DEMOCRATIC DICTATORSHIP

Re: 'Outraged' By The Supreme Court, June 12. Are the justices of the 
Supreme Court of Canada stepping over their judicial limitations? 
Never before in the history of Canada has any of them been able to 
declare any drug safe for medicinal purposes without the formal 
authorization to market or distribute a medicine without a notice of 
compliance issued by Health Canada. The court's recent approval of 
the marijuana drug sales without the approval of Health Canada is a 
strange phenomenon indeed. It strikes me more like a democratic 
dictatorship then anything else. Is there anyone who holds these 
judges accountable and how? One can only wonder just who runs the 
country - the government or the Supreme Court judges.
