PM wants mandatory sentences for 'serious' drug crimes
He did not say what offences would fall into that category or how long the sentences would be, but he did not mention marijuana in connection with mandatory sentencing. He promised new money for drug investigations and prosecutions, bigger campaigns to identify and close drug labs and marijuana grow ops, tougher border enforcement to keep drugs out of the country and more RCMP efforts to seize proceeds of crime Harper stressed that two-thirds of the money in the strategy would go to programs designed to help addicts quit and raise public awareness of the dangers of drugs. The rest, $21.6 million, would go to enforcement efforts. Liberal MP Keith Martin, a physician, said the strategy "will be terrible for Canada because it will result in increased drug use, increased crime, increased incarceration rates and increased costs to the taxpayer.
Slumming it is better than bulldozing it
This is going to be a big year for the wrecking ball. By the time it's over, two of the world's most famous neighbourhoods will be gone, replaced with scaffolds, cement mixers and the sort of well-meaning mistakes that have scarred the cities of the West for decades. The photo accompanying this article was taken on Christmas Eve in the sprawling Mumbai slum of Nehru Nagar. On an eerily quiet warm winter evening, photographer Subhash Kumar Sharma watched as a self-built, decades-old neighbourhood containing tens of thousands of people emptied itself out in advance of wrecking equipment. High-rise office buildings and carefully planned public-housing towers, some already built, are replacing this old, peaceful, rambunctiously squalid neighbourhood. This is merely a foretaste of the demolitions to come this year in the world's most densely populated city.

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God is a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the father upon the children unto the third and fourth generationof them that hate me. And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that takethe His name in vain. 4. Remember the sabbath day to keep it Holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work. BUT the 'seventh day' is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them, and 'rested' the seventh day: wherfore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.
