CAUCHON SHOULD RESIGN
So Martin Cauchon, the Minister of Justice, has cheerfully admitted that
"of course" he smoked marijuana when he was younger.
Disregard for a moment the legality of the act; for me, this is about some
people flouting the rules that everyone is supposed to follow, and still
making good.
It's astonishing that as the minister in charge of upholding the laws of
the country, he can not only admit that he may have contravened the law,
but he permits himself to imply it was a perfectly natural thing to do.
Is there anyone else who thinks this is an absurd situation and that he
should be forced to resign?
