"Much work remains, but it will all be worth it and is something the Canadian public deserves."

The Charter of Rights & freedoms isn't predicted on what Canadians "deserve." These are inalienable rights, guaranteed in a legal document to all Canadians. You go to Burger King when you "deserve" a burger, or McDonald's when you "deserve" a break.

It is with this sort of lord/vassal relationship that neoliberalists are fond of describing their vision of the new world order. Don't buy it. If Canadians are expecting the legal MJ regime to be amply distributed, fairly priced with clean, non-toxic MJ they will be disappointed. But perhaps unexpected will be new extraordinary police powers enshrining everything from: pulling you over without cause, seizing your car, to searching your kids' lockers, backpacks and persons with impunity; and seizing property from illicit producers/vendors under the aegis of "civil forfeiture."

You deserve more, Canada! Demand it from your MP today!
