Do You Care That Justin Trudeau Smoked Pot As A MP?

[bazokajoe]

I never smoked that stinking smelling and disgusting plant.

+1,so thats 2 of us here.

Yes, it is against the law. Some may think it's a stupid law, but if I have to obey them, he fucking does, too. And I would never vote for someone stupid enough to admit that he broke the law.

Relaxxxxxxxx.... smoke a joint.

No need. Haven't done so in over 35 years. Don't enjoy at all.

I'm more concerned with how no one is noting how this "brave candid admission" (not) is a transparent grab for the hipster yoot vote the Knee-dippers stole from the libs.

no one is concerned , because your premise is skewered and in my opinion dead wrong....also your put down of the 18 to 30 crowd is puerile and condescending...this demographic is probably more interested in jobs, repaying student loans and affordable housing.....actually he may instead be appealing to aging hipsterswho thinks weed was invented by them in the 60, lol..

 

[5hummer]

He's got my vote! :thumb:

Harper smoke dick

you gotta be kidding...right?

 

[Piratos]

Keep smoking. I only care if it keeps a few law abiding liberals from voting for him.

sarcasm my son, sarcasm..

 

[canada-man]

at a liberal convention Trudeau was against legalizing pot

Was this before or after he had a few joints ?

 

[oil&gas]

Not that it matters but wasn't Justin's mom a druggie too? Didn't
Maggie as the former first lady smuggle drugs in the PM's luggage?
Smoking pot could be in his genes.

Didn't you know? 40 is the new 20. At any rate, just because you may have some nits to pick about what is and isn't the vote being pandered to does not mean my premise is skewered [sic]. About 60 percent of Canadians want pot to be legalized, and if you think Trudeau's "admission" was anything other than a cynical ploy to gain support, I wanna try some of what you've been smoking!



edited to add this quote from the Liberal Party of Canada's own policy paper on legalization of marijuana:

"NDP supporters were the most likely to say they were for easing of current laws (71%), followed by Liberal supporters (64%) and Conservative supporters (59%)"

...told you it was the knee-dipper vote they were trying to steal back.

 

[elmo]

He is.

And I think the strategy he is following to reinvent the party is to say all the things everybody knows are true, that everybody says at the pub, but nobody said at the political level before. Like, "almost everybody in Canada has smoked pot at least once".

I think it is a good strategy.

He spoke out against it and has not introduced legislation to legalize it...seems like a fart in the wind to me.

fuji?

I dislike Justin Trudeau for a whole host of reasons. His admission that he smoked pot does not impress me. First, the admission is just a calculated political gambit to try to demonstrate that he is hip and to demonstrate his "honesty". Second, as someone whose day job is, in part, to draft legislation, he should not be breaking the law - regardless of whether he (or I) think that law is foolish.

As opposed to Harpers honesty?

you mean he hasn't introduced legislation in his role as a member of the opposition since he started talking about this topic during the summer break. damn his eyes

Do you care?

No, as long as he passes the dutchie on the left hand side.

Possession is a criminal offense.

But about consuming only, no possession at all, what's the offense under the criminal law?

If somebody passes you a joint and you're holding it, that is possession.
