NDP leader Jack Layton denies that he had a deal with Marc Emery’s BC Marijuana Party to join forces, but he’s on video saying that he supports ending penalties for having, growing or selling marijuana: www.youtube.com On September 20, 2008, his spokesperson Brad Lavigne told the Canadian Press: “Lavigne acknowledged the NDP has long advocated, and continues to advocate, decriminalization of simple possession of small amounts of marijuana, but said that does not extend to trafficking or grow ops.” Talk about a confusing message. Repeal of possession laws, while leaving cultivation and trafficking laws in place, only helps organized crime. So what is the NDP’s position on ending the failed war on drugs? It’s about as clear as mud as Layton demonstrated in this scrum following a rally in Edmonton, Alberta.

For a century and a half, Canada’s Senate has been unelected and unaccountable. Unelected members can sit in the Senate for up to 45 years. It’s time to make Senators accountable to Canadians. But the Senate is stacked with a big Liberal majority. They don’t want change. They like things just as they are. They say they’re entitled to their jobs. That’s why Senate Liberals are delaying passage of S-4, the Conservative Government’s bill to cap Senate terms at eight years. Will the Senate ever change? Will Stéphane Dion ever be a leader?
