When the Liberal Party of Canada set-up Petro Canada, it flattered Canadian's   
   national spirit. However, not all the lofty ideals endured. In retrospect,   
   having lived with Petro Canada for almost a generation many ordinary Canadians   
   had an opportunity to    
   see behind the corporate veil.   
      
   Basically, Petro Canada was and may still be a Liberal business. Both the   
   executive and the administration became Liberal fiefdoms. Invariably   
   franchises for the service stations went to Liberals. These operators often   
   used the Liberal connection with    
   the Parole Board of Canada to sponsor inmates seeking release, if they agreed   
   to work in the stations for less than the going rate with the competition.   
      
   Then too there was product differentiation. Petro Canada became a manufacturer   
   of numerous products not readily associated with gasoline. An example of two   
   of these are - emery wheels for grinding and emery cloth for sanding.   
      
   With a majority of 185 seats in the Commons it looks very likely that the   
   Liberals will commercialize cannabis. Canadians should be ready this time so   
   that they aren't squeezed out of participating in this new business   
   opportunity by the Liberals. There    
   is an urgent need for consultants in the cannabis industry to inform   
   non-Liberal business people on the regulations, pricing, product lines and   
   marketing of this new product.   
      
   A good place to start would be with Medical Marijuana. Is it already under   
   Liberal control? How can non-Liberals break into this lucrative retail trade?
