SUPREME COURT JUSTICES ARE OUT OF TOUCH

A consistent 9 in 10 Canadians polled over the last two years, by a
wide variety of polling firms, object to the current prohibition on
cannabis.

It's amazing that six out of nine Supreme Court justices are so out of
touch with the Canadian public as to rule as they did recently. They
were ruling on the constitutionality of smoking pot; whether it is the
individual's right to consume this recreational drug.

What the ruling says, in layman's terms, is that the government owns
your body. That you do not have the right to make educated choices as
to what you want to do with your own body. It seems that, according to
these appointed judges, the notion of sovereignty does not extend to
the individual.

Are we still serfs?

This is a fundamental question of rights and freedoms for the Canadian
public to answer. The question is; are you comfortable with government
ownership of your body?

Supreme Court deciding that a government's responsibility to regulate
is unconstitutional)
