NEW NATIONAL POLICE GROUP TO FLEX POWER OVER DRUG LAWS
A new national police organization that is meeting for the first time this
week wants to stop Ottawa from softening Canada's marijuana laws.
The new 54,000-member Canadian Professional Police Association plans to use
its increased clout to persuade federal politicians that loosening the laws
is the wrong tack to take in the battle for the street, said president Tony
Cannavino.
"The marijuana issue is very important," the former head of the Quebec
Provincial Police Officers Association said yesterday.
