Canada just missed the deadline For the UN Cannabis treaties, don't expect legalization next year, this will put any legalization plans off till late 2018/2019, I know they didn't have the parts to stand up to the UN !!

Canada needed to give notice on July 1 if it intended to withdraw from the treaties and stick to its plan to legalize marijuana by this time next year, said Steven Hoffman, a York University professor who specializes in global health law.

But NDP health critic Don Davies said Freeland is failing to acknowledge the government will no longer be in compliance with the treaties once cannabis gets the legal green light.

Conservative foreign affairs critic Peter Kent said these decisions should have been made public weeks ago.

"We encourage our international partners -- democracies and non-democracies -- to respect treaties to the letter," Kent said in an interview.

"If Canada, for whatever reason, finds itself in violation, that is a sad day."
