"A new National Drug Strategy, mandatory minimum prison sentences and large fines for marijuana grow operations, a nationwide awareness campaign, withdrawal of support for injection sites, a crackdown on drug crime and no marijuana decriminalization legislation is a breath of fresh air for Canadians as well as a reflection of real leadership we have not seen in decades in Canada," said Randy White, current president of the Drug Prevention Network of Canada. "Mr. Harper's leadership will refocus Canada on treatment, prevention and enforcement which is where the vast majority of countries in the world are today. " The Drug Prevention Network of Canada is affiliated with Drug Prevention Networks in South America, United States, Central America the United Kingdom and many organizations in Canada. - --- MAP posted-by: Jackl
