come from an underground lab in Flin Flon, Man., where the government is growing the plant for research into its medicinal use.

The ‘underground’ lab part makes it sound pretty shifty, but it’s the truth… the lab is in an abandoned mine. And, “We did not try to be competitive with the black market,” that’s pure gold.

Estonian wife carriers have won the international wife-carrying championship for the sixth year in a row. The grand prize is the woman’s weight in beer, approximately 45 litres of ale.

One week of camp down, seven left to go. Last week was kindergarten to grade 3, it’ll be the same this week. The highlight probably had to be one of the kids in my group on our trip to the zoo. One of the kids in my group had a really whiny high-pitch voice, but he was well-mannered and easy to look after.

We were at a fence in front of the lion’s cage, and he had his head down inbetween the bars, looking at the cage. Me and Michael here him say, “Excuse me, Excuse me.”, in his whiny high-pitch voice. Michael looks down at him and says, “Is your head stuck between the bars?” He says, “Yes.” in the whiny high-pitch voice, and kind of trailing off. It might not come out so well without the live imitation of the voice, but it was really cute and funny. His head wasn’t really stuck, he just misjudged it a bit because his hat was pretty thick.
