Not one page ago you ripped Harper for lying about Canadians and pot legalization. Now I'm actually completely against Harper's position on this, but what he said was accurate. When given a third option the majority of Canadians do not want the full legalization of marijuana...just a direct quote mate.
“Most Canadians (when) you actually ask them, do not want the full legalization of marijuana.”
A 2014 survey by Angus Reid Global found that 59 per cent of the 1,510 Canadians surveyed supported legalizing marijuana and 41 per cent were opposed.
However, in a survey where Canadians were given a third option -- decriminalization for possessing small amounts – only 37 per cent supported legalization, while 33 per cent chose decriminalization and 14 per cent supported the current laws. That survey included 3,000 people and was conducted by Ipsos Reid on behalf of the federal government.
