  2. These people aren’t motivated by any sort of “freedom” to consume or the desire to save lives (I’m referring to the old fool with the ridiculous looking bone-white salad – comb your hair buddy, you’re on bloody TV). They are motivated by self-interest like everyone else. That, and they suffer from a massively inflated view of their own intellect, they are the smartest person in the room and won’t hesitate to inform you of that. Their livelihood depends on government largesse and coincidentally, that is what all of their research and experience tends to rationalize. They are a component of the healthcare-industrial complex in Canada.

  3. Well, I will say it if no one else will: I don’t give a damn if those human derelicts live or die. We can learn from the Mexicans here – when they come across a troublesome addict they go into the tank for 90 days. No expensive treatments, no coddling or hand holding – and if they survive they come out clean.

  4. BobC is spot on. There seems to be no end to this insanity just take the Coastal Health as an example. E-cigarettes must be banned even though they emit no smoke or harmful substance whatsoever, but hey no problem with crack pipes and any other drug. The whole “health care” system in this country has been taken over by radical, anti-freedom (unless it is illegal drugs or prostitution) agenda-driven zealots. I find aiding and abetting addicts instead of helping them recover immoral and criminal.

  7. BobC and Alain are both spot on.
    Although, Alain, I might add that while society slept it seems that radicals of some sort, mostly of the Marxist kind, have taken most of the institutions in our society.
    “Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do with the approval of their own conscience.”
    C. S. Lewis, God in the Dock (Eerdmans)

  8. Does EVERY activist in B.C. have an English accent?
    What,you f***ed up your own Country so much you have to start over in a new one?
    Anyone can make a pipe to smoke anything in, using an empty pop or beer can. You can also make a very respectable pipe out of tin foil.
    Alain and Bobc, right on.

  9. Don, way back when I also noticed that MANY of the older left-wing rabble-rousers had English accents. Jinny Sims & Libby Davies for starters. I wonder if they left England when Thatcher came to power and found our beloved country easy pickings to destroy.

  10. Ken (Kulak), I totally agree. I also concur with those who observed how the majority of ex-Brits are neo-marxists. I noticed this myself, just like most ex-Americans here most of whom were draft-dodgers. I have met and known the odd ex-Brit who was not infected with neo-marxism but have yet to meet any ex-American who is not. I don’t claim to have met or known all of either group and am willing to accept there may be other odd exceptions. As for ex-Brits most of the non-marxists I knew arrived and settled in Canada prior to the mid 60s for what it is worth.

  13. So I guess this means that Vancouver is all that it is cracked up to be.

  14. Smoking a cigarette (as disgusting as that is), is a legal product, but you can be fined for smoking in a public place.
    Crack is an ILLEGAL product, but is legal to smoke…..

  15. Give registered addicts free drugs, as much as they want as often as they want. The abusers will OD and stop being a burden on our stressed health care system. The rest will then have an alternative to a life of crime to support an expensive habit and just might get their lives back in order.
    When in the course of human history has any prohibition done anything but ensure that criminals will control the supply and make it inordinately expensive.
    Get crime lords and their lapdog politicians out of the drug business.

  16. And if I stand on the street and drink a beer I will be arrested. But I have to walk through clouds of ganja smoke every day as potheads puff away on street corners.
    Where are the beer vending machines?

  17. Maybe the name “British” Columbia has an attraction for Brits, perhaps it should be changed, drop the British, call it Columbia. BTW, doesn’t Libby Davies have a British accent?

  18. I emigrated from Britain to Vancouver BC in 1980. What I found in Vancouver was a wretched city in a beautiful environment. It was certainly no place to bring up children, the city was rife with prostitution and drugs. Not only that but it had no social cohesion whatsoever, but that is typical of Canada as a whole.
    The relief I felt when I finally managed to leave Canada for the US was almost overwhelming, and I still feel that gratitude 20 years later.
    Incidentally a lot of the British ex-pats I met were lefty envious, lazy BS merchants of the type I thought I had left behind, the creep in the video clip is typical.

  19. You are no ordinary Canadian, you are a grammatically challenged and social half-wit who doesn’t think for himself, as you purport. You are classic a right wing, anti-establishment complainer who is too afraid to be part of the solution and so choses to stand on the sidelines shouting insults. If you feel so strongly, stop being so lazy, get off your sofa and run for public office – then you can test your theories on people who can decide if you are relevant or not. You may have a better chance of public office in the USA though. Just some friendly advice from an ordinary Canadian.
