Jack Layton Lies
I promised not to post about pot politics for a while, although I was and still am, very upset by the NDP’s cowardly treatment of their fine candidates, Dana Larsen and Kirk Tousaw. Like Pete of Drug War Rant points out, in the US, being seen on camera smoking marijuana didn’t hurt Arnie’s chances. What is wrong with Canadians when they treat two such fine activists so badly? My riding is a swing riding and I was considering voting for the NDP. They can forget it now! They may think the opinion of one lowly pot activist (me) means nothing but I can guarantee that I would have convinced a few people to hold their nose and vote for them. No way am I doing that now! Just look at this lying scrum with Jack Layton, who once went on POT-TV to promote his cannabis policies. I have said it before and I will say it again: There is nothing wrong with getting support from the cannabis community. Pot people are not criminals and have jobs and are not afraid to support good causes.
The Liberals join in with a really stupid press release demanding to know the connections between the Marijuana Party and the NDP. As if there aren’t a whole lot of pot activists within the Liberals. *cough* Boris St. Maurice *cough*
