Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

NUTS!
It’s a living.
Socialism or not, when society becomes obsessed with personal rights without the needed balance of personal responsibility, the parasites will be regularly ushered to the trough by the naive.
Although I often “bitch” on this site about the narrow-mindedness of partisan stereotyping, the fact the partisan left are enablers of this exact kind of thinking is indisputable. Politically correct and absolutely naive about the true nature of human beings.
Two questions Insite here in Van can never answer to my satisfaction are….
If your program is soooo effective, why has it never been duplicated anywhere else in N.A.?
Why would any addict feel compelled to get clean when you are eliminating most of the negatives of their addiction?
These do-gooders are enablers, nothing less.
Some people work for a living, some people vote for a living.
All new HIV infections are self-inflicted. The only difference with this example is that people are doing it intentionally for profit rather than out of reckless disregard for their health.
Dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’, boy.
Good show.. Carry on..
Taking themselves out of the equation. About time.
I love it when a problem solves itself.
Give drug addicts all the free heroin they want as often as they want. The stupid ones will OD and cease to be a burden on our health care and social assistance system. The smart ones will get out of a life of crime to support their habit and get their lives back on track.
On another website,I inquired of a person involved with Insite,as to the effectiveness of the followup pillars of Mayor Campbell’s exciting new “Four Pillars” approach to addiction, the Four Pillars was characterized as “Prevention, Treatment, Law Enforcement and Harm Reduction.”
The person responded they “cure” about 20% of addicts. I further inquired as to their criteria for “cured”, such as how long the addict is clean before he’s declared cured,and never did receive a response.
I will hypothesize the reason no other City has tried the same program is because there are too many negatives associated with the program that are being withheld from the public by a compliant media.
If you’ve never seen the Vancouver-made documentary,”Streets of Plenty”, take a look at it on Youtube. I was damned shocked at how the nurse at Insite enabled the doc’s subject in trying heroin for the first time.
All new HIV infections are self-inflicted.
Except for the people born with it.

Stupid federal posturing is my guess.
Why would any addict feel compelled to get clean when you are eliminating most of the negatives of their addiction?
Why would they if there is no negative? Opiates are a lot less harmful than other drugs.
They don’t care about the people addicted. Its the bureaucrats jobs that matter.The poor industry is lucrative for Government parasites.
Makes politicians have a phoney form of seeming to care.
By 30 years old if left alone, most addicts quite on their own cold turkey.
If encouraged it becomes a life style.
As these people getting HIV purposely show. Once you become a government ward, its almost impossible to be anything else. Which is what they want.
It means an ever expanding government with a client class.
The desperation to do this is only topped by people shooting themselves to get out of a war. This is desperation folks. Not help. Its hopelessness in hard copy.
I’m neither a doctor nor a medical researcher and I don’t play one on TV. As a longtime resident of the Vancouver area, what I note about this story is yet another instance of the remarkable correlation between needle drug use and HIV/AIDS.
