I was frustrated to see that The SP failed to print any articles concerning the recent troubles suffered by Regina medical marijuana patient Tom Shapiro.

He suffered a major miscarriage of justice at the hands of the Regina Police Service simply because Health Canada subjected this legitimate medical patient to reams of red tape, resulting in a delayed licence renewal and then a police raid.

Why not report the story of a man who had his medicine taken away while police saw fit to point a loaded firearm at his stepson before handcuffing Shapiro and his family for four hours? Does The SP have no regard for such an important story of a man who had the substance which enables him to live a productive life taken from him by force?
