GET TOUGHER ON FENTANYL DEALERS

Dear Editor: Forty-three fentanyl overdoses were recorded in a 
48-hour period in the city of Surrey. This is not acceptable. Drug 
dealers who deal in fentanyl should be treated a lot more harshly 
than dealers who don't.

I know someone personally on the Coast who lost a son who thought he 
was taking ecstasy, but it was laced with fentanyl. Some kids found 
him the next day dead in a public washroom. His family is completely 
devastated. I implore Crown counsel to consider attempted murder 
charges for anyone selling fentanyl. These idiots know full well that 
it is deadly - even in small doses - so they are knowingly risking 
the lives of their "clientele."

Toss 'em in jail and throw away the key. Please.
