I'd be curious to see how Blair reconcile his stance of legalizaling marijuana as an ex-Chief with the broader Trudeau Liberal thrust on the issue.

http://www.cp24.com/news/camh-calls...ncouraged-by-public-health-approach-1.2047231Speaking with reporters ahead of a Toronto Police Services Board meeting Thursday, Police Chief Bill Blair said CAMH is doing a “great service” by providing an evidence-based policy discussion that will “inform the public discussion” surrounding the drug going forward.
“I am very encouraged by the public health approach advocated by CAMH and by recognition that the regulation of Cannabis also has value in public policy. I think it is an important discussion,” he said.
Blair added that he does “see the limitation” of the current approach to marijuana, though he cautioned that any legalization or decriminalization would have to include provisions to prevent organized crime from being able to profit from sales of the drug.
Nothing to reconcile. He's on record saying he supports Trudeau's stance on marijuana legalization as it would free up time for police to focus on other more pressing issues.
From an interview last year:

“Public safety was easy. Locking up the bad guys is a piece of cake,†he quipped after greeting several dozen Sikh police officers at the CNE before Sunday’s Khalsa Day parade.
Although Blair said he had “respectful conversations with everybody,†he chose the Liberals because the party’s “values most closely fit with my own.â€
Oh, there could be some entertainment value left in this!If he wants to collect an MP's pension he'll have to be re-elected.
Jeez, can't he for once not be employed on the taxpayer's dime?Bill Blair tapped to run for the Liberals in Scarborough Southwest:
