In a thinly veiled attempt to adopt an American policy towards drug control Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his “Conservative” government are leading Canada, yet again in a direction it would rather not go.
Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper is calling for a cultural shift with Bill C-26, to be enforced by what his political opponents are calling an American-style war on drugs.
