Marijuana Growers Use Wild Bears to Guard Pot
Two Canadian marijuana growers were using at least 14 wild black bears to guard their crops. The pair had lured the bears onto their property with dog food in an attempt to deter thieves. Fortunately for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police pot bears turn out to be pretty chill. "They were tame, they just sat around watching... at one point one of the bears climbed onto the hood of a police car, sat there for a bit and then jumped off," said
RCMP Sergeant Fred Mansveld.
They were black bears, which are smaller and less agressive. A black bear can climb a tree though, were a brown (grizzly) cannot.

Actually, don't blame America, blame the United States of America. America is a beautiful continent, and all Canadians are as American as all Peruvians and all Cubans, and America had nothing to do with this.
The culprit is the USA, and it's stupid policies, including the way they put their nose in other countries affairs.
WTF am I doing replying to an AC at 5 A.M on a Friday night?
You obviously haven't been paying to international politics recently. Extension of US laws (aka: "harmonisation" or "bringing laws in sync", esp. copyright and drug law) to other countries is part and parcel of negotiations. Often times a country will decide that access to the US as a market for their exports outweighs the consequences of taking onboard more egregious aspects of the US body of law.

Honestly. Do you really believe what you just wrote?
People are people. As soon as you start saying every kind of person with a certain job or nationality is something you stop thinking and start dehumanizing.
Are all stoners whiney spoiled and lazy semi-libertarians who like to talk about their ultimate personal rights but only the part that would let them smoke weed all day, not the part that prevents highways, selling yourself into slavery and common land from existing or people polluting and dumping toxic waste in their backyard? I don't know. The vocal ones seem to be that way but I know some people just have a joint and lead normal lives. A few do it because cancer sucks.
You seem like the ignorant All-Or-Nothing type fighting against "The Man" by wearing a dent in the couch.
Could be wrong about you, just a guess. People are just people. You don't present yourself well in this comment and I haven't bother to look up any others.
Think for real before you type.
If he hadn’t suggested that people who need money should become homosexual prostitutes instead of going into the police/military force, he might have avoided the negative mods. Just a thought.
Are you lost sir?
The United States has the DEA enforcing it's domestic drug policy throughout the world.

Abroad, Cocaine is tolerated and seen as a great resource in South America yet America is killing civilians to thwart a domestic problem?????? A problem that stems from lack of Education, Health care and Poverty

Lets not forget Marc Emery a Canadian politician extradited because of his influence on the pro marijuana movement. He was extradited for selling seeds (which is legal in Canada) via mail to the U.S. unprecedented enforcement of American pollution on Canadian Sovereignty.
...and neither the animals nor the people are a danger to anyone.
I take you don't know much about bears. Bears that become accustomed to people are very dangerous.
