Today NDP MPs like Judy Wasylycia-Leis, Libby Davies and Penny Priddy were quick to rush out to criticize the Conservative government's new national drug strategy, making baseless attacks and trying to score cheap political points. Will these NDP MPs stop playing politics and perhaps listen to the NDP Healthy Living Minister of Manitoba, who spoke supportively of the Conservative government's plan?:
The facts:
Manitoba Healthy Living Minister Kerri Irvin-Ross welcomed the strategy, saying every little bit of money helps in the war against drugs. "We're excited to work with them," said Irvin-Ross. "It's going to have an impact."
