Scarborough--Agincourt (Ontario)
The flyer refers to a Liberal party resolution stating marijuana should be
legalized because current enforcement policy “is not working.”
Resources spent on enforcement haven’t stopped young people from getting
access to the drug, so the party believes it’s best to focus resources on
regulation and education, as is done with tobacco, to try to discourage marijuana
use, said Chan, a lawyer.
Sales of marijuana to young people would still be illegal, as would trafficking,
under the Liberal plan.
“This is about taking the criminal element out” of the marijuana business, said
Chan, insisting he would not encourage people to smoke marijuana, a drug with
“serious health repercussions.”

"The current unregulated market has failed and produced violence,
stigma, and control by organized crime. Criminalization is not the answer.
Our marijuana laws need to be modernized and based on evidence and
public health principles. The government’s approach must seek to balance
prevention, public health and well-being, harm reduction, community
safety and public education. The federal government must also consult
and work with provincial, territorial, municipal and First Nations, Inuit and

“While the NDP continues to want the very scary carbon tax,
which would raise pumpkin prices and suck money out of the
pockets of Canadians, the Liberal leader is even more spooky.
He has a treat for potheads in his plan for legalizing
marijuana, very scary; no plan for the economy, very scary; no
plan for victims of crime, very scary; no plan for consumers,
very scary. Canadians are not tricked. However, the scariest
thing about the spooky Liberal leader, which even the count is

“The federal NDP has long advocated for the decriminalization of marijuana. We are
the only part that actually has a resolution and a policy for decriminalization. And, in
advocating that position, we understand that we need a drug policy that does not
primarily rely only on our legal system. We want Canada to build a workable policy on
marijuana that recognizes the failure of criminalizing people for their personal use.
...
The NDP continues to push the federal government to take steps to move marijuana out
of the criminal legal framework, and eliminate punitive measures for responsible adult
marijuana use. We believe that we must move forward to a discussion on the best
system of rules based on public health education. This includes establishing guidelines
about age and impaired driving and rules to tackle commercial grow-ops.”

"I feel no one should go to jail for possessing a couple of joints. I said exactly that
when I stood on the floor of the House of Commons and spoke about the omnibus crime
bill," he said.
"The Harper administration is imposing mandatory minimum sentences for as few as six
pot plants. I don't agree with that at all."
Cleary said he can't remember the last time he went to a social gathering where there
wasn't someone inside or outside smoking pot.
"It is part of our society now," he said.
"Decriminalization all the way. I am not for outright legalization at this point - one step
at a time."

candidates at age 41 and stands for the "next generation

"Not even a cigarette," said Clement, known even by
supporters to be more of an egghead than a pothead
despite his propensity for renegade rock music. "It's

"I am sorry, but in Canada, the vast majority of
the population does not consider having six
marijuana plants to be a major crime. People
expect there to be some tolerance in that
respect."

"How are the provinces and territories to deal with an influx of prisoners who are
sent to jail on mandatory minimums? Growing even six marijuana plants would
trigger an automatic six month sentence with an extra three months if it is done in
a rental unit, or is deemed a public safety hazard. According to Neil Boyd, a
criminologist at the Simon Fraser University, this legislation could increase the
proportion of marijuana criminals in B.C. jails from less than 5% to around 30%. Has
the government taken this into account? Is this the best use of our resources? Has
this been fully costed? Unfortunately, I think the answer is no."

NDP MP Rosane Doré Lefebvre said the current war on drugs
“is not working” and her party would not send anyone to jail for
having a small quantity of marijuana. “We are in favour of
prevention instead of the Conservative Party’s punitive
approach,” she said in an interview. “Something has to change
because the status quo is unacceptable.”
