snoboy Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Guess you folks haven't heard about the latest political shenanigans here, have you? There was a bill on the order paper that would have decriminalized possesion of small amounts of pot. However, parliament just recessed for the winter, and when it returns, we will have a new prime minister. The new man, Paul Martin, is viewed as friendlier towards the US administration, and hence there is talk that he will not revive the bill in question.

Isn't it true that regardless of the political goings-on, the consensus of the constabulary is to look the other way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it true that regardless of the political goings-on, the consensus of the constabulary is to look the other way? Not just the constablulary - although you're right they've been turning a blind eye to simple possession - the Judiciary are the ones that prompted the new legislation, by telling Parliament that the existing possession laws were basically null and void. Rather than leave it completely undefined and unregulated, the proposed legislation was going to at least establish the limits for simple possession, and prescribe small penalties. Now that it has died on the order paper with Parliament being prorogued, there is essentially no law at all governing simple possession. Presumably Paul Martin will want to bring in something to fill that legislative vacuum, but it's unclear just how far he'll go to suck up to the "Reefer Madness" crowd in Washington. He won the leadership in large part by promising the back-bench MPs that they'll have far more say in setting the legislative agenda, more input at the committee stages, and more free votes. The same back-benchers are solidly in favour of decriminalizing simple possession, and they're going to hold him to his promises about responding to their concerns, so he's going to have to choose sides - is he the Prime Minister of Canada, or an employee of the DEA?
