Considering it's legal in Canada and that's the standard Canadians now live by, imo he's done nothing wrong.

Perhaps but this isn't on Canadian soil...

Quebec billionaire and Cirque du Soleil co-founder Guy Laliberté has been detained for growing cannabis on his private island in French Polynesia.

That's a dangerous attitude to take when you're in another country and even more dangerous if you extend it to visitors from other countries coming here.

Imagine this guy was the owner and this was the biggest "scandal" we had to worry about? Where do I sign.

100% agree just concerned being in jail/ convicted could effect him being a viable new owner


****thanks mods for moving stuff over

Even if he is not convicted, this could make him inadmissible to the united states. Not sure that's viable for an NHL team owner.

Why is it always the criminals that are interested in buying my favourite team?

I think fans should have a say in any future ownership inquiries.

I really wish the fans could buy the team like green bay

Agree with both of you that it's at his own risk and you pay the consequences by taking chances in foreign countries. I just meant from a moral standpoint of Canadians, he's done nothing wrong really.

This seems like a situation you avoid by buying people off in advance - but maybe my binge watching of The Shield is misguiding me.

A brown paper bag full of cash and this will all be swept under the rug.

Is it? They legalised controlled sale, possession, but as far as I know you're still not allowed to grow it. Do correct me if I'm wrong though

In Canada, you can grow 4 plants per home

You're allowed to grow up to 4 plants per household. For personal use, obviously

Guys like him get waivers. Don't worry about it.

OK, cool, did not know that. Though from the term "plantations" in the article it sounds like he miiight have had more than 4 plants.

Ya 4 plants is legal as was brought up by a few others.

I hear you, but either way, it's been established that Cannabis is nothing to be concerned about morally anymore and is just held back by archaic laws in other countries.

Gotta obey the laws .. Pretty stupid on his part.

Must smoking too much.
