Canadian politics are concerned with one thing, what will get them the most granny votes. They know that grannies do most of the voting (everybody else is too busy to bother) so they do whatever they think will impress them. Grannies all hate and fear anything that politicians tell them is a dangerous drug so the best way to get their vote is to oppress Cannabis users. Simple as that. There's no science behind any of the drug law policies of the major political parties. They ignore their own Senate reports and all other reports that favor reduced control of Cannabis. This is commonly known as vote whoring and they ALL do it shamelessly. By "all" I mean all three major Canadian parties. They are acting in the best interest of themselves and their parties to the detriment of the country. It has literally come down to a battle for control of country between the grannies and the rest of us. So far, the grannies have been winning.
In regard to the extradition, even if laws are on the books giving viable Cannabis seed the same penalties as Cannabis flowers, how can the penalty be said to have a two year sentence when such a sentence has never been given in the history of the country? A few cases have been prosecuted and none have resulted in even a one year sentence so in effect there really is no two year sentence at all.
