It's never not anymore - it's just the final step to making it actually law. The head of government can't actually request it be not either, once it passes both parliament and senate royal assent is assured. Depends, they actually need to write the legislation etc., campaign promises are just that- promises - rarely are all promises enacted. Trudeau already walked back his promise on electoral reform - so there is a likely cost come election time if you say you'll do something and don't.
Goddamn Canukistan! Aren't they nice enough already? Now with a bunch of high Canadians, they'll be unbearable. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-brief...unces-bill-to-fully-legalize-marijuana-report Trudeau introduces bill to fully legalize marijuana in Canada
Canada is just humiliating the USA every day with class and style while we're busy eating our own boogers and flinging steaming shit at the nurses.
Although Vancouver Whitecaps fans bring y'all down a couple of rungs. STADIUM ANNOUNCER: "Whitecaps goal scored by ..." VANCOUVER FANS: (player) STADIUM ANNOUNCER: "Thank you!" VANCOUVER FANS: "You're welcome."
Sessions is chirping a lot about how he's going to restart the drug war in an effort to imprison more black people. He's an extraordinarily evil human who's been handed extraordinary power.
Luckily he is also part of an extraordinarily inept administration. They fired all the attorneys and have not yet named anybody to replace them.
Not lucky. Sessions doesn't need U.S. Attorneys to fight the Drug War, he needs DEA agents and cooperative police, all of which are in place.
Who will prosecute people for Federal Crimes? Granted, you could just put people away and let them rot in jail but I suspect that he also needs some formal legal tools to enforce the policies he wants enforced. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...orneys-justice-department-20170418-story.html U.S. attorneys, who prosecute federal crimes from state offices around the nation, are critical to implementing an attorney general's law enforcement agenda. Both the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations gradually eased out the previous administration's U.S. attorneys while officials sought new ones. Sessions said that until he has his replacements, career acting U.S. attorneys "respond pretty well to presidential leadership." But former Justice Department officials say that acting U.S. attorneys do not operate with the same authority when interacting with police chiefs and other law enforcement executives. "It's like trying to win a baseball game without your first-string players on the field," said former assistant attorney general Ronald Weich, who ran the Justice Department's legislative affairs division during Obama's first term.
Federal crimes happen all the time. Someone is handling those. They can also prosecute drug crimes. As for authority interacting with police chiefs, most police chiefs seem to be all for the Drug War, so I don't see that as a problem (from racist Jeff Sessions' POV).
Vermont's Governor vetoes bill to legalize marijuana. Burlington Free Press Link and ya know what I kind of agree with him, the bill doesn't set up any commercial avenue for the sale of the product, which in my opinion doesn't get pot smokers out of where they shouldn't be to begin with, that being the black market. Sure it allows for people to grow their own but most won't go that route but keep going through questionable avenues to procure their smoke. I really do think more states should follow the Colorado seed to sale oversight route.
Paging people that said that Killary was in for the War on Drugs probably as much as Trump. And it's almost 4:20 Eastern US Time.
My comment was strictly tongue-in-cheek. Brownstain would never, ever, consider mirroring our neighbor to the west.
Well.. I didn't see this one coming, but I'm guessing Boehner saw the money rolling into marijuana companies and jumped at the opportunity. https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/11/politics/boehner-cannabis-company-board/index.html
Here is a 100million! high school I worked on in the booming desert East of Denver. Guess where Colorado gets all this infrastructure money? Illinois needs to get in before the regional monopolies dry up. This school has electric snowmelt at the handicap access entrance.
Colorado teachers are the next set to go on strike for more pay. That surprises me due to the legal weed.
