Critics: New pot law will bug U.S. #1512170 - 05/01/03 03:34 PM Edit Reply Quote http://www.canoe.ca/TorontoNews/ts.ts-05-01-0015.html CRITICS: NEW POT LAW WILL BUG U.S. OTTAWA -- Softening pot laws will be one more "irritant" to relations with the U.S., opposition members charge. Canadian Alliance leader Stephen Harper yesterday urged Liberals to postpone decriminalizing pot, saying time is needed to heal wounds from Canada's stand on Iraq and a series of anti-American comments. "The Americans view the possession of 30 grams as potential trafficking," he said. This week, Prime Minister Jean Chretien announced legislation to decriminalize possession of up to 30 grams of marijuana will be tabled before the summer recess. SMALLER AMOUNT The Alliance supports decriminalization, but only for up to five grams. John Walters, director of the White House office of National Drug Control Policy, said decriminalization makes little sense. "When you make the penalties minimal you get more drug use, you get more drug addiction, you get more drug production, you get more drug crime," he said. Justice Minister Martin Cauchon tried to allay concerns by stressing that decriminalization is part of a policy that will include ramped-up prevention tactics and tough enforcement measures. Tory MP Peter MacKay said he's worried easing pot laws will create more problems at the border and sour relations with the U.S. --- Kyoto/shmoto, who cares anymore, I'm not voting for these American ass-kissers. Americans are jerks, Canadians should be jerks right back, thats how we relate. But no, the Alliance wants to polish their shoes. Sellouts!

Canadia is a sovereign nation, for the most part. Don't let some US drug warrior tell you what to do.

Please don't confuse this stupid shit as the will of the American people. This pisses me off. I really wish we would let Canada be it's own nation. There are alot worse things going on then Pot. A majority (and i'd say probably a super majority) of americans like the canadian people.

The same difference that exists between a Timber Wolf and a Gerbil... anyways... Even I was surprised at the number of Canadians in a recent poll that support decriminalization...I think it 69% in a recent poll.
