Hello everyone I'm new to the forums. I know this topic is lame to most and old but I just had to put my 2cents in. Out of all the harper bashing I have read not one person mentioned his uterly retarded drug policy. I mean seriously war on drugs in 2008? Really? Harper must be kidding or maybe dropped when he was young. He is pushing to do US style mandatory minimums for non violient drug crime? Maybe he is doing it because it solved the drug problem in the US over the odd 20 or so years the have had these standards. Oh ya I forgot the drug problem hasn't gone away and in fact has gotten worse. The funding for it all has gone through the roof. Wanna know the best thing about US drug policy and it's mandatory sentancing? 1 out of every 100 Americans are in jail or under supervision of some sort. The numbers are far worse if you factor in age, race or gender Who's gonna pay for all of this? And someone mentioned earlier that he has cut taxes but who's tax is he cutting? Not mine that's for sure.
