WHERE MY WEED AT, JT?

I know that NOW has historically supported the NDP (NOW, October
15-21) and cannot be happy about the party's unexpectedly poor showing
in Toronto in this election.

But a Liberal majority is a good outcome (even if, perhaps, not the
best possible outcome). Not only is Stephen Harper out of office, as
we all desperately wanted, but we can expect that marijuana will be
legalized. And that's something that you have advocated for a long
time.

In many ways we do live in a crazy world that seems to get crazier all
the time. The conflict in the Middle East is catastrophic, and the
refugee crisis in Europe is horrifying. But sometimes we do make
progress, and we can take some satisfaction in that.
