Contentious federal bill to tackle drugs, crime

The first story I have up on the national page of Xtra.ca is my look at the introduction of the omnibus crime bill in the House of Commons this week. While this updates the issue that we have been following for a while, it also was the signal that the Liberals are looking at reopening the issue of decriminalising marijuana, but what didn't make the final article was Bob Rae's quote about how prohibition failed with alcohol and we as a society changed tactics there, and how that kind of discussion is needed with marijuana, which would have been a nice bit of context.
