Sandra Buckler lies, and an article with comments below.
Mon Jan 16 early evening.
First Sandra Buckler lie-ing stateing that the Cons Platform is still fully endorsed by that independant firm, Conference Board of Canada, even though the economist that did the costing has stated he has removed himself from it.
Now Sandra is trying to cover her and Stevens's ass. The Duff Man is re-inforcing the Fibs talking head points on the issue, but not too hard.
Sandra is being rude, interupting all the time. The Fiberal dude is not interupting and being polite.
In Sandras' arrogance she is calling the Fiberal a liar. She must have big cahunas to actually believe the populace listening is going to believe her lie because she is from the moderate, tell the truth, clean up corruption party. Its all over the news about the economist removing himself from the costing of the Cons Platform. Fibs 1, Cons 0.
The Fibs actually telling the truth this time and the Cons lie-ing..... go figure.
now on to the good part, an article:
Toronto Star, page B3.

From the microphone came a question for the candidates that had nothing to do with health or education or the Constitution or guns: "Where do you stand on the legalization of marijuana?"
All seven candidates in the riding of Trinity-Spadina, seated at a long table at the front of the lecture hall at the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre on Bloor St. W. last week, smiled as the more than 300 residents in the packed room suddenly sat up with new interest.
So, legalizing pot, eh?
The first to answer was John Riddell, a white-haired gentleman running for the Canadian Action Party, whose day job is superintendent of a highrise. The audience hushed as he leaned back in his chair, looked upward and replied with a slight grin, "I don't think I'd have a problem with that."
Laughter. Cheers.
Next was Nick Lin, running for the Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada, making his fourth attempt for political office.
Clearing his throat, he replied, "I don't think it's appropriate for the state to interfere in individual lives."
The crowd went wild. "The Communist party? Holy cow!" someone in the second row exclaimed with glee.
Next up was the Liberals' Tony Ianno, defending his seat in the riding. He mentioned his support for his party's proposed decriminalization of marijuana, then added something about how pot would obviously become an alternative to drinking, so we'd have to figure out "how to ensure if people are smoking that they're driving safely."
People looked at each other aghast. Did we hear right? Things were certainly looking good.
Next was Asif Hossain, candidate for the Progressive Canadian Party and a student at the University of Toronto.
Hossain leaned forward and declared with a grin, "As the youngest candidate in the room, you might assume that I smoke all the time." Cheers, applause. "But I don't." That being said, he added that he believes in civil liberties, so bring it on.
More applause, hoots.
Suddenly, the mood in the room turned dark as Conservative candidate Sam Goldstein, seething in his seat, took his turn. Pointing a menacing finger at the crowd, he chastised them for wanting candidates to control gun crime in their city, while wanting to legalize a drug that was causing the gang warfare on their streets.
"You are supporting gang violence in this city!" he roared. The crowd erupted in anger, shaking their fists as he continued to vent his disgust.
The moderator banged on the podium to stop the commotion and finally the next candidate, the New Democratic Party's Olivia Chow, was able to speak.
"Well," she said. "I'm surprised it has taken so long and still nothing has been done."
More applause.
Finally, the seventh and final candidate was able to speak — Thom Chapman of the Green party, a young man who plays chess in his spare time.
The room waited in silence and then he said, "I'm sorry, I forgot the question."
He got the biggest laugh of all.

Majere: my comments on article.
Leave it up to the Cons to attempt to associate cannabis to gangs and shootings. An Ontario Court Judge questioning a cops statement about how violent going into a grow-op house is ...... in 901 enters ....... only 2 small acts of violence. Nuff said there.
The other politicians who are there on the streets know cannabis is passive. That the cops claim even small personall grows as grow-ops. Even the people in the audiance is fully informed enough to know that the association of cannabis to violence is next to nothing. As stevie would probaly say, the audiance must have been stacked with not-Canadians.
The arrogance of a Con actually lecturing the audiance as if they are less informed, less intellegent and or less ............. Canadian. That he, the Con, knows best. That every single other politician and probaly by the sounds of the writing, most of the audiance does not know anything about cannabis.
Gangs deal in crack, meth and ecstasy. Cannabis is very bulky compared to profit, when compared to tablets or crack. The profit margin is higher in all other illegal areas than cannabis. The Con member for that riding is a lie-ing joke of what we can expect with a majority. A moral superiority with arrogance for icing.
Arrogance.
arrogance.
its starrrrrrrting.
cheers :) majere
the ndp shall be vacated as voters split
