McTeague is a treacherous piece of work. Back in 2003, ignoring Canadian law, democratic convention, and diplomatic protocol,he organized a secret meeting with US deputy drug czar Barry Crane. The purpose was to ask for more vocal opposition from Washington regarding proposed changes to Canadian drug law that would have decriminalized marijuana. The best part was that McTeague did this in his capacity as a backbench MP. He even went as far as to provide an internal Canadian government memo which outlined weaknesses in the proposed changes. For those of you not used to a Parliamentary system, this would kind of be the same as a junior member of the House of Representatives holding a secret meeting with the Chinese government to outline flaws in US federal government fiscal policy.
