Not too many people are going to get up in arms at mandatory minimum sentences. Right or wrong, apathy will rule the day there.
As far as Trudeau's view, a transparent attempt at painting himself as being "progressive". I have no problem with decriminalization or legalization of marijuana - to each their own - but the "won't somebody think of the children?" aspect is rather insulting to one's intelligence.
The government will no more be able to keep joints away from kids via regulation than it does cigarettes and alcohol. There are good arguments in favour of changing the laws. That simply isn't one of them.
