This week: Drugs, Sex, and Ice Holes. There are lots of questions about the Liberal government's position on pot. Yes we know - they are going to get to work legalizing it 'right away' - but right away may be longer than you think. And what happens in the mean time? The Liberal pot car - Bill Blair - acknowledges that over 22,000 people were arrested in 2014 over small amounts of pot and that a disproportionate number of these people were visible minorities and that prosecuting pot is expensive and that criminal records are of pot are harmful - but he refuses to take any action to mitigate these wrongs. We also talk about the insane history of the criminalization of homosexuality in Canada and one very tragic case. And finally we talk about some of the insane criminal laws on the books in Canada - keep your ice holes covered, don't steal oysters, and put away your comic books.
