Well, the evil bastard is back again! This time to rant about the "progress" of the US Drug War, on a stage before the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse - why? Because the CCSA is an evil group of prohibitionist ex-cops and so-called doctors, and they want Walters to help bring in the draconian drug policies of America. Grrrrr.
Thanks to Eugene Oscapella for sending this on the Canadian Cannabis Coalition mailing list!To our friends in the US:We in Canada have agreed to take John Walters off your hands for a few
hours on February 22. I am more than a little perplexed as to why the
Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, a supposedly independent drug policy
agency, is inviting him to speak without using a panel format that would
allow his statements to be challenged. There will be a question and answer
session after his speech, but that will hardly offer the opportunity for a
balanced debate. I wonder if these were the only terms on which he would
speak here.
