	Allan Rock vs. Anne McLellan on Marijuana Policy
		Rock, now Industry Minister, said the government should not construct its marijuana policy based on the reaction of the United States or by doctors who don't want to prescribe the drug.
		Rock's policy to contract with a firm to produce large quantities of the drug under government control was an effort to get around the problem of legal users being forced to buy marijuana on the street.
		Rock has raised the issue that his colleague may be bowing, in part, to U.S. drug officials who are opposed to the Canadian government controlling the supply of medicinal marijuana.

	Sinking fast: The gun debacle badly damages Allan Rock's prime ministerial hopes
		Rock objects that his critics are motivated to trash him because of leadership politics.
		Rock's leadership aspirations took enough of a hit with the gun registration, and he was so far back already that nobody needs to worry and sit in a back room to kill him.
		Rock asked the media, "What is the value of 300 lives a year?" Statistics Canada data does show that 1,564 deaths involved firearms in 1989, compared to 1,006 in 1999.

		Rock had no political experience prior to his appointments to the Cabinet, and he is unable to grasp what he can and cannot do as a minister.
		Rock's most recent flops was his enthusiastic undertaking to grow pot on behalf of the government.
		Rock, or, perhaps he saw himself as the "Czar of Pot," as the first step to liberating Canadians to the "joys" of pot, while, oddly, as Minister of Health, ignoring its grave medical complications caused by its use.

	Opinion Story: Allan Rock isn't leader for future - November 19, 1999 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		Rock's comments were aimed specifically at the government of Alberta, whose premier had used a TV address the previous evening to unveil plans to contract some of the province's health care out to private hospitals.
		Rock, no shrinking violet when it comes to his leadership ambitions, just could not resist draping himself in the popular medicare flag.
		Maybe so, but Rock's performance so far tends to show, on the contrary, that he may be a poor candidate for leading Canada into urgently needed and, probably, painful introspection on the future of the country's most cherished social program.

		Rock was forced to eat his words on the Airbus fiasco when the Liberal Government caved in on the courthouse steps just before Mulroney's libel trial was about to begin in Montreal.
		The brave arrogance of Justice Minister Rock, so much on exhibit during the past year when he discussed the upcoming trial, was nowhere in evidence when the Etobicoke dandy was forced to be the Liberal Government's lead man in a grovelling apology to the former Prime Minister.
		Allan Rock in his grovel before the television cameras was no better than the publisher of some muckraking tabloid forced to eat some particularly nasty lies in public.

		Hi Guys, I'd like suggestions concerning the breaking up of large pieces of rock to achieve pieces small enough(3/4"-1 1/2") for tumbling.
		Currently I use a couple of different weight rock hammers and an assortment of chisels depending on the hardness and toughness of the material.
		Haven't tried using a vise cause I don't think I'd be able to control where the rock would break nor could I control the size of the chunks that way.

	Davie Allan and The Arrows: Reviews & Interviews
		Allan manages not only to uphold his raunchy musical tradition, he also injects far more emotion and expression into his playing than the limited garage-rock format has before enjoyed.
		Allan's recent studio album for the label, The Arrow Dynamic Sounds of Davie Allan and the Arrows was a modern classic of the instrumental rock genre.
		Allan's fret ferocity has long been tempered by a genuine love of melody in general and Mancini in particular (no less than three melodic Hank covers here), and it infuses his napalm attack with a lyrical sense and pop economy that should be part of any lead guitarist's course in Common Sense 101.

		After six months of letter written requests for an exemption, Rock would only reply that he was giving Wakeford's desperate plea his "careful attention." Wakeford is now back in the courts, claiming that he is being ignored by the federal government, and that his right to effective medical treatment is being denied.
		On March 5, Allan Rock's spokesman announced that the RCMP had not been instructed to change any of their marijuana policies, and that until the law was actually changed it was still open season on medical pot growers and users.
