National Post: Canada’s utterly failed drug policy

http://natpo.st/kPiomF

"And yet, shockingly, a Conservative Canadian government, which purports to understand capitalism, proposes to re-introduce legislation that would impose mandatory minimum sentences for small-scale marijuana growers. This ridiculous policy seems designed to keep the trade in the hands of criminal lowlifes, who police can then pursue and hopefully catch and prosecute — if there's room in a courtroom and a judge is free some time in the next seven years, that is."

If Liberals and liberals would like to find a new identity for themselves, I suggest they all contact their friends, their professional associations, their riding and / or former ridings, unions, schools, even churches, and start encouraging people to get their picket signs and marching shoes ready for the fall. The only way to stop this omnibus crime bill is to hit the pavement. If Egyptians can do it, so can we.

The "new liberal party" (cause let's face it, the old one died on May 2nd) should get out in front of this issue and make it their policy to end the drug war.
