Liberals win a Minority. The Legalization of Recreational MJ Bill goes to the house of commons and the Cons outright oppose. But the NDP ( who up until last week would only support Decriminalization ) start asking for sexual favors from the Liberal Party on something significant, like, say...senate reform... or ... A differing position on the TPP deal.
I was just thinking about how much were taking for granted in a liberal minority government situation. NOTHING gets done without support from the house. What Im saying is we've actually been here before. On the cusp of reform.
Chretien and Liberals couldnt get the support they needed. The big backlash as far as I remember was the American Boarder threatening that legalization would clog the boarders of trade cause they would be searching for cannabis all day long, in private and commercial vehicles. Oh how times hv changed nd some American States r the first to legalize recreational cannabis.
What Im saying is this; The BILL! The BILL! THE BILL. It has to be written and passed through the house of commons. Depending on Mondays results, it will have to have support from the majority of the MP's. Politics! and Laws!
Ok , put it this way...Smith... Allard...Legalization under anything other than a Majority Liberal Government is going to be Murky, time consuming, political and Legal Suspence.
I am 100% pro legalization. I would buy cannabis for insence cause I love the smell so much. But I see politicians being political in the long road ahead.
Im almost certain the senate would support the bill, cause although they are privelaged elite, they are not all baffoons.
