This seems too good to be true..I'm skeptical of the gov't getting this right ...Fingers are crossed though!!
I mean as a Canadian I think we needed a change, but the new guy is always a breath of fresh air, especially when it's been conservatives for 10 years. I'm gonna wait until the honeymoon rose colored glasses phase of politics is over before I pass too much judgment on the guy.
me too cause there's other things he's pushing that I don't like and I'd rather not say cause it would start too many opinions
My city is currently going through a massive decline due to the lack of oil sales and the fact that our oil isn't worth pulling out of the ground.. This place is gonna be a ghost town in 10 years.
Canada marijuana legalization emphasized in Liberal agenda \t\t\t\t\t\t Published: Dec 4, 2015, 8:00 pm Comments (1) By Charmaine Noronha, Associated Press TORONTO- Canada's new Liberal government again promised Friday to legalize marijuana in a speech outlining its agenda as Parliament resumes after the Oct. 19 election. A speech delivered by Gov. Gen. David Johnston reiterated new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's plan to legalize and regulate the recreational use of marijuana. It is a position Trudeau has held since becoming leader of the Liberal Party in 2013. However, for the first time, the government said it will restrict access to marijuana but did not elaborate. Trudeau has said that legalizing marijuana would fix a “failed system†and help remove the “criminal element†linked to the drug. He also has said Canadians would benefit from analyzing the experiences of Colorado and Washington state, which recently legalized pot. The speech also expanded on five themes that were central to the Liberals' election victory, which ended the near-decade-long Conservation Party's reign. The speech reiterated Trudeau's pledge to cut the tax rate for middle-income earners and provide a more generous child benefit to those who need it, paid for by a tax hike on the wealthiest 1 percent. It also promised significant new investment in infrastructure to boost Canada's stagnant economy. Trudeau, who just returned from the climate conference in Paris, promised to continue working with provinces to put a price on carbon, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and introduce a new environmental assessment process. The speech also indicated that the new government would create a new relationship with aboriginal governments and people. It promised to implement the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission on residential schools, where aboriginal children were abused and stripped of their native culture and language between the 1880s and 1996, when the last school closed. The government also promised to launch an inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women.
