Any politician talking about possibly making cannabis illegal again doesn't stand a chance of getting elected.

[thenorthowl]

Never seen a person, even a politician, be so wishy washy on issues.

Scheer's position on marijuana just lost him the election

[Threewulphmoon]

billions and billions and billions...why throw it away? what a fiscally irresponsible decision.

[mmewright]

used to like him but i can tell scheer is just as big of a liar as trudeau

[mrcorey]

Too bad resting smirk face can't commit to a statement or position. Its hard to vote for someone who can't commit to something.

[goldengreen]

Scheer, bad idea. I would vote Liberal if this is your plan.

legal weed is a joke, give it back to the people.

[AlexRMcColl]

I clicked dislike because of Scheer dodging the question. Good job to CTV for asking him multiple times.

[OmerQuenneville]

If I even bother to vote it will be Mad Max for me. Scheer just can't cut it with me.

Americans: "You'll never take our guns!"

Canadians: "You'll never take our weeds!"

[davidgillette]

I listened to the conserv. Shadow minister of health today her stand on pot was ludicrous. Liberals or conservatives I think we are sick and tired of their same old same old they are destroying the country. I will vote for Max!

Scheer has really messed up this one. Opposing cannabis legalization is a losing issue. The government, and Scheer, can stay the hell out of my personal affairs. If someone wants to smoke a joint in their home, let them.

I will be voting PPC Maxime Burnier, I hope some of you will join me

[oldstockcanadian]

Stop double talking on the legalization on cannabis Scheer because you will ensure Trudeau's majority again if there is any hint that you will roll back the legislation. Don't give those who believe in the benefits of cannabis reason NOT to vote for you.

[gwenkatt]

Jagmeet will be the answer, not Scheer....we Canadians need our medicine

[shirleya-z]

Unless schemer plans to raise the legal age for consuming alcohol and tobacco he is a huge hypocrite. Won't get my vote.

[fuckoff]

Not imposing a carbon tax against the will of Canadians- one step forward. Not keeping weed legal two steps back .

[someguy]

I have always voted conservative, but if Sheer doesn't support legalization of marijuana I will not vote for his party.

[wedgewizard]

They would be stupid to make it illegal again.
