OTTAWA (CP) — The American drug czar who once blasted Canada for safe-injection sites and for exporting “the crack of marijuana” to the U.S. was much more mellow Thursday during his first visit here in two years.
A new roster of Conservative officials bent on tougher anti-drug laws had something to do with it.
“The United States appreciates Canada’s renewed focus on disrupting organized criminal activity, and reducing illicit drug use and trafficking,” said John Walters, director of U.S. National Drug Control Policy.
“I’ve seen terrific consensus here in my visit so far,” he told a news conference. “I think the debate that has been a source of friction has been obviously less under the current administration.”
This is just sad. John Walters appreciates Canada? That is a bad, bad sign.
