1 CN BC: PUB LTE: Drug-Plan PessimismThu, 23 Nov 2000

As a social worker in the 1960s with the now defunct Narcotics Addiction Foundation, I am heartened to see that Vancouver has finally decided to consider a drug treatment model centering on harm reduction. But because it's only in the draft stage, it's unlikely that anything will ever come of it, considering that so many levels of government will necessarily have to be involved and that the naysayers among us will do their level best to try to prevent any of the 24 recommendations from becoming a reality. However, should it come to pass, sadly it will be too little and much too late for so many.

2 CN BC: PUB LTE: 2 Of 3 Crime Problem Is ProhibitionTue, 22 Aug 2000

The debate would be put into clearer focus if our members of Parliament had their houses broken into and trashed, their cars stolen, not forgetting to add to the mix a dose of violence, terror and fear for their lives.

Maybe then our legislators will find the solution to alleviating the problem that emanates from that source: Government controlled free drugs to addicts. Otherwise this horrible story will never end, something everyone seems to know except for our "duly elected".

For shame.
