She promotes legalization of marijuana, which is clearly a rational approach. Consider cost savings in policing, court appearances and prison time for use of a substance questionably less damaging than alcohol, and certainly less tied to violent offences. Alas, despite the evidence, and the wishes of Central and South American leaders, it is unlikely our Prime Minister will accept the obvious, and change Canada's approach to pot.
