TRUDEAU'S GAFFES EPOSIDE 4

Trudeau blitzed with wrong pot numbers

In August 2013, Trudeau was quoted as saying that Canada's current marijuana laws "left 475,000 people with criminal records since the Conservatives took office in 2006."

Statistics Canada reports the number of all criminal incidents reported by police for possession, production, trafficking and/or distribution of marijuana at just under 480,000 since 2006. But a reported incident does not mean an arrest has been made, a charge laid or a conviction earned.

You'd think Trudeau would get the details of his signature policy right...

Trudeau's press aide initially described the mistake as a "slip of the tongue," but Trudeau repeated the same false statistics the next day.
