Mulcair twists his position again – this time on marijuana legalization
October 14, 2015
OTTAWA – Thomas Mulcair continues to say different things to different audiences. It is clear that Thomas Mulcair’s experience has taught him to play politics with everything.
Mulcair’s positions on marijuana :
- When running for the leadership, Tom Clark directly asked whether Mulcair supports decriminalizing marijuana, and his answer?
“No. I think that would be a mistake because the information that we have right now is that the marijuana that’s on the market is extremely potent and can actually cause mental illness.” (Thomas Mulcair, March 19, 2012)
- At the beginning of the campaign:
“The NDP’s position is decriminalization.” (Thomas Mulcair, August 21, 2015)
- Yesterday when pressed by VICE News on his opposition to legalization, Mulcair changed his mind:
“It’s going to get done. I mean that is the direction that it is going in. Look at Oregon. Look at Colorado… We are on a track to full legalization.” (Thomas Mulcair, October 13, 2015)
Thomas Mulcair has once again demonstrated that he will say anything. He continues to twist himself into knots in order to appeal to any audience.
This isn’t the first time: Mulcair has also taken multiple and contradictory positions on the oil sands, the gun registry, bulk water exports, and more.
