GREED KILLS
It is killing the earth, it is killing YOU, it is killing me.
One day the social revolution will happen, and a day of reckoning will then occur to those that were so greedy.
And why not nationalize oil, this would benefit ALL of canada, not just newfy land and a few albertans who get oil checks, considering that ontario for years gave cash out to help other places where was our RETURN on INVESTMENT ( if you wish to be greedy i want my money back , my parents and there parents cash back)
Can you fill us in on the history of convictions? It is one thing for the police to make arrests or seize goods. Are the laws sufficient to actually get convictions?

ENFORCMENT NEEDS OFFICERS
the feds just seem to choose when to do it
its not a thing about legality its ENFORCEMENT
aka having enough officers to do anything
when you get that it will dawn on you proper
reply
its also why drugies arent busted ON MASSE
if htey had 5 million cops in canada they could round em all up
but whose going to pay fo rit
epsecially for a crime where the it takes a lot to as you say do leg work to get a conviction
so ok

see how this works.

whats the real problem?
is it counterfeiting or the fact that the company is so greedy that they create the market for coutnerfeit.
things to think about
