Canada is about to be invaded by the United States
 

It seems "sovereignty" is a word rapidly disappearing from the American vernacular.

"David Murray, right-hand man to U.S. "drug czar" John Walters, says he doesn't want to tread on another country's sovereignty, but warned there would be consequences if Canada proceeds with a plan to decriminalize the possession of marijuana."

U.S. warns Canada against easing pot laws

VANCOUVER - A top White House drug policy official is threatening retaliation from the U.S. if Canada relaxes its laws against marijuana possession.

David Murray, right-hand man to U.S. "drug czar" John Walters, says he doesn't want to tread on another country's sovereignty, but warned there would be consequences if Canada proceeds with a plan to decriminalize the possession of marijuana.

"We would have to respond. We would be forced to respond," said Murray.

Murray didn't spell out what the American response would be, but he invoked images of tie-ups at border crossings and intense bureaucracy.

He said if marijuana becomes more widely used in Canada, it could penetrate more widely into the U.S.

Murray tried to express the feeling in the U.S. that looser drug laws go hand-in-hand with increase in crime and drug addiction among youth, and used some apocalyptic language to do it.

"You can't wall this off saying, 'We're only talking about a little cannabis.' Our experience is they come together like the Four Horsemen," he said.

Murray said Canada's reputation in the global community would be forever altered if it decided to decriminalize pot.

"It's not just Canada's relationship with the United States that would change; it's Canada's relationship with the world," he said.

In fact, many countries, notably in Europe, have already decriminalized marijuana, but none of them share a border with the U.S., where the policy is zero tolerance for smoking pot.

I'm joining the Canadian army :smokin

I really hope Canada decriminalizes, if they do not, if will be because of the United States, period.

I really hope you guys push through for it despite.

It will be a good thing.

Might have to buy me a little piece of land in Canada.

:smokin

i can get you a good deal on some land in Quebec...no guarentees on it being part of canada though.

ah what will they do?

not trade with us? okay..no water for your eastern coast states..no electricity or wood either...fine


we can shut our doors and not trade with anyone...it would hurt for awhile, but hey..we don't need to make something give it to you for nothing and buy it back at three times the price anyway..i say, lets take ernie eves and all his cronies( and mind you i grew up in his town, and have been to his cottage many times) but he is an evil prick...anytime bay st cheers a politicians move, we are in trouble..really if people want to draw a line in the sand around weed, then they have some serious issues...there are much larger concerns, whcih they are overlooking...if they invaded Canada, that would surely start off the next world war..and i dont think the states would come out on top of it..dont count out the UN...they are just as large as the states...and they have all the latest fancy gadgets, not to mention some other countries who would love to see a major fuck up like that happen so they could just slide right in

what are the crime rates etc in amsterdam compared with the states? i think he's full of shit.

mmmh.. how ironic..... US giving lesson on how to have good relations with the world community ....

AMEN!!!!!

I would reckon that they'd (our police)have a lot more time and resources arresting people with some personal, if they weren't so busy getting all bad guys with illegal guns from the States et al.,!

With the idle threats, PUHLEEZE, it's fucking POT for christ sake! If people want it bad enough their going to get it. Has anyone from the US government EVER been to British Columbia? Give me a break already!!
