The Phelan decision is inching closer and closer to the election. One thought is he could be hoping a regime change in Ottawa would end the case and negate the expense of the SCoC challenge. Wishful thinking maybe? At the very least it will keep marijuana an election issue.

The New Democrats continue to rise higher up the Nanos Party Power Index, and are sitting at a 12-month high in virtually every category.
The NDP have jumped at least a point for the past three weeks in a row, and now sit at 56 points out of a possible 100:
- NDP: 56 (up one point)
- Liberals: 53 (down one point)
- Conservatives: 52 (no change)
- Green: 31 (no change)
- Bloc: 27 (up one point)
Red turning orange
As Tom Mulcair’s NDP continue to trend higher, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals have been steadily dipping. Four months ago, the Liberals were at 57 points on the index, a solid nine points above the New Democrats.
Mulcair has also gained steady ground when it comes to the question of preferred prime minister. Just under 28 per cent of respondents chose Mulcair, which puts him ahead of Trudeau’s 26 per cent, but behind Harper’s 29 per cent.
Things are still very competitive between the three parties, but those who have decided against backing Harper now seem to be shopping around their support and looking at opposition options. It’s still too early to tell how this will translate at the polls, but it does speak to a high level of volatility among voters.

well hopefully Rona will be looked at as a terrorist for speaking out against the Supreme Court like she did!
If somehow ndp get a majority you can expect all kinds of the previous governments misdeeds will be investigated and see the light of day. The Harper regime will end with widespread public shaming. As it should

Let's see... The NDP want to decriminalize and let it just be a plant, the Liberals want to build a highly taxed and regulated corporate system 'to protect the children'.
And that's overlooking that the Liberals all voted for C-51 because they are little fascist Harper clones.

Holy shit you smoked the good stuff today you're actually making sense!
Harper himself looks like a terrorist with the crazy ideologies he tries to force down people throats!.
Tweed is awesome!eventually

"The NDP want to decriminalize and let it just be a plant" What does that look like? I heard Mulcair say the NDP is for decriminalization so people aren't burdened with a criminal record for smoking marijuana. It will still be illegal and it will simply be a revenue stream for police forces and an intimidation tool for the cops. He has said nothing about repealing the mandatory minimums for growing or selling. Mulcair is determined to maintain control of the plant. The only change will be a fine instead of conviction for simple possession and in reality, how often does that happen anyway. Trudeau has said legalization...huge difference, IMO. I'm sure there will be corporate players (there already are) and a tax scheme put in place, just like every other commodity there is a demand for, but like every other legal product, you are free to grow your own...tax exempt. If you are coming at this from a grower/seller angle, I would still count on the Liberals being my best choice. That said, I am in the 'anybody but Hitler' camp and chances are we will have a minority gov. so we can push for the changes we want as the party that wins will want to please.
