GEARED TO FEAR

Re Health Minister 'Outraged' By SCOC Marijuana Ruling (June 12): 
Rona Ambrose's reaction to the Supreme Court's ruling on medical 
marijuana was predictable. Her fear-of-marijuana diatribe fits neatly 
into the Harper Conservatives' platform of fear - fear of terror, 
fear of street crime, fear of headscarves, fear of Vladimir Putin, 
fear of the judiciary.

Perhaps they should abandon the fear agenda and heed Leonard Cohen's 
words: "Let's sing another song boys, this one has grown old and bitter."
