UBCM RESOLUTIONS ARE MERELY SUGGESTIONS

Controversial decisions such as a couple made lately should serve to 
raise some eyebrows.

Decriminalization of marijuana and an attempt to prevent any 
expansion of tanker traffic along the coast are nothing more than suggestions.

Marijuana is illegal according to Canadian federal law, and 
attempting to stop or obstruct a neighbouring province's exports will 
be struck down as unconstitutional, no doubt.

The federation could not function at all if junior governments could 
disrupt trade and commerce.
