The man who allegedly broke (oh let’s get real: he even admits it) American criminal law in the U.S. using the internet; the Canadian convicted criminal; the man who has made it his ever-so-noble life goal to get people to smoke drugs; the pot-smoking activist and Canadian liberal hero Marc Emery who was just recently released from a 3-month jail sentence on a pot-smoking-related criminal offence in Canada and has been convicted ten other times—-gets more positive ink than the victims and families of real Canadian heroes—police officers—who died in the name of duty to their country and its dying tradition of law and order, often trying to bust operators of marijuana grow-ops and other related criminal activity.
Surviving families speak out and demand changes—like tougher pot-smoking laws—and they get scarcely a sanctimonious mention in the media. It’s not a liberal position, you see.
This is the whole article—in contradistinction to the massive multi-page features that have run and will no doubt continue to run about Marc Emery who wants to make it easier for the kids in Canada to get high on drugs, which is a liberal-left position:
Families of slain Mounties press Ottawa to get tough on drugs, violent crime
OTTAWA (CP) – The families of four RCMP officers slain in Mayerthorpe, Alta., last spring say similar tragedies could happen again unless the federal government gets tough on crime.
The families want tougher sentences for people who run marijuana grow operations. They’re also calling on the Liberal government to abandon its plan to decriminalize simple possession of pot and they want tougher parole criteria for violent criminals to keep them off the streets.
The demands were outlined by Don Schiemann, a Lutheran pastor whose son Peter was among the four officers gunned down by James Roszko, who killed himself after ambushing the Mounties at his farm.
The families say they’ll make their proposals an issue in the next federal election.
Schiemann says if Ottawa doesn’t act and more police officers die, their blood will be on the hands of federal politicians.
The headline said “Ottawa”, and Schiemann said “federal politicians”. But of course the elephant in the room is that it’s precisely the leftists in the Liberal Party and the NDP and the Bloc Quebecois who are alone in favour of making it easier for our kids to get high on drugs by simply relaxing or abandoning laws rather than upholding law and order. They alone think that kind of “progressive” move will somehow advance Canada and attract the best and brightest to this country. The Conservative Party has come out quite clearly against such a thing. This was not mentioned in the article. The Conservative position is—get this—not a liberal position, see, and yet it makes sense and is the right position, so they waste no ink on that nonsense.
