JUST A TAX GRAB

It seems like Hallowe'en every time the Liberals disguise the truth
with their announcements. Witness the marijuana moneymaker.

Do you think Ontario's Tax Queen (Kathleen Wynne) is rushing to
establish distribution policy for the safety of our children?
Balderdash. This program has the potential to be one of the largest
tax grabs in Canadian history. Politicians have two primary
objectives: acquiring new tax revenues and votes. This program
accomplishes both.

But there is a darker side. If you think there's an issue with
distracted driving now, imagine the double whammy from being high.
There are already plenty of laws to prevent drunk driving, but the
problems continue.

Lives will be sacrificed. Sadly, in today's political environment,
power and profit take precedence over people.
