THAT CANNABIS DEBATE....

Robert from Bryndwr

It'll be interesting to see how that referendum pans out on the subject of Cannabis.

I am in two minds on the topic; firstly I am going to vote for it but, secondly, I have reservations about the probability of a capitalistic and social incremental creep where big money and big business will, over time, eventually, buy their way with politicians, their political Parties' funding and government. With the ever growing familiarity of the presence of cannabis in our daily lives, they will want to be permitted to advertise their big brand name cannabis product on the jerseys of the All Blacks and on the backs of the Christchurch red buses..... Advertising to young people who will be sold on the idea that they need to get stoned to be socially acceptable; a necessary social lubricant just like alcohol advertising in New Zealand...

DANGER!! DANGER!! DANGER!!
I am a rabid post-grad Political Science student and political proctologist (at UC) and I refuse to take my medication!!! (LOL)

Day light saving started 2 weeks ago and now it’s a good time to do a twice yearly maintenance check on your windows.
Go around and open and close all your windows. Open them fully to the stops and make sure they move freely and seal completely at the top and bottom. If they are stiff, a spray with any spray lube (except the red CRC) on all the pivot joints will help.

Note- if your windows are very stiff don’t force them or you could break them.

Any questions, send us a message!

Have a great day!

James Shaw hits Christchurch, tries his ice cream 'A Shaw High'

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

First it was 'David Smore', and now 'A Shaw High'.

Green Party leader James Shaw visited Christchurch's Rollickin Gelato on Tuesday and followed in the footsteps of his opposition as he sampled a cone of his dedicated ice cream 'A Shaw High'.

Shaw arrived at the Cashel St parlour on a bicycle along with 20 to 30 of his supporters and Green MPs dressed in green, and also on bikes, waving party flags and trying Shaw's ice cream flavour in unison.

The flavour is a pistachio sorbet with almond milk, hemp crumble and brownies. It's dairy free, gluten free and vegan.

Shaw however, unlike his ice cream, was not vegan, he said.

He spoke with supporters about cycleways and e-bikes and said he was a "cone man for sure" when it came to ice cream.

Last month, ACT Party leader David Seymour also enjoyed his flavour 'David Smore' at Rollickin in Christchurch.

The ice cream shop has established itself as a campaign hot spot, with politicians stopping by to try their own uniquely dedicated scoops and spread their party's message.
