Either. The total math geek civvers who work everything out, have stat charts and accumulate points are obviously BsCiv or BEngCiv. Those who construct stories and the like are obviously BACiv.

West Point gives Engineering degrees, so the pointy stick guys get Engineering degrees. The Builders get Archtecture degrees, the rest of us (there must be a few) get Business Administration degrees. You think managing all that money and resources isn't a business? Maybe if you are a snob, a degree in economics.

UBC is also one of the few universities in the world where smoking marijuana is a requisite.

Ill stay in my home province, I like it a bit better, even if the weather is so insane it could make your head spin.

The Pacific coast, from northern California to southern Alaska (not including the Alaska islands) enjoys (if that is the right word) pretty much the same climate, in terms of rainfall and very generally temperature (The Japanese Current affects this terrain for both rainfall and temperature. It is far more important what the Pacific brings us that what its like at the North Pole (with certian infrequent (thank god) exceptions. We do get snow, but its mostly at higher elevations. Think ski.

Yeah, but my northwest friend, as you know, the really nice bits are sheltered from the pacific by mountains; Victoria and the Gulf Islands/Juan De Fucas are 40% drier than the poor bastards on the landward side of the straits and the seaward side of the coast.

With the weed, it's not so much a separate major as it is a co-op component that finds its way into every course. so, more like:

Course Title: History300: Napoleon, Marijuana and the French Revolution
Prerequisite: Polisci 250, Weed and the Modern State
Corequisite: History200 (Industrial Innovation and the Invention of "BC Gold;" Survey Course)
Students must complete at least two (2) hotboxed evening seminar discussions outside the classroom on the course topic and any other subject that comes to mind.
Note, this course is required to complete the MJ degree.

Course Title: Psych 450 (Seminar): Research Methods and Herb in Modern Psych Study
Prerequisite: Weed production (hydroponic method)
Corequisite: Soc 200 or better

Is it true that weed affects your hearing, which is why
Canadians say Eh? all the time?

 

[Richard III]

No, but the consensus amongst regular BC weed consumers I knew was that it does affect your, um,

well, let's not get into that.

I, of course, would have no idea, since I've never touched the stuff . That would be against the law, and if I did, then the local mounties might have confiscated mine and kept it for themselves
