Re. the Liberals' crime platform. Well, it should be clear to everyone by now that Stephane Dion and his Liberal cronies are just as much of a bunch of charlatans as the Tories are. Instead of calling for the legalization and regulation of all drugs, both parties promise to spend more taxpayers' dollars to finance drug prohibition. This, as all science and history on the subject has shown, is incredibly expensive, counterproductive, dangerous, and only serves to further subsidize organized crime and spread disease. This is not an opinion, it is a historically and scientifically proven fact. But, undaunted by science, history, or facts, both the Liberals and the Conservatives are promising more cops, more jails, more curtailing of civil rights and liberties, more young Canadians with criminal records, and more wasted efforts. Unencumbered by common sense or critical thinking, most Canadian voters are simply begging for more! How anyone can be stupid enough to vote for either one of these parties is beyond me. The two parties are competing for the opportunity to treat us all like children, and then bill us for the service. As for a "leader" who tries to portray himself as "progressive" and not a follower of George W. Bush, Dion just fell flat on his face. But why is he doing it? Oh, right - so he doesn't look like a wimp compared to the big, tough scary bully named Stephen Harper. He has to look "tough" on a non-existent "increase of crime" that has been hyped by the media. Dion is a moron. Canada is doomed. Russell Barth, Federal Medical, Marijuana Licence Holder, Ottawa - --- MAP posted-by: Derek
