I have no desire to support a party that tried to form a minority government with a separatist party. Perhaps I can forgive them in time... but not yet.
Not in favour of universal daycare either... unless you are a single parent because of divorce or rape, you should have the responsibility of caring for your own children.
The conservative party has warts too of course. I would like to know why Harper has not fulfilled some of his promises from years ago, such as why we still have a Senate among other things.

If I'm not mistaken the states that have legalized marijuana have incorporated marijuana into their smoking laws, and there's no reason why that wouldn't be the case here.

I have no trouble with that kind of ad.
If it was, smoke this spliff and the cops would get you, I'd actually agree.
But this ad to me was no different then the ads for smoking is bad and drinking a bunch is bad.

My concern is that the ads for prescription drug and alcohol abuse appear far less frequently then the ads for marijuana and those are the far more serious problems. Also of concern is that claims made by the ad don't appear to be based on any sound science.
