HAS OUR HEALTH MINISTER NO SHAME?

WHAT A great article by Kevin Martin! ("Pot crusade burning issue," Sept.
2). They put Grant Krieger in jail just as Rosa Parks was jailed a few
years ago for refusing to surrender her seat at the back of the bus. Well,
she has now been awarded the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honour. Perhaps
Krieger will be awarded Canada's Freedom Medal one day. Compare the example
of courage he sets with the posturing of our health minister! Allan Rock
now wants 'more time' to look into the most investigated drug of the past
century! Has our health minister no shame?
