Haven't you ever noticed the DEA going into foreign nations to enforce drug control? They could just say Canada has become a source country and is flooding them with cheap Cannabis so they're going to go in there and take care of business. WTF could Canada do about it? Or they could impose sanctions on Canada exporting other legal drugs. Could do plenty of things.
Now you may say; but they're allowing several states to flout the law, and you're right. They too are in violation of the treaty but that's not the federal Gov't. You may not have noticed, but Cannabis can still get you a huge prison sentence, just ask Marc Emery. Name one nation that has legalized Cannabis everywhere within their borders. Canada would be the first on earth, and Canada doesn't have the clout to pull that off. They could easily be crushed by the other UN nations, any one of them actually.
The sensible thing to do, which means Trudeau won't, would be to decriminalize it. THAT they could probably get away with. National legalization is WAY out of line. We'll see what happens though. I suspect that the US won't stand for it, but who knows? They have been getting pretty damn flaky since Obama became President. Very little that the US does surprises me anymore. If they let it ride, then I guess Canada will become the lead exporter of Cannabis to the US, and a lot of natives will be making some extra cash with those boats of theirs.

The DEA has no jurisdiction in Canada aside from joint efforts in the failed war on drugs. They have no power or desire to enforce UN treaties in other countries. Especially since theyve been caught numerous times breaking said treaties personally. It would never happen, and theres no reason to "what if" about it

I'm not sure if you are delusional enough to think the USA will declare war on Canada over legalization. We have something (until TPP is ratified at the very least) called sovereignty, unfortunately for prohibitionists such as yourself. I suggest you check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_cannabis_by_country (your statement about Canada being the first on Earth is false).
Nice dig at first nations though, more effort in this troll than our friend greenthumbz, so I'd say 6/10.
So you think the DEA is going to come and arrest our Prime Minister or our judges of the Supreme Courts of Canada? They are signing off on the paperwork, not a citizen like marc emery who was flaunting international borders with illegal commerce. As a country we are not setting up to distribute cannabis into the US, we are simply allowing Canadian citizens, landed immigrants and visitors to our beautiful country to enjoy cannabis without serving themselves up to the machinations of the court system.
Your country doesn't hold the clout you believe it does, China controls your industries/production facilities with their market demand as well as national supply (you won't go into a market they dominate with environmental and human rights abuses to provide dirt cheap products to a foreign market) and they own most of wall street due to the incompetence of your government's foreign investment policy and commerce/trade treaties (being trillions of dollars in debt). Reality is that, when China wants to make the US jump, your only in the position to ask how high.
Speaking in terms of endearment, enjoy your next president I'm sure your quality of life is going to tank incredibly. Neither of those candidates is qualified to do anything but ruin the little goodwill your nation has left on the international stage.
You have a tenuous grasp on reality and that would be a generous description of your understanding of economics and foreign relations.

Your country is already in violation of all 3 UN treaties. By allowing state Rec sales without informing the UN of a concrete goal for Fed legalization...your flaunting the treaties.
Canada has not, and has never been in violation of the UN treaties, cuz we just opted out to legalize. Maybe the UN should sanction the US for it's violations of the current treaties?!?!
No soup for you....1 year!

so these treaties ALLOW the signing countries to back out - backed out. Are some parts of this treaty in effect and some are not ??? Look at these countries being supplied with equipment to fight the drug war, who is getting the profits from these arms sales.
For years it has been known that the CIA imported tonnes of coke ( like their plain that crashed with 4 tonnes on it or Ollie North). Come on, Trump will be too busy building fences and pissing on soldiers graves and Hillary will be to busy cleaning out what ever cash is left down their needing stealing. Plus maybe she can do like her husband and send up some tainted blood from your prisons and kill thousands of people. invading us is not very likely, I think you are almost out of allies.
Why would "the sensible thing to do" be relivent, who started this war on plants any ways speaking of sensible things to do. JT sure wont be doing anything sensible- he is only planning on taxing and jailing.

LOL, thats all you have after having your ass handed to you? Flaunt vs Flout? Try harder to troll next time. Although, that only works on the uneducated, so best move on. The only country to flout the treaties openly is actually your shithole of a country, as previously stated

Alright, thanks for the link. I didn't know about that. So it's just decrim after all then, not legalization. However, there is no mention at all about "backing out of the treaty". You don't have to back out of it if it's only decrim. Shows how much those trolls knew.

The wording of that article is incorrect. Canada is going to implement, regardless of prohibitionists / globalists kicking and screaming, full legalization of cannabis. So no, it is not 'decrim after all'. Legalization.
Canada already announced its intentions at the UN. Not to mention the most grim consequence of 'b-b-b-but the treaties!!!!' argument is the equivalent of a strongly worded letter in the general assembly.
You're not very good at this, are you? You understand treaties aren't 'law', right?

You tell me the dispensary who is selling get grams of thc extract for 2500 bucks. I think you're a little out of touch or work for an lp.

Try Google. A quick search will reveal our government has actually refused to implement decrim whilst they design legalization. In future, it may be beneficial for you to educate yourself prior to commenting on a subject.

you being facetious aren't you.....
Clearly you haven't read or haven't understood their standards.
Your basement grow cannot possibly meet their standards, starting with the most basic requirement that the grow can't be near a residential area.
