This is not the kind of crap I want Canada to be known for.

We're number one!

Can we get the Liberals and their per senators to get tough on these criminals now?

Crime bill fight bogs down in Senate
By ELIZABETH THOMPSON, NATIONAL BUREAU
Last Updated: 23rd June 2009

Justice Minister Rob Nicholson accused the Liberals of being soft on crime yesterday, saying the Senate is stalling legislation needed to protect Canadians.

"Liberal softness on crime is demonstrated again and again by gutting our crime legislation, tying it up in red tape and playing procedural games so that it never becomes law," Nicholson said.

Starve Organized Crime.

[sandorski]

Getting "tough on Criminals" doesn't stop Crime. Especially when the Payoff is so lucrative. Legalize.

[ridenrain]

Again...most of the product is sold abroad.
How will legalizing in Canada make any difference?

As long as a) Canadians are making money off it; b) the drugs and, therefore, the harmful effects of the drugs are being exported, why should we care? It's the same as the Chinese sending us their leadpaint-laced, shitty plastic childrens' toys. If there's demand for this shit in other countries and money to be made on it, let's do it. Let's just make sure the manufacturers are paying their taxes.

Japan has identified Canada as the single biggest source for seized ecstasy tablets, followed by the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.

I wondered why I felt so at home here... Now I know...

Should we start selling uranium to whoever can afford it also? How about asbestos?
As long as it's somewhere else, what should we care?

This is just more of the stupid "prohibition" argument that folks haven't thought out.

Sure. Why not?

ridenrain ridenrain:

How about asbestos?

Sure, and we already do.

That's right. We shouldn't care. And in most respects, we don't. We sell all kinds of shit that can cause people harm. It's not the seller's job to be the buyer's daddy. Caveat emptor, buyer beware.

[ridenrain]

That may be you're vision of a "just" Canadian society, but it's not mine.
This makes me wonder how much of this blood money finds its way into political coffers.

Given what goes into ecstasy to manufacture it I would say make it an automatic attempted murder charge for amyone caught manufacturing it, same for meth, lsd and anything else that the cops have to wear enviroment suits when disassembeling a lab.
Leagalization of Marijuana is one thing, ecstasy kills people, I've seen it happen.

Yeah, because that won't create thousands upon thousands of more labs to ship the pills around the world. I love being the planet's Pariah. I really do.

Legalization will just make this happen more, probably put even more people at risk, and will attract the criminal elements of the United States, Europe, and Asia, making their own crime labs to export.

[ASLplease]

as long as it involves cross border trade to countries that consider it a crime, then it requires a criminal to conduct the business.

Why would be want to create a safe heaven for criminals?
