TRUDEAU SHOULD SUPPORT MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION

Re: "Trudeaumania gets 21st-century update," Sept. 27.

If Justin Trudeau really wants to win the leadership of the Liberal
Party and ultimately form the governing party, he needs to promise to
end the prohibition of marijuana.

The Union of B.C. Municipalities voted Wednesday to decriminalize
marijuana and tax marijuana. The Liberal Party of Canada has also
supported decriminalization.

The current federal government will never legalize pot. It is only
possible with a new government that is honest and straightforward with
its mandate.

If Trudeau wants to win seats in B.C., he should think about this
issue and step up. I know his father would be proud.
