("Case of contempt," Roy Clancy, April 24.) We really must question the nature of democracy in Canada. Some 76% of Canadians no longer believe it is the role of the state to criminalize their brothers, sons and daughters for smoking pot. As for the ceremonial mace lifted by Martin as a gesture of disapproval, it would make a fine asset to the posterior anatomy of the persons responsible for this travesty of democracy.
