Tory ads in Chinese newspaper accuse Trudeau of wanting to open brothels, make pot accessible to kids
Conservative ads appearing in Chinese and Punjabi newspapers in the Vancouver and Toronto area are accusing Liberal leader Justin Trudeau of making marijuana accessible to kids, supporting drug injection sites and suggesting the Liberals would allow brothels to open in neighbourhoods.
The Province, alerted to the ads by a tweet from Vancouver’s CKNW’s news director, asked a volunteer to translate.
Here it is, compared with the relevant parts of the Liberal’s party platform:
“Liberals want to legalize marijuana, would allow children easier access”
According to Liberal.ca, the party’s stance on marijuana is that it plans to “legalize, regulate, and restrict access to marijuana,” which it also describes as a way to “ensure that we keep marijuana out of the hands of children.”
The platform goes on to state: “We will remove marijuana consumption and incidental possession from the Criminal Code, and create new, stronger laws to punish more severely those who provide it to minors, those who operate a motor vehicle while under its influence, and those who sell it outside of the new regulatory framework.”
So while the Liberals would like to legalize marijuana, they still plan to regulate and restrict its access, especially to minors.
“Liberals want to install illegal drug injection sites in your neighbourhoods.”
While we couldn’t find anything on Liberal.ca covering the party’s stance on safe injection sites, Justin Trudeau has previously said that, yes, he is in favour of safe injection sites — along with the New Democrats and a Supreme Court of Canada ruling that said Insite saves lives, according to an article published in the Globe and Mail in Aug. 2015.
Located in Vancouver, Insite is the only legal supervised drug injection site in Canada where visitors can inject themselves with heroin, cocaine, and morphine.
And according to an article published in The Georgia Straight earlier this year, Trudeau also addressed the topic during a visit to UBC in March:
“I disagree with loosening any of the prohibition on harder drugs,” Trudeau said. “I think that there is much that we can and should be doing around harm reduction. Insite is a great model of that, and I certainly want to see more safe injection sites opened around the country. And I am firm on the fact marijuana needs to be controlled and regulated and that prohibition isn’t working. But I’m not in favour of loosening restrictions on harder drugs.”
So while Trudeau doesn’t appear to have concrete plans to open another safe injection site “in your neighbourhoods,” he does openly support Insite.
The office of Prime Minister Stephen Harper weighed in on the ad Tuesday evening, saying “Justin refuses to acknowledge the damage that drugs do to families and communities. He wants to allow the sale of marijuana in corner stores and increase the number of heroin injection sites, dangerously misguided policies that would only make drugs more accessible to our children.”
“Liberals want to legalize prostitution, have them open brothels in your neighbourhoods.”
The CBC reports that the Tories are defending the brothel claims with Trudeau’s vote against anti-prostitution Bill C-36.
The Liberals do not have a policy calling for the legalization of prostitution.
