It seems that, for the ultra-liberal administration of Toronto, even the lenient Canadian drug legislation is not enough, as city officials demand from the Canadian government the authorization to implement a much more radical plan, that includes decriminalizing ALL drugs to ALL ages, including underage children.

TNC reports:

“The City of Toronto has released its sweeping plan to decriminalize all hard drugs, including fentanyl and crack cocaine for any age. 

Toronto’s request is even more lenient than the decriminalization order granted to the entire province of British Columbia by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier this year. 

The City is asking that the federal government grant a Health Canada exemption for all drugs extending even to children. 

In British Columbia’s case, the granted exemption only applies to adults. The report claims that decriminalization should be offered for ‘all people in Toronto, including youth’.” 

Toronto City report to Canadian Federal Government:

“Criminalization does not effectively deter youth substance use. The data show that youth in Toronto between the ages of 12 and 17 use unregulated drugs and are vulnerable to the same harms associated with criminalization as adults.”

Vocal opponent of the decriminalization of drugs, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre: “Flooding our streets with decriminalized and taxpayer subsidized drugs has led to a massive overdose crisis right across the country.”

The Liberal-NDP policy of flooding our streets with hard drugs has fuelled a wave of addiction, crime, and chaos in our cities.

Ban hard drugs. Sue Big Pharma, and use the money to pay for the recovery and treatment people need.

Toronto’s plan does not limit the amount of drugs that can be possessed for personal use. But the city still claims that it will investigate drug trafficking and other violations.

“Drugs in possession for personal use can vary considerably depending on the type of drugs being used, or an individual’s tolerance to a substance. For the anticipated benefits of decriminalization to be available to all Torontonians, the model should apply to all drugs in possession if they are for personal use.”

Taxpayer funded PBS kicked off their coverage of the Trump case tonight by speaking to a woman named Andrea Bernstein, who is the author of an anti-Trump book.

PBS has always been liberal, but like most of the media, has gone to the extreme left in recent years.

It’s fine if they want to do that, but they should not be allowed to do it using tax dollars.

Here’s a partial transcript, via PBS:

Amna Nawaz:

To give us a sense of what happened in that courtroom. Today, I’m joined by Andrea Bernstein. She covers democracy for ProPublica and Trump legal matters for NPR and is the author of “American Oligarchs: The Kushners, the Trumps, and the Marriage of Money and Power.”

Andrea, welcome back. And thanks for joining us.

Most of us saw just brief glimpses of those proceedings today,for example, the short video clip of Mr. Trump very somber being led into that courtroom earlier today. But you were in the room. So describe for us what it was like in the room, what you observed.

Andrea Bernstein, ProPublica:

So, in one sense, it was totally normal.

Here’s the very same courtroom where Trump’s former chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, was indicted and pleaded guilty. This was the courtroom where Trump’s own company was last December found guilty of multiple felonies. But it was also extraordinary, because the — first of all, the security was like nothing I have ever seen.

There were court officers lining the center aisle all around with the room Secret Service, police. There was an atmosphere, no laptops, no electronics, enforced quiet. You could hear a little bit of the protests. But there was the former president of the United States having to say to a judge “Not guilty,” something we have obviously never seen, and quite extraordinary to see in person.

Watch the video below:

PBS leads off its reporting of the Trump indictment with Andrea Bernstein, author of "American Oligarchs: The Kushners, the Trumps, and the Marriage of Money and Power." Jane Mayer blurbs it's a "devastating exposé of the Trump and Kushner families."

PBS should not receive tax dollars. It has been said before, but it bears repeating.

Let liberals fund them. That’s who they serve.
