WAR ON DRUGS KEEPS ROLLING

Keith Martin is right. We really must question the nature of democracy in
Canada when 76 per cent of Canadians no longer believe it is the role of
the state to criminalize their brothers and sisters for smoking pot, yet
the Liberals wish to keep the Dante's Inferno called the war on drugs going
full-throttle (NOW, April 18-24).

Maybe our new social reality requires a prime minister who's a little more
able to deal with the fact that in a democracy you only have criminal law
that is supported by the people.
