WE DON'T NEED HELP FROM U.S. ON DRUGS

Re: U.S. offers help with anti-drug campaign

So after much bluster and fuming about trade tie-ups, Washington now wants 
to "help" Canada kick-start an anti-marijuana propaganda campaign?

U.S. drug czar John Walters says he "tried to be helpful in private with 
Canadian officials." What he doesn't mention is that he would only agree to 
meet with the Senate committee studying the cannabis issue "in camera," 
presumably because the Senators' questioning of his logic on the issue 
would be highly embarrassing.

The Senate, of course, concluded that legalization, not decriminalization, 
would be the best route for Canada.
