A law that allows invasive and inconclusive drug testing for drivers suspected of impairment has no place in a free and open society. We're watching the slow insidious rise of a narco-police state. People are being led by the nose by liars in politics who will sacrifice any civil liberties for their brand of social order. The current puppet government wants to spend $20,000,000,000 on prisons when the overall crime rate has been going down since 1992.Meanwhile, arrests for Cannabis are at an all-time high. Cannabis is Earth's best medicine, but governments for decades have kept it illegal for the benefit of the corporate elite.Denial is the most powerful coping mechanism. So while a gullible public will believe their best interest is being served, what is really happening is we are all losing freedom and rights.The roots of the word government mean to control the mind. People get the government they deserve. Bruce Codere Fox Creek, Alberta - --- MAP posted-by: Keith Brilhart
