It's funny how the opposition, who didn't even support this part of the platform, is now criticizing Trudeau for not honoring his promise to immediately introduce the bill. I guess the first 18 months isn't fast enough to implement something they don't even want in the first place.
This isn't a knock on the NDP or Conservatives as the Liberals would do the exact same thing if they were the opposition. It just makes it hard to take them seriously when you know they are being so contradictory just for the sake of it.
I agree that it can't happen soon enough though. There is a lot of due diligence that has to happen first though, including diplomatically backing away from international treaties. In the meantime, there should be decriminalization to some degree. A lot of people are going to get criminal records in the next year before legalization occurs.
