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.

Dion is not a leader – Senate Edition 01
Posted by kaqchikel under Misc
[10] Comments
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?

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.
