U.S. Drug Czar John Walters has been invited by the Canadian Center on Substance Abuse to try and rationalize U.S. drug policy to a Canadian audience. Mr. Walters is a reputed zealot, known for an eagerness to drug test every student in America. He is also an infamous purveyor of anti-cannabis propaganda.

As Eugene Oscapella from the Canadian Foundation for Drug Policy said: "We in Canada have agreed to take John Walters off your [US] hands for a few hours on February 22. I am more than a little perplexed as to why the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, a supposedly independent drug policy agency, is inviting him to speak without using a panel format that would allow his statements to be challenged. There will be a question and answer session after his speech, but that will hardly offer the opportunity for a balanced debate. I wonder if these were the only terms on which he would speak here."

Drug Policy in the United States:
A Presentation by John P. Walters
Director, White House Office of National Drug Control Policy

You are cordially invited to a luncheon event with featured speaker John P. Walters, Director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. Mr. Walters will provide an overview of the U.S. National Drug Control Strategy, its progress and challenges.

An informal question and answer period will follow the presentation.

Date:
February 22, 2007

Time:
11:45 am - 1:15 pm (lunch is included)

Location:
Fairmont Chateau Laurier, Tudor Room
(1 Rideau Street, Ottawa, ON K1N 8S7)

Rofl, chris, you'd best get away from the us embassy windows.

''Lunch included''

I wouldnt say he was a Czar, because that almost makes him sound like a drug baron, or such. I hope he hasnt come to try pressure canada into making some irrational decision about cannabis use.

THats fucken exactly what hes trying to do. Hes the chief of US DRUG POLICY, of course hes a czar. Hes coming to profess his drug policy here so that the conservative government will hear it out and copy the US drug policy. But that will never work here in Canada. Canada and the US, socially are very different. Since we have an english britannia heritage, Canada has always rested with a firm attachment to Europe. So we adopted more progressive policies and political culture compared to the US prudes. I expect to be there. I will be searching if theres any protest that will be organized. Ill try to take pics if i go.

WATCH THIS!

Marc and friends and members of the BCMP covertly acquired a table at a luncheon-speech organized by the Vancouver Board of Trade and featuring the US Drug Czar John Walters. If only this Narco-Nazi got this kind of greeting everywhere he took his trail of lies! Great newsclips and an eyewitness account of John Walters visit to Vancouver's cannabis friendly cafe The Amsterdam.

i dont see how this prick seems to think he has the right to preach his anti-narcotic bullshit to canada, and probarbly more countries. I don't see who gives him authority to do this bullshit either, apart from ''God on earth'' george W motherfucking bush. This man is worse than the fucking gestapo. waltzing in and preaching his veiw, that he expects the whole world to bow down and suck his ass. I hope canada sees sense to eject this cunt before its too late..

I apologise sincerely for the amount of obscene language in there.

I apologize on behalf of my country if that douchebag tries to subliminally influence the policies of Canada. We forget sometimes that North America is a continent and not a country :x

I watched that video and its pretty good, I really like canadas outlook on drugs. Serously it feels like you guys are years ahead of us in drug policy, and your willing to try new things and see what happens. sure wish we had that here

but looks like his visit to canada was interesting and every there still has their enlighten views. Heck even some of john walter facts were screwely and the mayor pointed that out. oh well guess thats what happens when 1/4 of the us population are retards.

god i'm always appologizing for my fucking country, sorry on behalf of the U.S....i don't know why our government does the things it does...it seems as if our government runs us...instead of us running our government, like it was originally supposed to be made.

i get so frustrated that no one understand but a select few people
