Keep in mind when referring to Ted Morton and social policy you're threading in religiously rooted territory. First of all he's the 'Sustainable Resources Minister' harping on raising the drinking age. A little out of his portfolio and expertise if I do say so myself. The appeal to 'stopping violence' seems to fit in nicely with left leaning rhetoric but in reality Ted Morton as well as his evangelical friends just wishes for us all to go back to prohabition. Raising the drinking age by one year seems the only feasible thing he can do on the subject considering that most province's legal ages are 19. Next step is 21, after that 25, after that full out prohabition. Thin edge of the wedge.
I say if you're old enough to vote and die for your country you should be given all the same rights as priviledges as anyone else.
