LEGALIZED WEED WILL UNLEASH THE DEMONS OF HELL

It would have been better for most Canadians, and our country, if The
Orangeville Banner had not printed what police Chief Wayne Kalinski
had to say about legal pot in the Sept. 29 edition.

Both articles, but especially one of his comments on the front page,
indirectly give Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal
government the green light to continue going forward with their
nationally destructive efforts to legalize marijuana.

Even though the chief said he is "not in favour" of legalizing
marijuana, at the same time the paper does not say or show that he
offers any strong serious resistance to it being legalized.

If Trudeau gets his reckless way here, against the will of the
majority of Canadians again and, if pot becomes legal, it will be
giving an invitation to the devil himself and to his demons to break
loose more hell in our country Canada, and then into the U.S.

Before Prime Minister Trudeau came on to the political scene last
year, Canadian and American authorities were struggling with illicit
drugs, but were still able to keep marijuana from spreading to new
growers, new sellers, and especially new users. The police were able
to keep some law and order by keeping the weed from getting out of
control.

But if that brain and body numbing substance becomes legal... then the
majority of Canadians can kiss their peace and freedoms goodbye. The
police will not be able to stop the increase of violence, suicides,
suffering, and vehicle accident fatalities that legal pot will surely
cause, even if the police do get good roadside machines to test
marijuana in someone's system.

Plus, the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police recommendations, to
the Ontario government, are only going to encourage Trudeau and the
federal Liberals even more with their pot plans, no matter who stands
against it.

What is stopping our Ontario police from focusing more on doing their
best to help prevent trouble they can see developing, rather than
waiting until it happens. Crime prevention is always easier and less
expensive on people than having to find a remedy afterward. Besides,
legal pot will require hiring many more officers to try and keep some
control. That will require a much larger police budget which the
province certainly cannot afford.
