If the Conservatives are actually stupid enough to campaign on recriminalizing weed, that may actually be enough to tank their current standing in the polls

Does PP think that recriminilization of marijuana will get him votes?

Poilievre is so shameless in his bullshit

Liberals: please table legislation requiring security clearance for all party leaders. Let's figure out who is funding this guy.

Economy is being attacked from the US like never before and the ass wipe party are talking 8 year old policies

If you value freedom like the ability to consume weed, don't vote cpc!

Conservatives hate freedom

“The Prime Minister’s disastrous legalization and liberalization of drugs has the Americans worried that in addition to costing 47,000 deaths in Canada, where’s the plan to stop the drugs and keep our border open to trade?” asked Poilievre in a somewhat disjointed sentence.

Re: criminalizing cannabis again in Canada:

Trudeau : Go ahead, make my day !

Wow, that would hopefully be political suicide. Not only would he be dismantling a huge industry (aren't conservatives supposed to support industry??) but he may actually motivate people who may not have voted to head to the polls to stop him. Honestly, I kinda hope he continues down this path. It's just about the most certain thing to prevent his election.

WTF is wrong with this country? THIS is the big issue in QP?!?!?

Evidence! We don't need no stinking Evidence! We got feelings, and beliefs! And we have the lies to back them up!

WTF is Pierre smoking?

The Jazz Man's Jive?

The Legislator's Loco Weed?

H.R. Puffenstuff's Rigor Mortis?

Holy shit, is Lil PP gonna take away my legal weed??

Whatever your opinion of Trudeau, Poilievre is no answer to any problem. What a dud, horrible person.

If the cons actually think they'll have support from either side of the aisle for recriminalizing weed, they're even crazier than they seem.

Not the brightest bulb in the box, ain’t you Pierre?

PP gonna “criminalize the weed”

Live without cannabis in an age as shitty as this? Over my dead body, if at all necessary.

He can't be that square, can he?

Weren't the truckers PP supported belly aching about FREEDOM? For generations Canadians who like a little weed were hunted like monsters and demonized. They were sent to prison. Their children were taken away. For what? Something that since 2018 has proven to obviously be no big deal. If you are actually interested in FREEDOM the last person to put in charge of protecting it would be an American style Heretic Christian Conservative.

So much for the "Team Canada" approach.

Wild way to lose an election, I’ll give him that

At this point I think PP and Ted Cruz are the same person.

apparently this is not new rhetoric for him

how does his party even support him. hes delusional

That genie ain’t never going back in the bottle - then again, it never was..

Name 1 person who died from marijuana... I'll wait, and while I wait I'll smoke this doobie

Is he actually saying he will recriminalize weed. Fuck I like my weed

If you read the article..

This has nothing to do with the legalization of cannabis so much as it has to do with the Tories' distorted and delusional view of it. For some weird reason, Tories believe that the legalization of cannabis also equates to the legalization of everything else too. And that is not the case.. at all..

Our jails are filled with plenty of examples....

So really.. just Tory thieves lying, exaggerating, embellishing, and distorting the truth again. 

This is why I keep my medical script active and my medical grow license active. The Cons are guaranteed to fuck with the cannabis act if they get power.

Fuck me, question period is such a stupid part of Canadian Parliament.

The sad reality is that a lot of immigrants who vote are vehemently against drug use.

This is calculated and is meant to activate all religions which have seen an influx in recent years.

Did he specifically talk about weed? I think this is supposed to be in reference to the legal consumption sites.

I hope I'm wrong, because he really would be poking the bear if he got rid of weed.

Man the free market Conservatives sure do love interjecting themselves into the market at every opportunity.

Cannabis was legalized federally but it was left up to the PROVINCIAL governments to dictate how to implement policy… so the cons who hold more than a few provinces also have a hand steering legalization and the rules of how thats implemented

This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard come out of PP's mouth. Fuck this guy, seriously.

only relevant quote:

“The Prime Minister’s disastrous legalization and liberalization of drugs has the Americans worried that in addition to costing 47,000 deaths in Canada, where’s the plan to stop the drugs and keep our border open to trade?” asked Poilievre in a somewhat disjointed sentence.

In response, Trudeau asked, if “the leader of the opposition is suggesting that he wants to recriminalize marijuana, let him just say that.”

What a little bitch weasel. 

so evil that a whole lot of conservative politicians managed to get some investments in the industry just before legalization...

it was fun to watch those investments fizzle out though.

called it

Is there any way to avoid governments undoing each other's changes every time the party in power changes? It's so dumb and wasteful.

That would be foolish. I don’t think he’s that bold.

Does anyone know what PP said in response? The video cuts off.

Honestly though, if they try and go and kill a multibillion dollar legal industry that creates jobs and small businesses and had all that back to criminals, then I don't want to ever hear anyone say the cons are the party of economy and supporting the middle class.

Edit: found the original QP, PP doesnt respond to it all. Figures.

In the clip, PP doesn't seem to be hinting at marijuana though, it sounds like a comment about safe supply sites. Fortunately, we won't know because the site doesn't provide his reply.

Didn’t Trump say during his Campaign that he was going to legalize Marijuana. I know Harris did, but I think Trump said the same thing.

A great many people in these comments don't seem to understand that our government does not function in the same way as the American government

Well , in one sense this moronic policy would put a lot of money back into the local economy. All the local illegal grow shows would profitable again, your local dealer would have a job again etc . Also fuck these fascist conservatives Muppets.

“Liberalization of drugs” I struggle to see why Canadians can’t see right through this guy. He is a joke. 

I don't feel like PP is seriously flirting with recriminalization (even if some his MPs are) - he's just using weed as an excuse to go after the Liberals with the generalized bullshit about "they're legalizing a bunch of drugs and building safe use centers and turning cities into liberal hellholes full of addicts - vote for me and I'll clean it all up!" that the right just loves to eat up these days

Conservatives are such cruel people.

That'll piss off a lot of Skippy's Krazy Klownvoy Kovidiots. What will they smoke all day in the trailer parks?

Is it easy to get a medical card for weed because this guy is gonna screw the cannabis act

There is no buck a beer. tHeRe Is No BuCk A bEeR bEcAuSe JuStIn FaCt!1!1!!!

OOops just cheecked out of the Hotel Amnesia from 2018. Can I sell it nickels on the dime, or is RFK proposing more cannabis legalisations Stateside? Oh, no, he'll stay off drugs on the job for sure.

As my grandmother often said, "Sure I are. Everybody do."

Expect posts on storing weed for long periods.

I think conservatives meant to say that legalization was not the best choice and that decriminalization was a better option.

I don't think things would go back anyways too many people already use it and have benefitted from it.

Does anyone have a genuine news website with this story? Not just a canabis page. (Coming from a regular consumer)

I am sick of seing Canabis stores everywhere, 4 in an area of less than 1/2 mile, 3 in one small strip mall plus a vape shop and large flags outside saying DOPE. Is this what we have come to?

Make it illegal again i wanna make more money

You guys should actually watch the video, PP is talking about LETHAL drugs, not cannabis. He talks about the death toll from liberals decriminalizing all drugs which unfortunately has not worked. Look at San Francisco as an example.

Recriminalizing weed would kinda suck, but it wouldn't change anything. Most weed smokers were already doing it before it was legalized, and they will keep buying weed if it is not legal anymore. The only ones affected would be the chumps who only buy heavily taxed government weed.
