Looks like Conservatives can kiss the junkie vote goodbye.

Don’t be so hard on potheads. Where would we find career minimum wage laborers, content/docile at $12 an hour? Or the university trained poli-sci “experts” who’s circular arguments, are so entertaining.
Keep maryjane around. Thanks Greenies/Dippers/Librannos!!!

lookout, thanks for looking at the insite web page and I can’t believe that no-one has done anything about:
WHERE CLIENTS INJECT PRE-OBTAINED ILLICIT DRUGS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF NURSES.
One of the reasons I left Vancouver was because I was totally fed up with having my office broken into, my vehicle being broken into about once/month and my apartment broken into. If Canada ever allows the use of deadly force for the protection of property I might consider living in Vancouver again. I have no doubt that all of these breakins were by drug users looking for money for their next fix.
There are doctors involved in the insite program and it is telling that not one of them has chosen to put their own ass on the line by prescribing opiates to the junkies they serve. The law currently forbids doctors to prescribe opiates to known addicts; a law that is uniformly broken by ICU doctors and hospital physicians who have to care for injured junkies. One would think that if the insite doctors believed in their cause they would prescribe drugs which would reduce the number of breakins.
Perhaps it’s time for every person in Vancouver who’s been the subject of a residential or automotive breakin to launch a class-action lawsuit against insite. That is probably the easiest way to shut this idiotic operation down.

After 40 some years of this type of approach, the europeans are moving away concluding it does not work.
Amsterdam and Basel are two cities where soft drug tolerance and hard drug problems are leading to stricter approaches.

If Tony Clement had had one ounce of conservative steel in him He would have stood up to the pussy left but alas he didn’t and we have today’s insite. Ignatief’s beliefs apropos healthy addictions are expected in the liberal universe but Clement’s cowardice is an embarrassment to the whole conservative cause, I don’t give a shit whoever wins the election…they are all wimpering dolts.

loki, you’re welcome for my little investigation. I was double checking REAL Women’s claim in their March/April 2010 publication REALity (which I posted above):
“A crucial fact about the Vancouver drug injection site which is not widely known, is that the drug addict using the site is required to obtain his/her own illegally obtained drug which he brings onto the drug injection site for injection. This means that the addict must obtain the drug from drug traffickers using the money that has invariably been obtained from criminal activity.”
REAL Women, as usual, was right on the money, as this quote from Insite, itself, reveals: “We have 12 injection booths WHERE CLIENTS INJECT PRE-OBTAINED ILLICIT DRUGS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF NURSES.” (Emphasis mine)
(Jack Layton has just said on the news that he’s going to reinstate the funding for “Women’s [sic] groups that Stephen Harper cut”. Layton means, of course, radical feminist and lesbian groups: they’re the only kind of women lefty governments favour. Groups like REAL Women—they’re much more inclusive: men are able to be associate members—are shut out by the “tolerant, diversity loving” hypocrites. And yet, REAL Women thrives on its own donations, and does substantial, well documented investigation into topics of importance to ordinary Canadians: if they had ANY IDEA of the NDP’s real, radical agenda—talk about “hidden agendas”!—Jack and company wouldn’t be quite so popular.)
Back to Insite: has there been any coverage of the fact that “MORE THAN 400 OVERDOSES OCCURRED AT THE FACILITY”? What the heck were those Insite nurses doing?

What was Saskatoon’s experience? Hundreds of thousands of needles discarded everywhere? This is ‘harm reduction’?

I pine for the good old days when someone would just poison the heroin supply in the lower mainland and “shazaam” 35 less drains on the taxpayer.
Why would dealers who make their money off of heroin poinson the supply and kill their clients?
That was a myth.
What actually happened was that the model of insulin syringes that are commonly used was changed by the authorities and a large number of addicts were unable to determine the proper dosage because of the barrel change on the syringes.(with accompanying changes in graduate markings)
They ended up giving themselves double doses with the result that they ODed.
Of course the MSM reported that the users were dieing from bad drugs to cover up the culpability of the authorities who made the decision to change the syringes.
