I still have trouble believing it, but in just a few hours it will be Marijuana Freedom Day in Canada.
And although some of the old geezers in the blogosphere are claiming it's no big deal.
It is a big deal, for this reason alone.
If everything had gone according to plan, marijuana would have been legalized in this country on July 1, Canada's birthday.
But now it looks as if we will have to wait until at least Labour Day.
There is a slim but very real chance that it could take years before it is legalized.
And Justin Trudeau knows who is to blame.
Just a few days ago Kellie Leitch was blubbering about how sorry she was to have hurt Canadians with her racist barbaric cultural practices campaign.
And her foul snitch line.
But now she's found another way to hurt Canadians.
And send even more of them to jail.
Wednesday was National Weed Day or 4/20 day, when all over Canada and the world people gather to celebrate cannabis culture and smoke up.
So one has to commend the Liberal government for the timing of this announcement.
Federal legislation to legalize marijuana will be ready in a year, Canada's health minister told the UN at a special session of the General Assembly in New York today.
"We will introduce legislation in spring 2017 that ensures we keep marijuana out of the hands of children and profits out of the hands of criminals," Jane Philpott said in her prepared speech to delegates.
Even though the timing for legalization does seem to me to be a little on the slow side.
As you know Rona Ambrose likes to pretend she's a doctor, a nurse, a Health Minister, and a Justice Minister.
And has extreme views on marijuana and Justin Trudeau.
So I'm glad to see that the Canadian Medical Association has taken some time to correct her mindless ravings about the Killer Weed.
And made her look like a dangerous quack or a maniac.
I don't know if you've noticed, but Rona Ambrose has recently stepped up the Great Con War on Marijuana.
By rerunning that old anti-marijuana ad, the one with dirty glass tubing representing the human brain on drugs.
And sticking us with the bummer bill.
As you know, I am totally disgusted by the way Rona Ambrose is failing to act as a Health Minister should.
Failing to put the pain and suffering of Canadians before her foul Con ideology.
Which as a Health Minister, and a human being, is about as low as you can go.
So I'm glad to see the Star editorialists ask the obvious question:
What on earth has she been nibbling on?
The other day I told you how the Con clown Rona Ambrose was causing a frightful scandal in Vancouver.
Making herself look like an absolute idiot, by screaming that marijuana was a killer weed, and NOBODY should consume it. Not even sick people prescribed it by their doctors.
And loudly demanding that the city close its pot shops.
Before the devil weed, and Justin Trudeau, claimed more young victims.
So I was really glad to see that BC's Chief Medical Officer has taken on the challenge of re-educating the village idiot.
Well I'm sure you remember how last fall Stephen Harper and his Cons launched a massive advertising blitz aimed at the parents of teenagers who use marijuana.
Whose exaggerated claims resembled the 1936 movie Reefer Madness.
And had worried parents wondering whether they should consult a brain surgeon or a plumber...
As you know, Stephen Harper has made The Great War on Marijuana one of his main weapons in the Great War on Justin Trudeau.
So he could accuse him of being a dangerous junkie who would make the drug more accessible to kids...
But when that attack ad didn't work, he decided to use our tax dollars to produce an anti-marijuana ad.
And get the country's doctors to endorse it...
But the doctors refused to play his game.
Because they they could see right through it, like so many other Canadians.
Well as you know Julian Fantino is the worst Veterans Affairs Minister this country has ever known.
An incompetent bully if ever there was one.
But now he has a new cause. Saving us and the children of Canada from the dastardly Justin Trudeau.
And it couldn't be more disgusting.
So I'm glad to see that Justin is finally firing back.
There is apparently no sordid depth to which Stephen Harper will not stoop or plunge, no sewer he will not crawl through, in his depraved and desperate attempt to smear and destroy Justin Trudeau.
He's called him a girly man, a junkie and a terrorist.
And now he's trying to use doctors to attack Trudeau's position on marijuana.
He has made the Great War on Marijuana the main weapon in his assault on Justin Trudeau.
Making it sound like Trudeau's plans to legalize weed would corrupt Canada's youth and turn us into a nation of junkies...
But sadly for Great Leader most Canadians don't seem to share his reactionary views.
