I'd also like to see so called "left wing liberal media" With headlines like Poiliverre is a disaster, conservatives courting totalitarianism. Conservative plan is to restrict women's rights. Poiliverres 20 year disaster as a taxpayer paid official This could be fun because they don't exist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what partisanship looks like If the CBC posted an article stating Poiliverre has been a failure of an MP you'd be foaming at the mouth and calling it a loaded headline The danger to Canada isn't which idiot is sitting in the PMs seat. It's that the only people more stupid than the PM or PM hopeful we currently have are the people supporting them without deviation 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of cracking down on drug addicts, we should be ramping up the penalties for white collar crime like this, to include mandatory prison time for those responsible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood the tolerance displayed for 'white collar' crime. Somehow it is evil to use a gun/knife/baseball bat, to take some one's wallet, but taking money with the stroke of a pen is given an almost a free ride. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decriminalization on its' own has not worked here or in Portland or anywhere. Portugal has had success with decriminalization AND a large set of social programs to support and rehabilitate. Costly yes, but if a crackdown means prison terms or newly built camps in the far north that would be pretty costly too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapper Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 40 minutes ago, Ricky Ravioli said: What we are currently doing is failing even harder, so what do you suggest we do? First .... The majority of addicts come with complex mental health issues that go beyond what we have ever had to deal with. Back in the 70's many would have been in Riverview or other such facilities. Not suggesting that would fix it .. just that we have never had to deal with this many addictive killer drugs and mental health issues combining .. ever I worked mental health and remember a psychiatrist challenging the staff at a education session with 2 scenarios - A ) little sweet old lady who's kidneys are shot in emergency for help. She had been taking 10x rate of Tylenol for years to numb joint pain B) a meth addict covered in sores and strung out. Q - what's the similarities and what's the differences? Answer - they are both the same. They both self medicated to lessen the symptoms. Meth and other hard drugs help lessen the voices tormenting that person and are cheap and work fast .... Same for the sweet old lady Differences - one is seen as a sweet old lady and the other s Meth head Conclusion - both are the same and If we can treat the underlying issue both aren't really addicts and would have a good chance of not continuing that addiction Once we look at all addicts as criminals rather than health issues we will never fix the problem. We have outlawed murder so when should have none then right ? All the rehab beds in the world are useless If they day they are recovered and released they return to the tent in the park or sent to a dump to live in a slave wage minimum pay job that will keep them in that dispair. The solution needs to end the stigma ... End the criminalization . Provide treatment and a few years of a living basic income with housing as we work with them to get them a job skill then match them to a good job For those who's mental health won't facilitate working then build decent clean housing for them and provide a living wage benefit and activities ( daily volunteer work or ongoing socialization ) to prevent them falling back to the old life The ability to say "clean up and pull up your boot straps" is no longer possible in Canada. The planning has to put the past,today and tommorows plans as one over all plan to succeed As for the drug dealers and makers feel free to jail them for life ..... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, show me how the electorate isn't currently hyper partisan or the quality of elected official they vote in that indicates they are not idiots. Opinions are all well and good, but when you have people (insert name here) posting them as some sort of metric of success or failure for [insert politicians name/party here] for the greater population it's a serious problem and only highlights that hyper partisanship or idiocy I speak of Whatever the case, that headline is ABSOLUTELY loaded and I'm still waiting for someone to provide a similar article of such a loaded nature from the "left wing" media Edited May 2 by Warhippy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
