Justin Trudeau

Justin Trudeau: At a rally in Kelowna, B.C., on Sunday, Trudeau said he is no longer in favour of just decriminalizing cannabis, according to CTV. On Thursday, Trudeau repeated the sentiment to reporters at an event in Vancouver, according to the Globe and Mail , saying that he has evolved in my own thinking, after reading the latest research on the topic and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says legalizing marijuana is the only way to keep the drug out of the hands of children, and while the comments repeat similar statements from earlier this year, they made headlines across the country Thursday and provoked a strong rebuke from the Conservatives. I m actually in favour of legalizing it; tax and regulate it, Trudeau said to cheers from the crowd. Its one of the only ways to keep it out of the hands of our kids, because the current war on drugs, the current model, is not working. We have to use evidence and science to make sure that we re moving forward on that. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
