This ad kinda pisses me off.... Used as an attack with the support of all the brainwashing of "If you do drugs or alcohol, you will die" in school. They don't tell us why its bad, they tell us alcohol and cigarettes are safer than marijuana... An answer to this ad - I can imagine marijuana being regulated being sold like cigarettes and alcohol. Age restrictions to buy, tax money going in to our system to better the communities rather than SPENDING money to house all the inmates in jail getting bagged for using/selling/buying/growing marijuana.

Heard it on the radio for the first time today and my first reaction was wtf...?

The ad states "JT is sending the message that recreational drug use is okay". Wtf do they think alcohol and cigarettes are? Vitamins?

And yet Harper el ali feel that they are competent to comment on an undisclosed issue, during a non campaign. Do you not see the idiocy?

I had written Harper off long ago, over other issues. This is just the icing on the cake.

Rob, it's all idiotic. But I want the least idiotic guy running the show.

That would be the logical conclusion.

Of course, cutting off ones nose to spite ones face isn't that good for oneself, or anybody else.

Justin has had his foot in his mouth already many times, and this is without a platform. Just wait till the promises start flowing (which they are starting to).

Now, you see, I just don't understand who will vote for someone who says that he's one thing, but whose actions repeatedly prove that he's something else. Must be that 1984 Newspeak stuff that I read about.

Conservative = spending a lot of money belonging to someone else

Open and honest government = don't tell them that you're lying and it might as well be the truth

Fiscally responsible = don't let them see the bill and they'll think that the blank cheque that they're signing will be for a small amount

Not like that other guy = we've got different names

So your conclusion is that Harper is the only liar? Do you really believe you can trust Justin and/or Mulchair?

Rob, I can appreciate your disdain for the brokenness of the current system. However, unless there is an uprising this is what we're stuck with, so we're back to best of bad lot, at least as long as it takes to fix the system.

I consider Harper to be the only liar who I helped vote into Federal office. I also consider him to be a supreme hypocrite, given the original platform that he ran on. As I said, I don't reward lairs. If more people felt the same and turned lying scumbags into one term wonders then maybe, just maybe they would learn to stop lying.

We set the tone. They will try to get away with what we allow them to get away with.

So your logical solution is to let Mulchair or Justin have a go?

Either will make Harper look like an angel when they're done with us.

Btw, Shiny Pony has started with the "he won't raise taxes" BS. Of course what we will get some or all of the following:

1. New User Fees
2. Carbon reduction encouragement programs
3. More environmental disposal program surcharges
4. Violent Crime program reduction fees
5. etc
6. etc.

Of course, Justin (the up and coming Obama of the North) will definitely have quite the spin for "hope and change".........

Yep, this is a guy we want leading our country on a world stage:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/justin-trudeau-under-fire-for-ukraine-joke-1.2549392

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is under fire from Conservative MPs after joking about Russia 's Olympic hockey team going without a medal during a discussion about Ukraine violently suppressing demonstrations.

In an interview taped on Thursday, which aired Sunday night, Trudeau said that Russia was upset about its men's Olympic hockey team losing out on a shot at a medal in Sochi.

Trudeau was answering a question about whether Canada should do more to help Ukraine, where violence had hit its worst point since the Soviet era, with 75 people killed in two days. The EU and Canada announced economic sanctions against President Viktor Yanukovych that day.

"Canada should do more," Trudeau said in the interview on Radio-Canada's Tout le monde en parle, a French-language interview show that's enormously popular in Quebec.

The Liberals had been urging the government to do more, Trudeau went on to say in French.

"President Yanukovych has been made illegitimate. It's very worrying, especially because Russia lost in hockey, they'll be in a bad mood. We fear Russia's involvement in Ukraine," Trudeau said.

'Extremely serious'

"Just because of hockey?" asked Guy Lepage, the show's host.

"No. That's trying to bring a light view in a situation that's extremely serious," Trudeau said.

Another guest, singer and actor Dan Bigras, then pointed out they were talking about massacres, something Trudeau agreed was horrible.

Conservative MPs took aim at Trudeau Monday on Twitter, including Employment Minister Jason Kenney and Industry Minister James Moore.

"So Justin Trudeau, whose favourite regime is 'the basic dictatorship of China,' thinks the deadly crisis in Ukraine is a laughing matter," Kenney said on Twitter, referring to Trudeau citing China as the country he most admired other than Canada.

Moore simply tweeted the quote and the word "Unreal."

'Offensive comments'

In an interview with Evan Solomon, host of CBC News Network's Power & Politics, Ukraine's ambassador to Canada said people have to be careful about what they say when there is killing in the streets of Kyiv.

"Jokes are inappropriate these days when we have hundreds [of] people [dead]," Vadym Prystaiko said.

Prystaiko said Trudeau's joke was inappropriate and that he will ask him to apologize.

Liberal Deputy Leader Ralph Goodale and Liberal foreign affairs critic Marc Garneau defended Trudeau on Twitter.

The Liberals, Goodale said, had discussed the crisis in Ukraine over the weekend and adopted a resolution with Trudeau's "unequivocal support."

The resolution was voted on during the Olympic gold medal men's hockey game between Canada and Sweden, however, which Trudeau was watching in a different room.

Outside the House, Garneau denied Trudeau had put his foot in his mouth, and blamed the uproar on partisan attacks from the Conservatives.

Immigration Minister Chris Alexander said he was shocked to hear Trudeau's comments in the interview on Tout le monde en parle.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Trudeau apparently thinks the situation in Ukraine is something to joke about. We don’t. And we are concerned that there is not just one statement of this quality. There’s a pattern here of support for communist dictatorship, in belief in budgets balancing themselves, and now of whimsical comments, offensive comments, about Ukraine’s future based on the result of a hockey game in Sochi," said Alexander, a former ambassador to Afghanistan.

If you think that I want Mulchair near my money, then you REALLY haven't been paying attention. As for the rest I feel that I've already beed anally probed with a cheese grater by the one, and I know that I didn't enjoy that, so it's time to look for someone else and give him at least a chance to not do the same. I'm tied to my principles, not some stupid political party.

And I'll give deeds more weight than words. I'll just mention one, of the many. How about how Harper wraps himself in the flag and military, while pissing on veterans?

*EDIT* And speaking of deeds, when was the last time you heard of a politician doing a face to face meeting with representatives of the group that he aggrieved, rather than just making an announcement in the media that he was sorry?

Interesting. Same thing has happened in Canada: the Harper government has terminated programs and scientists who present data that don't support morals-based government policies.

It was Pierre e Trudeau that said that the government has no business in people's bedrooms, on another morals-based government policy, back in the 1960's.

Damn straight, I'm voting for Trudeau this time around. Voting for Harper is voting against science, and voting for a government that wants to control morality and rational choice. They are almost as scary as the anti-intellectual republicans in the US.

btw, I do recognize my own personal biases: pro-rational, pro-science, pro-choice, pro-intellectualism, anti-government moral control.

Given that the Harper Conservatives used Dubya Bush political advisers, it's hardly a surprise that they're as frightening as the Republicans.

Given that justin is using Obama political advisers, it's amazing that people aren't shaking in their boots up here over how badly justin is going to screw this country just like Obama has in the US.

Oh the apathy and ignorance of the electorate.
