Harper Government loses it's mind,Again

I never really thought that even THIS bunch of neocons would have the nerve to introduce legislation to begin mandatory minimum sentences for drug crimes in Canada.Today they announced the most draconian drug legislation I've seen since the 60's.The bill was focused entirely on enforcement and included mandatory minimum sentences for a variety of drug crimes.That marijuana was mentioned at all was a shock.The fact is,pot was the focus of the majority of the bill and although they trumpeted organized crime as their true focus,no-one with a brain will trust them on that.This was just announced today ,so i don't have the details.I'll fill this in tomorrow ,when the papers hit the street.
