DECRIMINALIZATION BAD
There are more drug dealers than Tim Hortons 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 it knows the majority of
Canadians are absolutely against decriminalization of marijuana.
This Liberal government knows it's wrong, and that's why it's 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 if we come to the point where organized crime has bought the
government of Canada.

(Aren't you confusing decriminalization of a few grams with total legalization?)
