Richmond Hill City Council Embarasses All Canadians

Jan. 1, 2015 – Wannabe Liberal MP candidate, Jodie Emery, discusses the support for her candidacy from Liberal Party insiders.

The marijuana crusader says he has a message for all BC parents.
Emery claims parents should encourage their children to spend more time with “pot people.”
“Nothing bad is going to happen to your son or daughter if they smoke marijuana, unlike if they hang out with people who are into athletics, or into alcohol, or into a number of things, fast cars, I say that pot makes your teenager a lot safer.”
In the 2015 Canadian Federal Election, one wonders how many parents of teenagers are going to stay home and not vote or even actually vote for the Liberals? This, having plenty of facts abound about what damage marijuana can do to a developing brain. But as the old saying goes, be careful what you wish for – you may get it.

Don’t forget while watching this, Justin Trudeau is wagging his finger in your face and pointing out that if you disagree with anything a Muslim Imam says, then YOU are a bigot and a racist. Welcome to the New Canada with PM Trudeau Deux.

CBC disappointed By ‘Distressingly Low’ Campus Rape Numbers;
Has the CBC hired that disgraced Rolling Stone rape beat reporter or something?
Ha! Show’s what you know. At a cost to taxpayers of over $1 billion a year, the CBC is perfectly capable of screwing up their own narrative all by themselves, thanks.
And this is related: “Two of the five William Paterson University students who were accused of an on-campus gang rape last fall, but were cleared of the charges when a grand jury refused to indict them, have filed notices indicating their intent to sue the school…”

The party will not discuss the grounds for the appeal launched by engineer Marisa Sterling, who sought to become the Liberal candidate in the riding of Beaches-East York but who lost to lawyer Nathaniel Erskine-Smith at a nomination meeting before Christmas.

That awkward moment when Justin Trudeau courts the marijuana vote while shunning Jodie Emery. Heh.
Touched by the many messages of support I've received. I won't run as an independent or for another party, but appreciate the encouragement!
