CBC News: U.S. warns Canada against easing pot laws 'Murray tried to express the feeling in the U.S. that looser drug laws go hand-in-hand with an increase in crime and drug addiction among youth, and used some apocalyptic language to do it. [...]

Murray said Canada's reputation in the global community would be forever altered if it decided to decriminalize pot.

In fact, many countries, notably in Europe, have already decriminalized marijuana, but none of them share a border with the U.S., where the policy is zero tolerance for smoking pot.'

We're laughing at you . . .

Impatient Justice - Congratulations. We've just won the wrong war. By William Saletan 'Remember Saddam's weapons of mass destruction?the ones whose concealment justified the invasion of Iraq? A week ago, the Washington Post reported that 38 days after entering Iraq, the United States had "yet to find weapons of mass destruction at any of the locations that Secretary of State Colin L. Powell cited in his key presentation to the U.N. Security Council in February." We hadn't even "produced Iraqi scientists with evidence about them." The only thing Bush said we had learned from interrogating Saddam's scientists was that "perhaps he destroyed some, perhaps he dispersed some."' [Daypop Top 40]

canada.com: U.S. says Canada cares too much about liberties "Also, Canadian laws and regulations intended to protect Canadian citizens and landed immigrants from government intrusion sometimes limit the depth of investigations."
Gosh, we hate to disappoint US authorities but we Canucks don't live in a police state. We don't have a 'Patriot Act'. We don't have a nimrod leader running around trying to keep his population afraid so that he and his buddies can trample all over our rights and freedoms.

Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | With pot and porn outstripping corn, America's black economy is flying high 'Despite laws that punish marijuana cultivation more strictly than murder in some states, Americans spend more on illegal drugs than on cigarettes. And despite official disapproval of pornography, the US leads the world in export of explicit sex videos, according to Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs and Cheap Labour in the American Black Market, by Eric Schlosser.'
Maybe this is the reason the yanks don't want us to relax our marijuana laws. They don't want us interfeering with their booming market.
