A Grade 12 student in Lethbridge, Alta., was suspended last week for dealing Pepsi to fellow students out of his locker.
Keenan Shaw was suspended for two days by Winston Churchill high school for selling the soft drink to students, violating a school policy that only permits diet pop on the premises.
Shaw says he was told the sales violated the nutrition and marketing policies, and that he was operating a business without a licence.
But compared with what some other students sell at the southern Alberta school, Shaw says, his transgressions were minor.
"I'm not going to name any names, but I know a couple of people selling marijuana, there's kids selling smokes, there was a kid last year selling meth, as well as a kid selling acid," said Shaw.
Shaw says he has been told he will be expelled if the pop sales continue.
His mother says she believes the school went a little over the top and that the punishment is too extreme.
When Pepsi is outlawed....
Orwell underestimated ....
Conservatives are stupid if they don’t capitalize on this BS with winning kids over.
Socialists are now “the Man” and the message of individual liberty should resonate with the young, especially the repressed young, as it has for thousands of years.
Tie all of this BS to the socialist Democrat party and do it NOW!
The irony of this is that diet soft drinks are worse for you than the “regular,” and that would be especially true for Canada, where the soft drinks have actual sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup. The orthophosphoric acid is bad in both drinks, but the diet soft drinks, with the aspartame that loves to eat the brain, is worse.
The more laws passed the more “criminals” made.
“dealing” pepsi? Hahahahaha!
Next thing you know glasses and straws will be “paraphernalia”
Mooche is so pleased with this news.
Ding! Ding! Ding! WINNER!
That kid will go far!
I am amazed the poisons people put into their bodies thinking they are actually helping themselves. My body is immediately repulsed by diet anything. It is telling me that is something that should not enter my body. I know people who drink the stuff all day long.
I was just sitting at my computer laughing at this thinking:
After getting busted and in the slammer, this kids cellmate asks: “Whattaya in for kid?”
Kid: “Smuggling Pepsi into high school!”
Thus, is another black marketeer born.
I’ve seen lots of news reports over the years of coke dealers getting busted, but this is the first I’ve heard of pepsi dealers.
Now there’s a boy with a bright future. Well if he doesn’t get arrested and thrown in prison by the PC police.
He should have stuck to selling drugs. It was much safer.
Civil Forfeiture - for running a "Pepsi House" in a residential neighborhood.
