COPE was very clear about its intentions. Perhaps the Alliance members spend too much time in Ottawa. It was difficult for anyone in Vancouver to miss the headline proclaiming COPE's promise to put an injection site in Kerrisdale, if necessary. Messrs. Moore and White should stay in Ottawa and keep going to their committee meetings. That way, they'll be out of our way and we can get some real work done about the drug situation in Vancouver.
