Treat drugs just like we do guns

Dear editor: Gun violence being low in Canada's in my opinion is not on account of strict laws and less guns, in my opinion.

The U.S has a population far greater than Canada, making it obvious there are more creeps in a country that gives the right to own firepower.

However here at home, law or not, it must be quite easy to get firearms as almost every day some body is getting popped off.

Free injection sites just may attract more users to the place to live or die forever.

Cutting off the supply of illicit drugs or firearms just isn't gonna happen. Getting all people to smoke the weed might.

Building homes to house the local homeless will only attract more homeless from near and far. Life can be a bitch for many people but using drugs is not the path to take to improve their life.

Homeless people should be individually evaluated as I doubt they are all homeless for the same reason.

There is work right here in the Okanagan in the agricultural industry, but Canada has to import foreign hands to do the work?

Basic income may create many unfilled jobs as people receiving minimum wage will quit, and we could not blame them.

Yes many people need help as humans are not clones, but living life with different strokes for different folks is here to stay. Tom Isherwood
