Bad News for Canada.

boo hoo conservatives, we still will remain barely ever running into pigs, selling pot in mass quantitys etc; Just cuz the laws change doesnt mean people are gonna get caught left and right. and I doubt prices will double.

 

nah it's way more then that, theres like 2.5 in Vancouver alone


anyways...i'm hardly concerned, even with liberals at a Majority government, they couldnt get anything passed either way, so the conservatives aint gonna be able to pass shit when they only have a very small percentage of seats more than the liberals.

Really, laws and shit are alot more provincial anyways, so i'm not worried 1 bit

i barely even smoke anymore so wtf lol

I think he'll be fine, I'm donating my Ralph bucks to him

You all are sketching out for no reason, as was said he only has a minority, therefore a bill making stiffer penalties for cannabis would for sure get voted down, almost every other party in the canadian parliament supports decrim...
Don't worry about it.

 

From the microphone came a question for the candidates that had nothing to do with health or education or the Constitution or guns: "Where do you stand on the legalization of marijuana?"

All seven candidates in the riding of Trinity-Spadina, seated at a long table at the front of the lecture hall at the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre on Bloor St. W. last week, smiled as the more than 300 residents in the packed room suddenly sat up with new interest.

So, legalizing pot, eh?

The first to answer was John Riddell, a white-haired gentleman running for the Canadian Action Party, whose day job is superintendent of a highrise. The audience hushed as he leaned back in his chair, looked upward and replied with a slight grin, "I don't think I'd have a problem with that."

Laughter. Cheers.

Next was Nick Lin, running for the Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada, making his fourth attempt for political office.

Clearing his throat, he replied, "I don't think it's appropriate for the state to interfere in individual lives."

The crowd went wild. "The Communist party? Holy cow!" someone in the second row exclaimed with glee.

Next up was the Liberals' Tony Ianno, defending his seat in the riding. He mentioned his support for his party's proposed decriminalization of marijuana, then added something about how pot would obviously become an alternative to drinking, so we'd have to figure out "how to ensure if people are smoking that they're driving safely."

People looked at each other aghast. Did we hear right? Things were certainly looking good.

Next was Asif Hossain, candidate for the Progressive Canadian Party and a student at the University of Toronto.

Hossain leaned forward and declared with a grin, "As the youngest candidate in the room, you might assume that I smoke all the time." Cheers, applause. "But I don't." That being said, he added that he believes in civil liberties, so bring it on.

More applause, hoots.

Suddenly, the mood in the room turned dark as Conservative candidate Sam Goldstein, seething in his seat, took his turn. Pointing a menacing finger at the crowd, he chastised them for wanting candidates to control gun crime in their city, while wanting to legalize a drug that was causing the gang warfare on their streets.

"You are supporting gang violence in this city!" he roared. The crowd erupted in anger, shaking their fists as he continued to vent his disgust.

The moderator banged on the podium to stop the commotion and finally the next candidate, the New Democratic Party's Olivia Chow, was able to speak.

"Well," she said. "I'm surprised it has taken so long and still nothing has been done."

More applause.

Finally, the seventh and final candidate was able to speak — Thom Chapman of the Green party, a young man who plays chess in his spare time.

The room waited in silence and then he said, "I'm sorry, I forgot the question."

He got the biggest laugh of all.

 

lol is that true or is it a story???

 

Who cares?

LIKE I SAID

Here's a quote from a letter to the CBC

"That's always scary if you disagree with someone's policies. All this talk about a hidden right wing agenda though? Please. If Mr. Harper stays true to his word and allows non-partisan voting on issues of morality, then the Canadian people will truly get what they ask for. What's so scary about that?

—Shane Giofu | Saskatoon, SK"

With citizen initiatives, you'd be able to put forth a bill saying you want it legalized, and watch the free vote on same make it happen.

GO CONSERVATIVES
