The Trudeau Debate

Thanks for posting this.
The second author sounds like it was written by RIU member particle (that's a compliment particle).

I think the change in attitude from the USA and the rest of the world is a big factor this time round. I think the Liberals do need a majority to get anything done, and the Conservative dominated senate is a concern for sure.
I really think there is some sincerity from the Liberals on this issue.
RIU member particle I think is correct....make sure you keep the Liberals accountable. Demand action. Don't take any excuses...get legislation to the Senate!

Perhaps NDP and Conservative voters can push their parties to change their policies? I have a hard time understanding why the NDP are not onboard.

Thanks for the warning/compliment. For the record, I think the NDP are on easy street saddling that fence while the other factions can play out whatever extremes. They'll catch all the middle ground just by avoiding it (and then split the vote). But the fact is that right now the Libs are kind of avoiding it too and they've nothing more concrete on the table or at all different than do the NDP.

I also think that what applies to the Libs should apply equally to the NDP where this is concerned. They should BOTH be under constant pressure, every fucking day from now until the election at the very least, to get what we need. But right now, it's not even being discussed, because apparently everyone is certain that it already has, so there's no need for it to be. That's fucked up double think, and it leads to activists once again partying the defeat away like it's a victory. How well that has worked for us so far.

I think it would be incredible if con party supporters who are in support of legalization would push their "representatives" too! Too incredible to even entertain, but incredible never the less.

Harper could still allow a minimal "5" plant domestic grow limit for whatever reason, like necessarily legitimizing the mmpr, and leave trudeau sucking it just prior to the election. Having no platform of their own publicly familiar already to push back with, he'll be left sucking it for certain in the event that does happen.
