I would like to note for the record that I do not smoke, I quit the awful habit 9 years ago.
This fulfillment of a promise is one the federal liberals are going to keep. Legalizing marijuana. I think it’s wrong and should be revoked. This is foolish thinking but the liberals think that if we legalized the stuff than the Conservatives, if and when they win enough seats to form a government, will never contemplate making the stuff illegal again. So once it becomes legalized, it’ll stay that way. Thus, it will make a legacy for the liberals who also, brought in the Constitution of Canada and Metric Measurement. Things that are still around today and tomorrow. Liberals mess up every so often with scandals but they did do some things well. Things that define Canada. Conservatives need to do the same. The best thing they made is Free Trade.
So, Andrew Scheer needs some ideas that will stay around for decades.
But marijuana is not a good idea. I read recently that the government is cutting funding to Anti-Smoking groups. The Non-Smokers Rights Association (NSRA) and Physicians for a Smoke Free Canada. (PSA) will receive no funding from the Government this year. They had anticipated receiving $11 million this year 2018 and $16 million the next. These two groups work hard to keep the next generation of kids from ever starting to smoke. I think that’s very huge. But without them, they fear the next generation will be lost. More smokers, more cancer, more health and lung and heart problems. This is what this government doesn’t think of. The future. Our kids. I personally remember seeing kids I went to school with who were smoking. Back then you could buy cigarettes at 16 years old. I remember a smoking section in school. Today I don’t think it would be there because the kids are to young.
So why talk about this subject? Well if you think about it, I’m not trying to be foolish to think of this, but, It looks silly even for a government to fund Anti smoking groups when it’s about to legalize pot. Is that foolish? Yes, I think it is. Just think of what this is going to do to our kids. It’s not something I want to be associated with. If Trudeau wants this as a legacy, it should be said that he’ll be responsible for every person and their heart disease, every person that gets high on marijuana, every teenager who gets into a car and drives away. The health causes from smoking the stuff, and the kids who smoke because there was nobody to tell them that it was bad for them.
Is this what he wants for a legacy?
His Dad, Pierre E. Trudeau had a better one because he created things that wouldn’t harm anyone or have a burden on the healthcare system. Andrew Scheer should do the same, like Free Trade. Perhaps he should create wealth and resources from one Province like Alberta and it’s oil deposits and send it to British Columbia and other provinces. Ontario and Quebec. It would bring down the price of gas in each Province. None of these Inter-Provincial Trade wars. But either way, It’s us, the people who are going to suffer the consequences. The healthcare costs, the people who get behind the wheel under the influence of alcohol and pot. We’ll be paying for this for the rest of our lives.
It should also be noted of the Toronto Newspaper that continually takes it’s shots at the police. It’s the liberals that make the law, not police. Put the blame where comes from.
