According to a party spokesperson, the footage was captured during an event organised by the India-Canada Association of Montreal in 2009.

Of course now that the Liberals are in power, it will be interesting to see whether they make good on that campaign promise, as well as all the others made along the way.
Canada has just elected a new government, ousting a leader notorious for his disregard towards environmental issues.
The folks that I have had an opportunity to talk to, many of whom are experts in Canadian politics, initially believed that the Conservatives would prevail, at worst, with a minority government. As the Conservatives and the NDP consider who will lead them in the future, they should accept that in four years or later, it’s unlikely Canadians will turn back the clock to bring in another baby boomer prime minister. Liberals won 184 of the 338 seats in Parliament, enough to survive any challenge from either opposition party, with votes to spare. This was on display during the 2006 Second Lebanon War when Liberals – including then-prime minister candidate Michael Ignatieff – accused Israel of war crimes instead of calling on Hezbollah to stop kidnapping Israeli soldiers and firing rockets at Israeli civilians.
A potentially generation-defining worldwide conference in Paris begins less than a month after Justin Trudeau becomes prime minister.
In three other cases, an older prime minister reclaimed power from the younger PM who had previously defeated him, such as when Macdonald beat Mackenzie for a second crack at the job or when Pierre Trudeau defeated Joe Clark in 1980 after losing to him in 1979.
“First, he [Harper] established the target in Copenhagen in 2009 and did absolutely nothing to reach it, so we’ve missed our Copenhagen target about 100 per cent. So Leona Aglukkaq, the former environment minister, announced a new target in May and it’s the weakest target in the industrialized world”.
May says joining the Liberal government delegation does not mean she will be in the Liberal fold. One question comes to mind in response and that is, how was the hate that a few people have had for Stephen Harper, any better than the hate people have accused Harper of harbouring and reflecting in his policies?
Hill said Liberal proposals to legalize marijuana without a broader global consensus on the issue, particularly in the USA, will be hard. The Canadian dollar has been slumping against the US dollar. In the larger scheme of things with numerous Canadian-sized nations in the world Ottawa’s impact is minimal. Canadians will spend approximately $128,000,000 Canadian on this election. “I think this is a chance for us to find a dynamic, vibrant, new leader”.
It may cost us a pipeline.

“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”. From the very beginning, Trudeau was very clear about his intentions to legalize marijuana, saying that he would begin the process “right away” if elected to office. They are more likely to appear fresh and relevant in 2019 than Mulcair. In this regard, it’s worth remembering that the prevailing wind is from the north. Maybe we’ll be getting high with a little help from our friends.
