Huge opportunity for the Liberal party to get out in Malton. Especially with the realignment of B-G-M. The NDP MPP and Conservative MP will be there. Is anyone from the Liberals going to go?

Thomas,
While I don’t necessarily approve of the excessive amount of blue on the plane either, with respect to the symbol on the side, the use of blue in it is not really arbitrary given that it has been a symbol of the Royal Canadian Air Force used as far back as the Second World War. …[Read more]

I do agree this is not one of the “bigger fish” However, we must also keep in mind there are a lot of smaller issues with how the conservatives handle things which culminate into a larger picture, and a lot of this portrays how we are represented on the world stage and how they are out of touch with Canadian values. I just felt this was another…[Read more]

When I was looking for someone to lead the party, one of the personal traits I have looked for is integrity.
I view this as using Government money to pay for partisan advertising. The action plan ads are also partisan CPC advertising, not government service ads.

Is the CPC honest with, or do they mislead…[Read more]

#election2015 We should never underestimate Harper’s ability to bamboozle the Canadian public. Come 2015 he will: pick a fight with the public service unions, ”balance” the budget BC style, bury the country in negative advertising and who knows what will happen?. We need to be ready and not let him get away with it!

In order to have an opportunity to enjoy a cocktail with Justin you need to have deep pockets. Tickets for the upcoming event in Toronto are $500 (no special treatment for Laurier Club members). However if you are Torontonian willing to drive to Montreal, you can save some money as price of a ticket to a similar event is set to $250 (even better…[Read more]

Or, if you don’t feel like driving to Montreal, you can save $365 by attending the fundraiser for Karen McCrimmon at Grano Restaurant on June 24th. (Tickets available here under Upcoming Events.)

#cannabis
I am a strong believer in legalized recreational cannabis. I believe that, unless the use of a drug can produce results harmful to those around the consumer- such as with alcohol, and regulations on public consumption- there shouldn’t be any regulations. Furthermore, aside from the common and commonly refuted “gateway drug” argument,…[Read more]-
Gateway drug?Ha.Ha.
Marijauna can’t be very good if soon as you smoke it you want to do another drug.
It’s as logical as soon as I drink a beer I crave a coffee.
Tootsie rolls lead to aspirin abuse.
Oh by the way gates open both ways.
I hear marijuana can lead to laughter,a good appetite,and a good nights sleep
and many other naughty and simply…[Read more]-
Hahaha I know this was mostly to mock my argument but I needed to give it a thumbs up anyways.

Legalization is the only option that takes it out of the hands of crime and takes it out of the hands of kids. Legalization creates jobs. Legalization creates a huge tax source. For instance in Washington state they are going to build schools with the tax money from marijuana. Can you imagine a generation of educated drug addicts coming along in…[Read more]
-
I agree with you completely, and as I stated I fully support legalization; unfortunately however, not all Canadians do- a growing percentage yes, but let’s wait for that percentage to get to about 70 before we decide to completely legalize it.
-
Steven there was a poll done about two months ago that showed 66% of Canadians favor legalization. That is pretty close to 70% Steven.
It showed 72% of B.C. favor legalization and only 62% of Quebecers favor it. Still those are good numbers.
I’d say judging by the polls we have the numbers already and the nay sayers are not the majority and…[Read more]-
I find myself agreeing with you again. I don’t believe Stephen Harper or any Conservative can properly lead Canada as Canadians want to be lead- that’s why I’m in this party instead of that one. The 66% statistic is new to me, would you mind sharing the link to that survey?
-
Hi Steven
Type in Ipsos Reid poll marijuana and it comes up. I saw when I checked it out it was for decriminalization and not legalization. Oops but check it out. It shows the trend.
Take care
Gare-
Steven type in nationalpost.com/2012/01/17/t on Google.
This article will have the kinds of numbers I think you will be pleased to see.
Take care

yes for decrimin. that’s why you can’t throw around one survey’s results and say it speaks for all Canadians, most of whom could care less. there is a strong core or those who want it, and a strong core of those who don’t. most Canadians, like everything else we do with the exception of hockey, are somewhere in the middle. harper won’t go…[Read more]
-
We already have a party resolution supporting decrim ( legalize?). Now would be the time that we should pay close attention to the learning curve that is going on south of the border and figure out what is working and what to improve. Take it to the electorate in 2015 and make some tax dollars.
-
Our party policy is to legalize it, which I support but as a political move wouldn’t endorse. The other thing we need to look at, that not many people are paying attention to, is how much the massive underground market for recreational marijuana grows as a result of new stricter regulations regarding medical marijuana.
-
that’s right, the policy put forward by bc and young liberals is to leglaize, which I think, as does steven apparently, is risky politically. decriminalize should be obvious by now by everyone, except the few neo-cons left around. and what’s going on south of the border really is nothing federally, and only in a few states, for personal use. …[Read more]
-
The risk politically might depend on your target demographic. If we are hoping to engage the rather large pool of youthful non voters then cannabis, unfortunately, might be the key to that vote. I say unfortunately because there are many larger and more pressing issues that need attention, but engagement on that issue may lead to engagement, period.
-
Yes, I agree, both with the youth vote, if they are ever to vote at all, and there are more pressing issues, such as the environment and Aboriginal. First Nation huge population growth is something to engage too, and without addressing the volume of scientific knowledge of our environment we are all cooked, in a manner of speaking…weeds and all.
-
You are certainly correct in thinking about potential political risk. Here again we could minimize the risk by intelligently addressing the concerns of more mainstream voters. My personal concerns with weed include: accurate, rapid testing for roadside use, workplace safety (buddy just killed 6 people in Philadelphia high on the job), negative…[Read more]
