Winnipeg Sun: Drug Profits and the Big Picture

I was shocked to read such a sensible article about drugs in the Sun. Really I am completely blown away. This was my favorite part:

Many Conservative voters see drug legalization as another left-wing cause that would erode Canada’s social fabric — and Harper’s unequivocal position no doubt reflects that thinking.

Legalization, however, does not mean condoning drug use. It means, first of all, striking the hardest blow possible against organized crime.

Isn’t that the theme of Harper’s “law and order” stance?

I hope Harper is listening. I wish people would realize that when a Conservative says "Get tough on crime" it really means "Lock up all the potheads."

I also saw an interesting read via Pete entitled "Why I am no longer a Republican (and never was a democrat)."
