WhyProhibition.ca netfirms outage notice

Submitted by Nicole Seguin on Tue, 03/22/2011 - 3:57pm

Dear WhyProhibition.ca users,

This morning we suffered an outage while our domain name provider, Netfirms Inc was migrating its systems. During the migration, Netfirms failed to transfer our domain's update correctly and accidentally registered WhyProhibition.ca as expired.

I wanted to assure everyone that WhyProhibition.ca has not expired, and we are not going anywhere.

This is entirely a problem at Netfirms, and we contacted them within minutes of the changes being registered. Netfirms was unable to fix the problem in time, and the error has begun propagating throughout the internet. As of now, our traffic has been reduced by 2/3 and we expect the domain error to be fully propagated by tomorrow (at which point WhyProhibition.ca will be entirely inaccessible) Read more »

Medical Marijuana Advocate Michelle Rainey Dies From Cancer

VANCOUVER — One of Canada's most recognizable marijuana crusaders, Michelle Rainey, has died of cancer.
 
Rainey, 39, was one of Canada's most active and established marijuana advocates. She helped establish the B.C. Marijuana Party, and ran as a candidate — touring the province in U.S. President Ronald Reagan's old campaign tour bus, which she nicknamed the "Cannabus."
 
She was also the organizational force behind Prince of Pot Marc Emery's marijuana-based business empire, although their relationship deteriorated and they split after being hit with a 2005 U.S. drug-and-money-laundering indictment.
