1081...Liberal Voice Of Reason

RCMP Supt. Pierre Perron appeared in front of the house of sober second thought, the Senate of Canada and, with a straight face, stated that the street value of drugs seized by Canadian cops last year topped $2.4 billion.

I suppose but cops value drugs the same way 7/11 values groceries as in they drastically inflate the prices. Drastically. I always say that bullsh*t is to be divided by half and half of 2.4 is 1.2 and 1.2 is a f*$k of a lot of dope.

The story in the Globe and Mail indicates that Russell Barth's fave drug, the wicked weed, is still number one with a bullet accounting for 75% of seizures.

The Tories as you know are trying to bring in United States style drug laws, laws that have worked so very well in the States which as you know are pretty much sans narcotics now. Bill C-15 would impose tougher sentences for drug offences, including marijuana production and would make it more costly to get caught dealing, using or growing bringing a nice element of WTF to the relatively benign business of marijuana.

Not to mention costing you more money for prisons, policing and police toys.

Liberal Sen. George Baker suggested the bill would be a big drain on police resources. "This is a massive intrusion in your budgets," he said.

Sense, this makes too much sense for the Conservatives.
