I'm not arguing the valid points anyone has made. CS is a huge organization, with many, many supporters. She is in the lime light and the statements she made fall in line with Harpers attack strategy. Now it's easy for any other party to say the libs support kids using mj, via her statements about growing and domestic violence. There is a whole lot of truth in the statements but as the cons have already played the justin wants to sell pot to kids card, those statements alone are very damming.
Then add the fact she essentially picked a fight with a huge organization, and again I agree with her that the CS would be in bed with pharma, but putting it all together I understand completely why she needed to be removed and silenced.
It's just politics and controlling party image.
