Also, conservatives in Canada's Parliament have brought up two notable concerns with legalization that could be difficult to overcome. For starters, lawmakers worry about how to keep marijuana out of the hands of children. An at-home grow provision, they argue, would make it easy for children to get hold of cannabis. The other issue being that there's no way to accurately test for cannabis impairment while behind the wheel. Without any sort of baseline impairment figure, it's difficult to see how conservatives in Canada's Parliament are going to be satisfied with this legislation.

but, conservatives have no power in canada's parliament, right now. a strict party vote would be 239-99. it's not even close.

....unless they mean the senate, but the conservatives do not have a majority in the senate either, no matter how you skew the numbers.

this worries me, though. it suggests that the liberals are floating flawed information to the press, with an attempt to engineer the defeat of the bill.
