CANADIANS ARE ABSOLUTELY AGAINST DECRIMINALIZATION
There are more drug dealers than Tim Horton's in Canada. I'm sure this week
a sophisticated and well-financed network of criminals is cheering for our
prime minister. The government is moving forward even when they know the
majority of Canadians are absolutely against decriminalization of marijuana.
This Liberal government knows it's wrong and that is why they have been
advised to sell this legislation with language like "alternative penalties"
and "sentencing reform."
Instead of fighting the war on drugs, our federal government has chosen to
go over to the other side. I only wonder, have we come to the point where
organized crime has bought the government of Canada?

(Apart from the fact our government couldn't possibly be connected with
anyone organized, they've instituted stiffer penalties for big dealers --
we don't think organized crime can like that)
