This isn't the US. Marijuana will be legal in this country in less than 2 years. They have a majority, they can pass anything they want if Trudeau tells them too.

That's not how it works in a parliamentary system. Everyone has to vote the same way - the way the party leader says they vote. If they don't, the government is dissolved and they call new elections.

America and canada work differently thouh. Its much harder to introduce changes in america, which isnt necessarily a bad thing in all cases.
You do understand that not all democracies follow the us model yes?

Well I mean they technically can vote against the PM if they want, but if it's something important they risk getting kicked out of the party. Also, if the party loses confidence in their leader, they can elect a new one and then that person becomes PM.

Harper has changed the way voting works. He created a "stick together" culture. To a point where you wondered if his MPs had freedom of choice.

The liberals have been in the opposition too long not to pass a shit ton of bills. Omnibus all of them to speed shit up.

Legalizing marijuana was one of the Liberal parties platform. They have a majority. In Canada - that means that they basically can pass any bill they want (of course, the laws have to withstand consitutional / charter challenges - which is kind of the purpose of the Senate, to provide a sober second thought on if the bill is actually OK. ). It's not like the US system.
Technically MPs can vote against their party - but as noted if it's a campaign promise they are going to be booted from the party. Of course, opposition parties can also add support to bills to help it pass.

I agree. However 2 out of 3 official parties support legalization - so it seems to be how the country is headed. What I would like to see is immediate decriminalization and then legalization asap - we will see what happens. I doubt they would renege on this promise, they made it kind of central.

Yep I believe the time has finally come and Trudeau will legalize weed in the next few years.

I am and will continue to celebrate this for some time to come.

He may also implement proportional representation which would also be huge .

This is wonderful news for Canada. With such a strong majority he can easily follow through with his campaign promise to legalize especially since a few states have already blazed the trail and shown the benefits.

That's the thing, who owns those people who got elected? 

US voters learned their lesson 7 years ago with Obama, yet some still love his empty rhetoric.

Apparently Trudeau is far
Less beholden to corporate masters then Obama and has far more autonomy and less puppet masters

Yeah we'll have to wait and see what they actually get done. My hunch is that the legalization thing will go ahead, but Trudeau may well make a shitty PM in other respects.
