WELL DONE, SUN!

Well, I have to hand it to Sun Media for the excellent job it is doing in 
what is called real journalism! Canada has long been in need of a public, 
national debate over our unjust, expensive and obsolete laws of marijuana 
prohibition.

Reporter Jason Botchford in particular covered a wealth of information.

My hope is more Canadians will become better informed and understand these 
issues.

With good writing comes passion and empathy -- that place in the heart 
where ignorance and apathy strike out. I tip my baseball cap to your Sun 
Media series, a grand-slam if I ever saw one. It looks like we may be in 
the ninth inning, at that.

David d'Apollonia, Calgary

(Thanks, but don't get overly optimistic.)
