The National Post seems to have caught up with an earlier posting of mine. I wish the economists in the Financial Post would get their heads out of their ideological asses and apply the same economic reading they give to statist intervention in markets to this new doozy invented by Health Canada, which will
- a) transfer large amounts of now broadly distributed wealth to a small group of privileged licencees;
- b) illegalize the previously legal growing of dope;
- c) expand police powers; and
- d) put more people in jail
Nice going, Conservatives!
