Almost legalized it. More like put it in the same position as alcohol. Lots of ignorant bureaucraps in charge. Most of the legal weed on the market is bunk.
Trudeau's 4 years of Accomplishments
- Thread starter Durry
- Start date
He bought TransMountain. About the only positive cash flow the federal government has.
Most of the promises he kept have had a negative effect on Canadians in general and the West in particular. Trump at least kept promises that are of benefit to ordinary voters.
His government is very transparent........Most intelligent people can see right through them.
This article is laughable, what transparency?
Liberals striving for 'balance' on federal transparency, Trudeau says
His Climate Barbie promised on his behalf not to raise the carbon Tax above $50/ton before the last Federal Election where the Liberals got less votes (but more seats) than the next closest party.
Announcing his new plan for getting to net-zero on carbon emissions, Justin Trudeau told Canadians: “If we trust scientists with our health, as we do, then we must also trust their research and their expertise when it comes to other existential threats. And that includes climate change. There is no vaccine against a polluted planet. It’s up to us to act. Because there is a real cost to pollution. We’re paying the price already with record storms, wildfires, floods, and heat waves, which all carry real economic costs and real risks to our health. We chose to get straight to work on cutting pollution.”
We should indeed trust scientific research and expertise, and above all data. But so far, data shows no such existential threats due to climate change. http://financialpost.com/opinion/le...act-checking-justin-trudeau-on-climate-change
Has Canada experienced record storms? No. Environment and Climate Change Canada’s “Engineering Climate Datasets” show no overall increase in rainfall intensities. In Canada’s Changing Climate Report they clearly state, “For Canada as a whole, observational evidence of changes in extreme precipitation amounts, accumulated over periods of a day or less, is lacking.” Has the prime minister bothered to check this basic fact? Apparently not.
Has Canada experienced record wildfires? No. Natural Resources Canada’s Canadian National Fire Database shows the number of fires and the area burned declining in recent decades. A Fraser Institute study shows fire activity peaking in 1989. Ignorantly stating that we have had record wildfires does not change the data. It needlessly panics the public.
Record floods? Yes. Due to records in the number of exposed people and runoff from urban growth, but not bigger storms. A record in insurance premiums, with 2019 personal property premiums approaching four times 1996 values, not surprisingly, results in a record number of flood losses. Effective policies to mitigate flooding must address the true causes, not pet policy goals.
Has Canada experienced record heat waves? Yes. In the 1930s and 1940s. The Climate Research Branch of the Meteorological Service of Canada published these trends in the Journal of Climate and stated, “No consistent trends are found for the higher percentiles of summer daily maximum temperature, indicating little change to the number of extreme hot summer days.” The data shows that minimum temperatures have increased, which increases averages, despite no increase in maximum temperatures. Is it time to have running fact checks on Trudeau just like they had on Donald Trump? It seems so.
Before the prime minister gets “straight to work” on economy-toppling policies to combat this existential threat, he should put some trust in scientific data and get his facts straight.

The one thing that can't be overlooked with any sort of conscience , is there are segments of our society where harm MAY be caused.
Either that legal weed is no good or I'm immune to it...
I tried it to help me sleep but it didn't work!
This is the way he thinks
I tried it to help me sleep but it didn't work!
Wait for Flossy and It' gonna be a long wait
This is the way he thinks
Then they should stay away from it. Or we could make everything that might possibly cause someone harm illegal. Like fast food, alcohol, gambling, driving a car, working......The one thing that can't be overlooked with any sort of conscience , is there are segments of our society where harm MAY be caused.
SCOC is compromised they ruled on politics not science or jurisdiction.
They just gave Trudie the Green light to backdoor control of the Oil patch
In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled the federal Liberal government's carbon pricing regime is constitutional — a major decision that allows Ottawa to push ahead with its ambitious plan to ensure every province and territory has a price on carbon to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
Some provinces, notably Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan, have forcefully opposed the carbon tax, arguing natural resources are exclusively provincial jurisdiction under the constitution.
However, Chief Justice Richard Wagner, writing for the majority, said the federal government is free to impose minimum pricing standards because the threat of climate change is so great that it demands a co-ordinated national approach.
He agreed with the federal government that climate change is a truly pressing matter of national concern and it's constitutionally permissible for Ottawa to take the lead on an issue that crosses provincial boundaries.
"Climate change is real. It is caused by greenhouse gas emissions resulting from human activities, and it poses a grave threat to humanity's future," Wagner wrote.

- Conservative delegates reject adding 'climate change is real' to the policy book
- Ottawa to hike federal carbon tax to $170 a tonne by 2030
The POGG clause
Ottawa has tried to justify constitutionally questionable laws by citing the POGG clause in the past. It has succeeded in few of those cases because the Supreme Court is generally deferential to the division of powers set out in sections 91 and 92 of the Constitution Act, 1867. But in this case, Wagner said invoking POGG is justified......MoreNow 6 years of chaos and zero accomplishments. Majority will make it 10.
Trending in a bad direction imo

What is it that people don't understand by saying "tax the rich more". Do they not realize the so-called rich have far more options with what to do with their money than the average Joe? I'm still amazed at how this mantra is still going on.
The whole "The rich don't pay their fair share" is a canard. I can't speak for Canadian numbers but I do know that in the US just 4% of the taxpayers pay 59% of the income taxes.
The lesson, which everyone should have learned by now is you can't win a guerilla war in a foreign country with a corrupt government.
