Makes me wonder if the Liberal government is going to maintain the same position, of totally supporting the opinions of the experts in illegal drug enforcement - the RCMP - when it comes to deciding on making cannabis legal. Would be kind of hypocritical of the Libs to defer to their "expertise" on one subject, but ignore their opinion on another subject, merely because they didn't agree with it? Or am I missing something here?

The RCMP are all for legalization of weed though. Around these parts, unless you are driving and smoking or selling to others, the RCMP doesn't give a hoot. You can just look at the dozens of illegitimate medicinal dispensaries that sell to anyone who buys a membership as proof - if they cared about weed these places would get shut down, instead the city of Vancouver has introduced regulations pertaining to where they can operate (not within x meters of a school, ect)

Are there more pot smokers than gun owners ? How are they so successful in getting laws changed and not getting prosecuted when they break the laws in most cases. The amount of people openly smoking pot in downtown Vancouver makes me sick. I thought there were bylaws in Vancouver prohibiting smoking in public. Doesn't pot count as smoking.

My point is why are politicians more afraid of pot smokers than gun owners ?

It's not that they're afraid of pot smokers it's just when Justin Trudeau wants to smoke a good joint he can do it anywhere he wants now

Fair point. The system appears to not be designed to deal with these differences. Instead, for some reason, the RCMP is focused on the mag issue. I not sure i understand this, more asking the question(?). Someone approved the RCMP posting. The truth is out there.

Unless I'm missing something, there has been no order in council changing the wording of the regulations that have been in place for decades, correct?

So this is literally nothing more than the RCMP's limp dick opinion on the matter, an opinion which is contradicted by a plain reading of the words of the regulations, correct? Or has there been an actual change?

RCMP want a new legislation, so.

I'm going to flee to the states before Trump builds a wall, we are going to be down to BB guns before long.

I like your thinking. Or the other way around. With all the Americans becoming Canadians, they will miss the 2nd amendment from the US, therefore our political parties (by way of the people) will shift towards politics supporting the 2nd amendment-type laws.

Tell that to the tens of thousands that lost property when the FA Act and classification came into force. Classification, not registration, is the battle we all collectively face.
