BLOWING IN THE WIND

Re: "Feds blame Trudeau for blowing smoke on marijuana debate," Aug. 19.

I agree with Health Minister Rona Ambrose. The part-time drama teacher
and also leader of the third party Justin Trudeau, is targeting his
marijuana platform strictly to bring out the youth vote.

The fact that he shows himself to be cool and with the "in crowd" is
exactly why he is doing it. The long-term effects on the body by
smoking this drug has actually not yet to be realized, but it will end
up costing the taxpayer billions in medical expenses. But hey, let's
throw caution to the wind if it means getting elected.

the end.)
