The NDP needs to grow a pair
The NDP did not stand behind their candidates when they were being smeared based on their past open drug use on POT-TV. They got rid of Dana Larsen and Kirk Tousaw because of their connections to Marc Emery, the BC Marijuana Party and the drug policy reform community. Dana Larsen is the founder of eNDProhibition, a drug policy reform group within the NDP that calls for the end of the drug war. This group has done wonderful work getting the word out that the drug war is an important issue to all Canadian voters. Now what are we going to do? I don’t see how any self-respecting cannabis consumer could ever support them again.
Now the Liberals are flinging their monkey poo and demanding to know the NDP connections to the cannabis culture. They make it sound like they have something to be embarrassed about. Of course they took money from drug policy reform activists. There are many people living in Canada that are upset about the drug war and they vote. They also have jobs and put their money where their mouth is by donating to good causes, like political campaigns. I won’t be giving the NDP my money any time soon. I better stay out of politics, before I get contaminated.
You know, I didn’t want to turn this into drug blog but here I am ranting on my internet soap box about the unfairness of this smear campaign. Not happy. After this rally is over today, I promise to write about something else. No really, maybe I will take a picture of cute puppies and kittens and post that instead.
