I don't think his prisons are meant for criminals. People are just going to have to wake up to the fact that the only thing to fear is fear itself. Then they might be able to think clearly and see what a crock this whole issue is.
NDP clarifies Mulcair stance on marijuana
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
More prisons,ha,they didn't get their 3500 new criminals in a month,so their closing Kingston.What a bunch of morons.
Pot became the new prohibition after booze became legal and it all about
funding law enforcement and justifying their existence. It is time to move
on. Making criminals of people like this is nonsense. It destroys their
ability to progress down the road of life, after youth as it were. We should
be putting money into things that matter and will enrich peoples lives in the
long run

Works well here in the Netherlands.
Funny thing is. Marijuana is still illegal in the Netherlands. The police just don't charge people with possession offenses for small amounts (although they could). The coffee shops pay taxes (if I'm not mistaken), so somehow, they have a lucrative, taxed, criminal market here.

... :roll:
Speaking of morons.
Kingston and Leclerc are 19th Century prisons.
The Conservative prison expansion that had everyone whining out typical silly rhetoric, was simply because the present prison facilities are dated and unable to deal with the the present long term penal population, adequately, or humanely.
As petros is fond of saying, I predicted this, a long time ago... ;-)
My MP is Paul Dewar, so why should I care what a Montreal MP has to say? I want to know where my local MP stands on the issue, not some other MP.
What? Are New Democrats not able to think for themselves without guidance from the party leader? They're just as bad as the Conservative Party!
That's one thing I did appreciate about the old Reform Party: it did allow its MPs considerable leeway to represent their own constituents rather than the party leader.
Also, what would be the big deal if Mulcair is against decriminalization but other NDP MPs are for it? Give each MP a free vote. Problem solved.
Is it really that complicated?
It's a the zoo of course. Whre else would penguins learn to play the cymbals?
Bingo! They're ALL just as bad.
For the typical ideologue? Well you read Fuzzy's posts, so you have a good idea already.
True enough.
Look at the turmoil when a few NDP MPs chose to vote to abolish the long-gun registry, and Turmel proposed punishing them. To me, that's paramount to punishing their constituents along with them.
Scott Reid, a Conservative MP, is known to have voted against the Conservative Party too, especially with regards to security bills when he feels they go too far (he may be a member of the Conservative Party, but he definitely has a Libertarian steak about him).
Left or right, I respect MPs who have the balls to stand up for their constituents and to hell with the party leader.

Is everything ****ing partisan to you? It's fantastic the antiquities are being closed down, it's fantastic current inmates can be transfered to already existing facilities without the need for new. It's wonderful crime has fallen sharply and there is room. I say "too ****ing bad" to union thug guards of the "prison industry" who are whining about job losses. I say big ****ing deal to the city of Kingston, they can find another "industry" but when you bring up humane treatment I have to ask what the **** are you thinking? Research a little into the cuts to the staffing that actually tries to rehabilitate the inmates and meet their healthcare needs, education needs, and community needs. Do we need people warehouses or do we need rehabilitation facilites?
Asks the guy that made this about the present gov't.
It's irrelevant what party is the sitting gov't. Far to many Canadian penal facilities, are antiquated. There is already case law regarding conditions, and cases before the courts, undermining sentencing.
The rest of your post is your usual conglomeration of distraction techniques.
It's a whip vote, so they are free to go against the grain, but would lose some perks like free travel.
It really depends on how much we value the strength of a party's overarching platform.
I'm not wading through all the threads that you have whined about new prisons and present policy.
Your asinine rhetoric is what what it is. Deal with it.
How do you feel about that?
