It’s almost
funny. Has anybody noticed it’s the same old Con game over and over? An enemy
who has been invisible until now appears on the horizon. This is usually in the
form of an announcement by whatever Minister has been allocated to handle the
problem and stress its great importance to an area that the Cons consider their
mandate. In order of priority: Security, Crime, Money, and the Retention of
Power are the principal justification.
Stevie’s
hired 1500 skilled propagandists that specialize in “spinning” the “Gospel
According to Stephen” by engaging in what have now become standard practices.
Their first priority is the manipulation of public opinion by trying to
exercise control of all information by declaring it Secret for “Security or
Privacy” reasons, or “Exempt by Ministerial Privilege”. This is accompanied by
a barrage of “leaks” to the press about the state of the problem: inflamed by
as big a factor as they deem necessary.
It’s an
assault under a cover of darkness and neglect.
One area
under attack and invisible to Canadians is the attempt to Revise the MARIHUANA
MEDICAL ACCESS REGULATIONS and destroy the program by completely forbidding
Private and Designated growth by all Licensees. No one will be able to legally
and affordably grow their own medication. Instead the Government intends to
force them to buy from their proposed new and presumably profitable Contracts
for “Commercial Production and Sale Licenses. There’s the money angle!
They now
want to invade the privacy of citizens. Where did the concern for Privacy go
that resulted in the elimination of the Long Term Census because it asked a
couple of questions about bedroom privacy that could simply be skipped. Mr.
Toews should learn from the example of Health Canada and the way they handle privacy
when dealing with the identities of Licensees.
Privacy is
sacred at The MARIHUANA MEDICAL ACCESS DIVISION (MMAD). All information
regarding any Licensee is SECRET. Any disclosure of information about an
individual is considered an invasion of their privacy and is expressly
forbidden.
Secrecy
goes to the extreme and that is the source of all problems. MMAD will not tell
a Licensee who wants to buy from a Licensed Designated Grower who the Growers
are. They set up a supply/demand system and then forbade all communication and
contact between the sides. Brilliant!!!
But good examples of a completely anal obsession with information
control.
It would be
logical to conclude this rant with the inclusion of Crime, and Gangs, Public
Safety, Fire hazards, mould, toxic chemicals, etc. I won’t bother.
I will
however point they had to throw in criminal penalties for growth of more than
five plants and a six months sentence with their Tough on Crime.
