Kudos to Pallister

Pallister tells cabinet to come clean on marijuana ties. How rare in
politics - a leader setting a high moral and ethical standard. Premier
Pallister deserves kudos for ensuring none of his cabinet minsters
will gain financially when marijuana is legalized. I have not seen any
"progressive" government leaders, including the Trudeau Liberals,
setting this same high standard.

Pot legalization is certainly open to financial gain by those with the 
inside information. Premier Pallister is also one of the few provincial 
leaders wanting the feds to slow down the legalization date. Trudeau 
came up with this risky plan for votes and new revenues, but it will be 
the premiers who will be saddled with the many negative unintended 
consequences.
