Its great to see Canadians demanding to enter the 21st century and to leave the garbage of the 20th century behind.

Cheers to the future!

We won't have legal cannabis as long as Harper is in. We need either the New Democrats or Liberals to be in power in order to make pot legal. Here is a link to a recently created Anti-Harper forum which explains Harper's views on marijuana.

I'll still vote for Harper because it's not an issue that matters to me much, but I think all drugs should be legal, and administered by the government.

You'll never had drugs legal under a Harper government. I think its a pretty important issue. Pot legalization will free up the justice system to go after more dangerous and harmful criminals, it will raise tax revenue, and will reduce violent crime. It is a well known fact that pot mellows most people out. Why would anyone in their right mind vote for Harper. He took us from surpluses to deficits, he took away EI to millions of deserving people, he is ignoring native treaty rights, he refuses to legalize marijuana, his party was implicated in a robocall scandal and he is a union-buster.

Well, to be fair he did preface the statement that it's not something important to him. Otherwise, I have no argument with any of your points.

It may not be important to one personally, but there's a lot of people these laws effect. Many people have had their lives heavily affected by such laws.

Yeah, I know. Like I said, it's not an issue I'd vote on. The Liberals or the NDP might legalize marijuana but I doubt that would have any effect on the "drug wars".

As for the rest of your points, I'm not up on FN treaty rights (but I agreed with ditching the Kelowna accord), and I never paid much attention to the robocall thing, having never got one, but the rest of your points don't sound to me like much of an argument against voting for him.
