Voting for me is always such a disappointment. Always results in Hedy Fry for another four years.

The tories have a policy leaning towards manditory sentencing and longer convictions. I'm not sure where they stand on pot specifically but... well you don't support building massive prisons unless you plan to fill them.

Seeing as the Conservatives have a specific agenda on the legal system, it wouldn't be surprising if an MP at some point within the next four years came up with such a proposal.

I personally believe we should legalize it, regulate it, and tax the hell out of it. I know 10 yrs ago the US was pressuring governments in canada NOT to legalize it, but i sure hope we revisit the issue.
(note, i don't smoke up, but looking at all the data, it makes sense to legalize it to me)

I just caught a quick glimpse of this hot NDP candidate from Quebec. I can see why she got the votes. Didn't catch the name. Could be wrong....... I didn't have my glasses on and it was for a split second as I was channel surfing.

~61% voter turnout. I had a feeling it'd be higher with a bunch of my friends and fb/twitter friends saying they were going to vote.

Predictions under a Conservative government? (besides what we already know?)
- Tougher drug laws, particularly for marijuana use?
- Gradual withdrawal of funding for the CBC?
- Further cuts to public services?

There are findings out there that suggests brain damage. Not saying it is true or not. There's more to it than meets the eye. Legalizing it can open up more than a few can of worms. Even if there is no proof of damage to health and mind, the criminal aspects and how it will affect those who are involved now and what will be replaced, etc. Impact will be huge.

-Increased military spending.
-Less government transparency.
-Major increase in oil exploration.
I also expect to see massive public opposition to the policies he pushes through. Quote:

| Actually this is inaccurate. Yes, per supporter, Liberals get lots of donations but not directly from the supporters themselves. This is something the Liberals didn't do greatly in. As well, because of the lower vote base now, they will have a tougher time funding. Remember they are no longer get the substantial money that an official opposition party gets.

Blargh. Only the NDP had a decent internet platform consisting of banning usage based billing and enshrining net neutrality in law.
Large corporations and the telecom giants are going to get their way. |
