JUST WRONG

Re "Blair cops to political ambitions" (Kevin Connor and Joe 
Warmington, April 27): Complete shocker that someone with the 
integrity displayed by former police chief Bill Blair his entire 
career would announce he was going to attempt to win the Liberal 
nomination and then run in a riding in which he has never lived. Then 
he follows that up with turning his back on police brethren 
nationwide by proclaiming he's in favour of legalizing marijuana. A 
man who not only ran Toronto's drug squad, but trained other drug 
enforcement officers in other jurisdictions. Perhaps he should have 
taken some time to decide his next career move. Jumping into bed with 
Junior Trudeau just seems so wrong on so many levels.

(Blair never claimed he lived in the riding and since he's no longer 
the police chief he can say what he likes. We agree the fact his 
statement on legalizing pot came mere hours after his retirement as 
chief was jarring.)
