OUR GOVERNMENT IS "IRRESPONSIBLE"

Justice Minister Martin Cauchon, the man steering the government's 
marijuana legislation, said it would be "irresponsible" to do as NDP leader 
Jack Layton suggests and remove all penalties for marijuana." I think it is 
"irresponsible" that our government has not legalized and regulated 
marijuana like alcohol and tobacco (more harmful drugs than marijuana), but 
instead continues to let "organized crime," which doesn't ask for ID, sell 
it to our children. Jack has got my vote next election.

(Sounds like the NDP is going to pot.)
