Jack Layton wraps up the year for the NDP by saying they used their influence to do good in parliament.
He says the Liberals will now introduce legistlation that the NDP pushed for.
quote Jack - " Over the next two years, within a balanced budget, the government will invest $4.5 billion in priority areas. Liberals have long promised action in these areas, but — in three majority governments — never delivered.
Among the priority areas are:
# building affordable housing;
# green infrastructure;
# lower tuition and more training opportunities;
# and increased foreign aid.
The NDP continues to fight for a separate bill (already introduced) which mandates a $100 million wage protection fund for workers whose employers face bankruptcy."
-end quote -
K - Those are good for us, not just good for business.
I would like to see all of them pass, although foreign aid might be handled "better" than just by increasing its volume.
What is missing is CANNABIS LEGALISATION legistlation from Layton
["legalisation legistlation from layton" is surprisingly easy to say three times in a row real fast eh?]
Medical marijuana, prohibition, hemp farming, hempseed foods, and the pharmaceuticalisation of canninaboids [!] , are a few of the issues over cannabis that have not been addressed, leaving them in limbo.
How do we go about getting issues on the burner again?
Can we just tell them what we want?
Why not?
Lets!!
