As a scientist, I cringe everytime I remember we have a Conservative Government in power. It's usually not a good thing for the scientific field.
This brings me to a question I was going to pose to CP in another thread. If a mod feels it's worth it's own thread, then they can split the topic.
If you were elected as Prime Minister of Canada, what changes in policy would you passionately try to effect?

What positive influence on drug use? I've never heard that it has any impact on reducing drug use in Hastings.
Also, politicians aren't quite technocrats, although your post seems to insinuate that that is all politicians are good or bad for.
