UNCHECKED CRIME

Stephen Harper claims to be tough on crime and is attacking other 
parties for their relaxed views about marijuana.

Yet, illegal pot dispensaries have been flourishing in Canada for a 
couple of years now, with no move by Health Canada to shut them down.

These dispensaries are supposed to be selling medical marijuana to 
people with a prescription. However, if you go into one with no 
prescription, you can talk to an out-of-province doctor (name and 
number supplied by the dispensary) on the phone with your made-up 
medical complaint and he will fax you a prescription then and there.

The marijuana being supplied by these dispensaries is also being 
grown illegally, yet there is, again, little effort made to stop 
these industrial sized grow ops.

Why is Health Canada doing nothing to shut down this illegal 
business? Why is the RCMP doing nothing? How can Harper continue to 
insist he's the one who is tough on crime?
