Connie’s speech as President of the Canadian Action Party

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.

Canada’s national debt is now growing exponentially. Unfunded liabilities such as CPP, OAS and Medicare have risen 25% since 2000. This situation is quickly getting out of hand. Debt levels are at historic highs. While each of our political parties trip over each other to spend more. This must stop now!!! Canada cannot continue to steal from her grandchildren. Every newborn Canadian is given an important gift from the moment of birth. The gift of debt passed on by those before them. Over $75000 of debt. (according to the Fraiser Institute’s “Canadian Government Debt 2008 – A Guide to the Indebtedness of Canada and the Provinces) This puts the average family of four in debt over $300000. Not for an education, a home or a business. No, they owe this massive debt because of decisions made by governments before them. All the major parties are guilty, The Liberals, The NDP and The Conservatives, of increasing spending, of increasing government and of generational theft. Now is the time for real change. Now is the time for a new voice.

Jack Layton, leader of the NDP party, joins The Jack Layton got into federal politics in 2003, when he was elected leader of the NDP. And while he was new to Ottawa, Layton wasn’t a political rookie, he had already cut his teeth as a city councillor for nearly 20 years. He was a voice on the left of local Toronto politics who worked in the fight against AIDS, opposed Toronto’s bid for the 96′ Olympics and helped create the White Ribbon Campaign to stop violence against women. As leader of the NDP in Ottawa he’s run in two federal elections and played a big role in the House of Commons. But Layton wants more – he wants to be Prime Minister.
