Just one question. How the hell are any of us going to be able to afford pot or hookers after Trudeau destroys the economy?

As a mildly libertarian conservative, I laugh in the faces of those that believe the Liberals care anything about liberty. Read the Firearms Act, remember the HRCs, think about "hate" laws and section 13....... the very idea that Liberals are on the side of freedom is ludicrous.

I think the "Nordic" model of charging customers and not hookers is insane, like charging heroin addicts but not the dealers. Nor will it address the problem the SCOC was trying to deal with, which was the dangers of street prostitution.............the plan is idiotic.

Give them their brothels.

Under the Liberals you are allowed to get stoned and get laid, but not to say what you think or practice self defense. They have their priorities ****ed up.

I'm pretty sure it was sex, drugs and rock n roll not sex, drugs and guns.

Don't bother us Conservatives with silly questions right now. We are too busy trying to fill the new prisons we built.

Besides, isn't liberty one-third of that dammed French trilogy along with equality and brotherhood. Sounds commie to me.

Let's not confuse liberty with freedom.

NEP gave us lots of liberty as did Adscam and HRDC scandal and the gas plant scandal in ON and E-health scandal in ON and Orange scandal in ON. When was the last Lib gubmint that really gave me more liberty and reduced my taxes?

The problem with government being involved in medicinal pot is that government is NEVER able to produce and price things within reason. Things will invariably cost more to produce and not be of high quality.

The private sector is much more able to do that. Unfortunately, this particular problem involves government restrictions/guidelines and scrutiny so that in and of itself will hinder the private sector anyway. So unless the growing of pot is completely made legal across the board, its a lose lose situation for those who need pot for medicinal purposes which doesn't surprise me in the least. Since when does anything the government does become cheaper for the consumer? Hardly ever.

Suffice to say that I work for a business that is regulated by government. Not only do the bureacrats have no idea of how the private sector works, many times they arrive at decisions that go against the legislation in place and we (i.e. the business) suffer the consequences which usually means money out of our pocket. It's actually quite amazing. When challenged on their decision, they do a run-around as to why this particular decision is an exception even when the legislated rules are quite clear. There's no changing their minds so I suspect it's a power trip of sorts, just to remind us of whose in charge.

JMHO

Taxes aren't a big deal unless you failed at getting a decent job.

Let's not reward the bottom feeders. ;)
