I read Blair is going to be defense minister, so that keeps him away from weed decisions, imo. I'd like to hear JT say something about mj in his throne speach
I don't think it will be in the throne speech but maybe, if we're lucky, it will be included in the budget.
The budget is the best place to introduce it. Probably won't be the first budget given the timeframe, but maybe before the second or in the second.
They will need to show extra revenue on the books to make deficits look smaller but I don't think (based on their platform or opposition to Harper) that it will come from more cuts to programs or unspent budgeted cash.
They need new sources of revenue based upon their platform, lower middle class taxes and deficits. The deficits can't run wild based on the conservative threat and their "balanced" budget campaign.
There is another election coming in a few years, all parties know it, know what's up for grabs and knows how each other played and governed, both the libs and the cons have suffered crushing defeats while leading.
The libs have no choice but to uphold their promises or risk being voted back to oblivion.
