None of the above. I am a Caucasian, and indigenous to BC and Canada.

Poilievre will close down “drug dens,” as Poilievre calls safe injection sites, and will put the money towards rehab.

I hope this is true and not pandering for votes.

That doesn't count unless you were born where you were supposed to be born. Most likely you should have been born in Eurasia or Africa somewhere. Keeping in mind, of course, that if you moved to somewhere in Eurasia or Africa today then you'd effectively be a foreign invader since you probably have zero connections to that particular somewhere and probably don't even speak the local language(s). But still, that's where you should be, somewhere like that. If anyone gives you grief, just say: "I wasn't born here, but I should have been."

Supervised consumption sites are just “drug dens” that a future Conservative government would seek to close and not provide with “a single taxpayer dollar,” Pierre Poilievre said Friday.

 

During a visit to a park near one such site in Montreal, Poilievre said he would shutter all locations near schools, playgrounds and “anywhere else that they endanger the public.”

 

“Radical bureaucrats don’t have the right to open these drug dens anywhere they want,” he said.

Might that explain why the SOLID relocation to Dowler feels so rushed?

Why is abstinence never an option?

It's odd, right?  Most teens and young adults do not consume street drugs.  Why not nudge a few more over to that camp?

 

They are also the most successful adults, later on.

Wasn't it you who told us the student who died at UVic from an overdose was just smoking weed? 

Mike, that is the information I received from a contact I have in the firehall that attended to the call. I will concede that it is 2nd hand information, though.

The dead girl's parents gave us an extremely detailed version of events.

 

EXCEPT the very nature of the drug consumption.

 

Seems they are hiding something.

If the women were smoking weed, I’m certain we’d have heard about that by now.

Anyone recall that movie from the 80s with Mathew Broderick?  It was called War Games and an advanced super computer was set to run a simulation on super powers fighting in thermonuclear war.  The summary?  There is no winning, the best way to win is not to play.  

 

This is how I feel about hard drugs.

#1 way to be sure to have good medical response: don’t sleep on the streets, go to a shelter.

Also don't use drugs.

Or kick a paramedic in the face, which precipitates an angry mob?
