Schmidt continued, “Results from a recent survey compiled by the University of Liverpool show that those who scored as being more “emotionally stable” on a personality test were less likely to be bitten by a dog.

The research could have consequences for anyone who has ever cowered in the presence of a dog, even if they may not be able to control their emotional responses enough to avoid being bitten. 

Experts say that although a dog’s reason for becoming excited or upset may be hard to pinpoint, the actions that follow will most likely depend on how a person responds to the animal.”

“Investors’ collective high over Canada’s burgeoning marijuana industry has evaporated, to be replaced by a comedown,” wrote Jen Skerritt for Bloomberg News published on The Globe and Mail on February 2, 2018.

Skerritt continued, “Marijuana stocks tumbled Friday amid a wave of “panic-selling” and concern that companies that had seen ballooning share prices recently are now overvalued. The BI Canada Cannabis Index plunged as much as 19 per cent, its biggest intraday drop on record, while the nation’s largest producers including Canopy Growth Corp. and Aurora Cannabis Inc. tumbled more than 40 per cent from their January highs.”
