Marc Emery turned himself in to BC Supreme Court today to await extradition to the United States on a charge of conspiracy to manufacture marijuana.

In this photo, taken last week, Vancouver’s self-proclaimed “Prince of Pot”, Mr. Emery meets and greets well-wishers at his last support rally before turning himself in to Canadian authorities.

I love the bling.

Somebody dear to me has gone to Toronto for the weekend and in making some random restaurant recommendations I was reminded of Island Foods and this photo I made following Caribana and the trek up to King street for a taste of some sweet island goodness.

Some years ago I was fortunate enough to work across the street and they were by far the best eats in the neighbourhood and quite possibly the best roti in the city. That, and the family that runs it are lovely to boot!
