The conservatives are going to "get tougher" on drugs, when all the research shows that prohibition does not work. Prohibition leads to greater corruption. Prohibition leads to greater criminality. Prohibition has been tried and tested and we know it is a failure. I guess once the conservatives have found a failing policy; staying the course is how they like to do things. More people in jail, more crime to justify their law and order agenda. Little to no thought that their own failed policies cause the problems they say they want to stop. One fascinating bit of information to come out of this interview is that David Tilson Member of Parliament for the ruling Conservative Party of Canada thinks we are at war in Afghanistan because of Afghanistans drug industry. What is so incredibly fascinating about that is; 1) Canada's military is not taking any concrete action to eliminate the drug production in Afghanistan. 2) the Taliban has just about eliminated poppy production before our invasion. So that means Canada's military is in Afghanistan to ensure the world opium supply is stable?
