Steven Harper+youtube

link plz (if you got one.)

 

If you go to 420.com they have a story up about this and it also has a video i believe

 

found it... and found a direct link to the page in question

YouTube - Kanaal van TalkCanada

now, all we gotta do is hope that youtube and their cronies don't decide to pussy out and "forget" to ask even one of the MANY, highly popular questions regarding Cannabis

 

Marijuana legalization has owned the podium on harper's youtube stunt.
We took the top 4 spots! The Canadian media has already discounted the marijuana questions as the work of "crazies and yahoos" from "special interest groups". You can watch a discussion on the subject from CBC's the National, CBC News - The National - At Issue

Harper is probably going to ignore the questions just like Obama did. He copied Obama's idea so I see no reason why he won't respond the same way.

Whatever happens we got the top 4 questions and hundreds of others. That kind of blows a hole in the Conservative party's claim that their anti-pot bill is "urgently needed and strongly supported by Canadians"

Check out his response tonight at 7pm ET. YouTube - TalkCanada

 

close... but not quite. Andrew Coyne seems to be the only person in the interview on the national that held the view of the whole process being hijacked by yahoos... Peter Mansbridge, Allen Gregg and Chantel Herbert all seemed to take much more moderate views and Mansbridge even responded to Coyne's comment to clarify (in a sense) that the disdain should be directed not at the CBC or the National since it wasn't either of those groups that made the comments but Coyne himself.

if anything is to be boycotted because of this (which it seems is the vein this is running in) it should be Maclean's magazine since that is the company which Coyne represents (since he's the national editor.)

after watching the video, it seems that the rest of the people were rather informed and moderate in their views and remained impartial (which is what news imo should be.) jumping off the handle and getting all riled up at people that (to me) seem innocent of the jab won't really help much, it'll just make some of us look like reactionaries that can't be arsed to research and remain impartial.

 

ReallyRed who said anything about a boycott? Settle down buddy. I just wanted to share that discussion with the community.

Coyne may be the only one who called us yahoos but nobody stepped up to bat in our defense. That was one example of how the mainstream media brushes off the marijuana issue, they usually just laugh about it or make some stupid joke.

Lets hope we get some media attention after the speech. Harper has delayed his response but we'll be hearing from him tonight.
