The hard drugs need a serious crackdown, not more safe shoot-up stations and free heroin. The only thing that makes it a hard sell is the insinuation that if you run a grow op for pot, you are going to get nailed harder.

At the same time, we should be encouraging the Tories to put forward an agenda much like Harris' in Ontario, early Klein, Thatcher in England and Reagan in America (minus the drug war nonsense). I snipe at Harper (like in my post today) whenever he puts forward anti-liberty ideas. Especially when it makes it more difficult for me to vote P. M.
