I have discussed to great length with my mp Dave vankestern the potential of extracts, the history it has with the pharmacuticle companies. The research and development that needs to be done. He is aware of many people in my community that have beaten cancer and restored their health with the oil

Okay. I want to put that into perspective.
Not to minimize this,
but I did some quick calculations. I come up with about 1.5% to 2% of
our budget. To draw a comparison, we lose about that amount to our
tobacco industry, which I'm not suggesting is where we should be gaining
revenue, but we have taxed our tobacco so high that it is now more
lucrative to sell tobacco than it is marijuana.

VAN KESTEREN FAVOURS TOUGHER JAIL SENTENCES
Conservative candidate Dave Van Kesteren is supporting two new initiatives brought forward by Conservative leader Stephen Harper.
In a news release yesterday, Van Kesteren said he supports Harper's plan of having mandatory prison terms of at least two years for drug offenders who import or export or produce addictive drugs like heroin, or over three kilograms of marijuana.
Van Kesteren said he also supports measures to ban house arrest for serious drug crimes, increase fines for drug dealers, and favours halting proceedings to decriminalize marijuana.
"It's time to take back out streets, to support organizations like East Side Pride, our local Crime Stoppers program and our neighbourhood watch teams," he said.
Van Kesteren also threw his weight behind Harper's Choice in Child Care Allowance initiative, that would provide $1,200 per year for each pre-school child.
"This plan gives parents options. Rather than being restricted to large, impersonal day care centres, this allows parents to take their children to small, personalized care givers," he said.
The plan, said Van Kesteren, would also commit $250 million to a program that would work to create 125,000 new child care spaces over five years.
"This program gives parents the opportunity to access child care which conforms to their own values, and not just provincially or federally mandated values," Van Kesteren said.
