Just What Canada Needs - More "Criminals"


There was never a chance that our born again android, make that "leader", was ever going to decriminalize pot possession. Canada's cops got the Harpo message and are busting kids for pot just like the old days, introducing thousands of kids to life with a criminal record. After all, marijuana is much more dangerous and societally damaging than, say, alcohol. Wait, no it isn't, sorry.

A buddy of mine recently retired after a full career as a cop in a relatively upscale US community. He liked to tell how he'd dealt with all sorts of domestic violence, including a number of murders, where a bottle of Jim Beam would be front and centre, lying empty on a table and yet he'd never been involved with a violent crime resulting from someone smoking pot.

You go Steve! Canada needs more criminals.
