Ottawa -- The federal Liberals will debate a motion to legalize marijuana at its policy convention next week, along with proposals to create national standards in education and to retain the traditional definition of marriage.

Liberal does not mean the same thing in Canada as it does in the US. These three issues mirror the "National Drug Control Strategy", "No Child Left Behind" and "Defense of Marriage" issues in the US.
