1966...They Didn't Really Say This, Did They?

Dave Breakenridge of QMI Agency writes this morning about the non movement on the marijuana decriminalization front.

As expected our law and order PM, Stephen Harper, had this to say: "The reason drugs are illegal is because they are bad."

To be expected from a fact phobic politician.

But what Mr. Breakenridge wrote about the Next Prime Minister of Canada was a bit off putting:

Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff, who as an Ivy League egghead probably saw enough trust fund babies find success while doing far worse than smoking pot, laughably told a group of high school kids they're practically pointing a loaded gun at their heads by lighting up a "marijuana cigarette." The least these two supposedly smart men could try to offer, in defending their positions on the matter, is some actual intelligent debate, rather than talking to Canadians as if they were their pre-teen children. It's one thing to offer a kid a rote response, but adults deserve better.


Seriously, WTF.
