Also, if you're main reasoning behind voting liberal is the weed issue you're fucked too. I understand the tax implications of it all. However, if your agenda is simply "legalize it" it's basically legal already.. Anyone can walk into a dispencery and grab virtually as much as they need and smoke it practically anywhere. You really need it legalized?

How can you criticize someone for voting for a leader that supports his views? You might think it's "pathetic" but this is something he would go to jail for in some countries - in some he'd never see the light of day. But here he is, in Canada, trying to elect a leader who will decriminalize it on a federal level. Eventually it could lead to some other important changes that could put Canada ahead of the rest of the world in many other social issues as well. That's not what I'd call "pathetic" or "fucked".
What's pathetic is basing your vote on whether people can wear burkas. What's fucked is supporting a war that we have no reason to be a part of.
