Eby's reversal on Decriminalization of harmful drugs

Lotus Land is reporting that "Eby's reversal on decriminalization signals a new stage in BC's toxic drug crisis. The broad consensus on harm reduction has hit a wall with a public demand for more far-reaching answers to addiction, treatment, and effective enforcement."

"Premier David Eby’s dramatic appeal to Ottawa to amend BC’s decriminalization program to ban drug use in public spaces marks a turning point in the province’s eight-year-old battle with the fentanyl-driven overdose crisis. BC’s generation-long focus on harm reduction has hit a wall as fentanyl produces a wave of open drug use, hundreds of homeless, ill …"

OK so let's talk about how Harm Reduction has become Harm Promotion. John Horgan was a good man. So was Larry Campbell. Larry Campbell became the mayor of Vancouver and was compared to the TV series Da Vinci's inquest as he was also a corner who became mayor. 

Larry Campbell was rightfully concerned with all the fatal drug overdoses. We all are. We differ on the most effective solution. 

Larry Campbell came up with the Four Pillars program which was good. Unfortunately, political extremists with an agenda threw away three of the pillars and turned harm reduction into harm promotion. After seeing the failure of his plan Larry Campbell started supporting the Devil's safe supply delusion. Somewhere in between we had the safe injection site.

After that failed we opened more and more safe injections sites and turned the name to safe consumption sites which made addiction and drug overdose fatalities skyrocket. 

That's when they joined Portland and came up with Decriminalization which instantly failed. It made public drug use skyrocket and public safety was at risk. So they said OK that didn't work and got rid of it yet they continue with all the well meaning insanity that got us here. 

The Four Pillar program has four pillars not one. Enforcement, prevention and treatment are pivotal pillars in that program. The Portugal model succeeded because they made treatment mandatory. The political extremists failed to mention that part. 

They didn't want to reduce addition they wanted to promote addiction by making it more socially acceptable. 

Safe supply is a doctrine of the Devil because there's no such thing as a safe supply of harmful drugs. The primary point behind prevention is to educate the public by reinforcing the fact that harmful drugs are bad for you and you shouldn't do them. We lost that when we adapted the safe supply lie.

We abandoned the prevention pillar when we started calling lethal injection sites safe injections sites. We abandoned the prevention pillar when we sent out nurses in the DTES to show people how to use drugs safely. There's no safe way to use harmful drugs. Harmful drugs are harmful.

So just like with the failed decriminalization experiment we can all see that everything we have been doing to reduce drug fatalities has had the opposite effect. It's increased addiction and increased fatal overdoses. 

As inspector John McKay pointed out, another reason the safe injection sites increased addiction and overdose fatalities is because the police created a buffer zone around the injection site where they stopped enforcing the law. Another abandonment of one of the critical four pillars - Enforcement. 

Not only did they stop arresting people for using harmful drugs in public outside the safe injection sites, built they also stopped arresting drug dealers selling drugs outside the safe injection sites. The purpose of decriminalization was to arrest the drug dealers not the drug addict. Something they also failed to do. 

So now Ken Sims is encouraging the VPD to arrest drug dealers in the DTES and the deranged extremists complain about a police state. Enforcing the law is one of the four pillars. Refusing to do that abandons the program and supports lawlessness - anarchy. That's what the extremists want. They want to be able to sell drugs and sell stolen goods without law enforcement stopping them. If you do that, addiction and fatalities spread like a forest fire which is exactly what we have seen.

When harm promotion failed, they said let's have a safe injection site. When fatal overdoses increased they said we need more safe injection sites. When drug overdoses continued to increase they say we need a safe supply. That is Satanic. 

Not only is there no such thing as a safe supply of harmful drugs but providing free drugs to the public will instantly bankrupt our precious health care system. You can't get a MRI or cancer meds but you can get free heroin. That is how good intentions become defiantly evil at the snap of a finger.

Musqueam First Nation Opposes Cowichan Decision

CBC is reporting that "In a news release, the Musqueam First Nation says that Chief and Council are deeply offended by the recent Supreme Court of British Columbia decision on Cowichan Tribes v Canada. Leadership and our entire community fundamentally disagree with the court's decision."

That's because this is one of many overlapping applications. The Musqueam nation is in Vancouver beside several other Tribes. The Cowichan nation is named after the Cowichan valley on Vancouver Island. The reason why land claims are often problematic is because several different tribes claim the same land. As a result there are more outstanding land claims then their is land in BC. That means we're going to have to share. 

This illustrates another problem. As soon as the crown makes an agreement with a larger tribe a smaller tribe objects to it. 

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "The question that dominated a Richmond public meeting this week on the impact of a recent court decision on Aboriginal title was a simple one: Why weren’t we told sooner?”

"It was the province that first asked the court, back in 2017, to require notification. The court rejected the application, saying at that stage that no remedy from the court would impact the private landowners." Oh really?

"Case management judge J.A. Power of the B.C. Supreme Court rejected motions for notification from the provincial and federal governments. Article content The judge worried that if the court ordered formal notifications to private landowners it could be swamped with applications from them for standing." Of course it would. It's their land. They have standing. They have a right to submit opposition to the application. 

Power ruled that “It would for all practical purposes put a halt to these proceedings.” So it should. Proceeding without them was unlawful. "Note: At this stage. In the event Cowichan were to revise its intentions in future, the private landowners could then proceed to court and file a complaint that they were not given formal notice earlier. Of course they can. They can do that now. 

"The judge also recorded that the Cowichan Tribes had vigorously opposed the application to give formal notice to landowners because the Cowichan were not, at that time, seeking possession of the private fee-simple land."

This would support the Cowichan lawyers recent claim that no one was seeking to kick private owners off their property. They were seeking a different remedy. They want more money. A smaller tribe from a different area wants more money. Again. This is why not all overlapping applications are valid. 

The province and John Rustad both oppose this decision. 

Do you own your home? Are your private property rights at risk? This is a valid question thanks to David Eby’s NDP who directed the crown not to argue extinguishment of indigenous rights to protect private property rights.

Now, because of him, mortgages are at risk. https://t.co/paWkxhquKD
