Canadian Government Set to Unveil Tough Anti-Drug Strategy

by The Drug War Chronicle (01 Jun, 2007) Canadians MUST mobilize against a US-style War on Drugs in Canada!

WARNING: Keep US Drug War Away From Canada!
The Conservative government of Canadian Prime Minister Steven Harper is set to reveal what is expected to be a US-style approach to drug policy any day now. While action in parliament is unlikely until after the looming summer recess, battle lines are already being drawn in what promises to be a bitter fight.

Although the government has yet to reveal particulars, it is widely assumed that the new drug strategy will take a "tough on crime" approach to drugs, cracking down on grow-ops and drug sellers with harsher penalties, providing more money for law enforcement, and moving away from harm reduction approaches such as Vancouver's Insite safe injection site.

"There will be a heavier emphasis on enforcement, with some additional money for treatment," said Eugene Oscapella, head of the Canadian Drug Policy Foundation. "The other thing is they want mandatory minimum sentences for some drug offenses, especially serious trafficking offenses," he told Drug War Chronicle...

Yeah normally I'm kind of old fashioned except when it comes to sex and drugs. Canada's porn and drug laws are absolutely lame as is, I don't need this shit. Luckily, as Chris said, this just won't go through. Too bad, Harper. Better luck next time sucka

once the liberals get back in power i think canada will begin to entertain the thought of having the same drug policies like Amsterdam. Im not saying there will be a coffee shop on every street corner. But in places like Toronto, Vancouver, Halifax, Calgary i can see coffee shops or coffee shop-esque stores being implimented as means for tourism. Lets face it Canada is dropping in Tourism especially in Toronto. Or is it just Toronto thats dropping im rele not sure

ur right jim Miller is a major dickhead. The toronto indy is a joke compared to the f1 race. I personally think the that SARS and not getting the olympic games has caused the downfall in tourism.
