OK, it wasn't Canada per se; it was the Liberal Party at their national conclave last weekend.
Fresh from their banishment to the political wilderness under the leadership of that Harvard wanker last election, the Liberals have been casting about for a platform that will return them to relevance in the Canadian political universe.
Legalize pot? Why not?
It's an idea whose time has come and gone several times in the last fourty years. Remember the Le Dain commission? Legalize pot!
That was back in sixties if I remember correctly.
My best guess is that we'll be well into the twenty-sixties before anyone takes this seriously. The Liberal Party is coming up with this concept because they are for the time being relegated to the dung heap of history. The moment they extract themselves from the dung and become contenders again it'll be "good-bye legal pot and hello mandatory sentencing!"
At which point the electorate will fling them back to the dung heap.
