FLAWS IN SLUR CAMPAIGN

Unfortunately, it would seem the Conservatives have taken a page from 
their U.S. counterparts, opting for lies and innuendo against Justin 
Trudeau and bolster credence for their archaic anti-marijuana stance.

To ask the CMA and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons to 
allow their good name to be associated with what amounts to a slur 
campaign against Trudeau would be a huge tactical error.

The truth of how Trudeau conceives the implementation of the sale and 
regulation of marijuana flies in the face of the butchered sound 
bites and faulty innuendoes the Conservatives want to use. It will 
backfire on Stephen Harper's Tories at the polls.

They're already afraid of him, but painting Trudeau as an advocate 
for pot use by kids would surely be the Conservative death knell.
