Numbers of addicts and drug deaths will increase if issue not addressed

Editor:

I am really not sure if politicians are switching to woke because the votes are good, or they legitimately do not know what they are doing, so any vote will do?

Recently, a B.C. minister said that the intention of legalization possession was not to make people feel unsafe in their neighbourhoods, parks etc.

Ah, yes it was! Just like applying a catchall to drug addicts called the “homeless” has the intent in the end to move drug addicts and crime into the same neighbourhoods and parks if the feds get their way! Why the charade?

Media is proclaiming the Alberta and

B.C. plan a failure. No idea why that is a surprise. Deaths will increase every year as more and more deadly drugs are circulated.

The numbers of drug addicts will increase every year as the public is perceived to accept them for what they are! That is also fact!

There are only “two ways” to prevent drug addiction and thecCirculation of drugs. The first which has failed miserably, is remove drugs from the addict!

That includes removing drug dealers etc. We know from the past that does not work!

The second way to prevent drug addiction is to remove the addict from the drug Supply.

Let’s not put lipstick on this pig any longer - you either do the first way or you do it the second way!

Choosing any other way, results in more drugs, and more drug addicts!

Outlaw the use of drugs in every city in Canada. If you are found consuming drugs, you will be removed from that city/town to a facility on the outskirts where services are waiting for you.

When an individual (Broward County Florida) can stand in front of news media and state he has no intention on rehabbing and you look down and can see the bones in his fore-arm you know hat playing “Miss Congeniality and washer of feet” leads to a dead addict with clean feet! If that is your plan, its working!

So lets call a spade a spade: continue with the ill-thought out plans of absorbing drug addicts into the neighbourhoods of Canada or downtowns of Canada under the guise of homelessness and you won’t be a politician for long! You will be doing what B.C. is doing which is backing down to save cities and neighbourhoods! Dennis Bremner
