You’ve even posted that allegation on a post I made in support of Vancouver Occupy. The accusation doesn’t really make sense. I am however interested in your blog about corruption in the RCMP and the courts. I just don’t understand how anyone who can be concerned about corruption in the police and the courts isn’t concerned about corruption within organized crime on the streets. E division? That guy’s in Surrey? Interesting. I’ll have to look him up.Dennis Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736981069304416233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-6719536643999908882011-11-06T15:21:23.375-08:002011-11-06T15:21:23.375-08:00My point is everyone quotes the Four Pillars but t...My point is everyone quotes the Four Pillars but they refuse to admit there is anything in that plan other than harm reduction. Removing the other three pillars from the plan has been described as a one legged horse. It’s like paddling on one side of a boat. It just takes you in circles. If we are going to quote the Four Pillars we have to quote all of it not just one part of it.Dennis Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736981069304416233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-17914835829569960262011-11-06T15:18:20.456-08:002011-11-06T15:18:20.456-08:00I don’t support criminalizing addicts.

If someone is shooting up in public, then arrest them, take it away and send them on their way. I don’t think public drug use is acceptable. Yet the real problem is letting them sell crack in public and not doing anything about it. I find that suspect.Dennis Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736981069304416233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-22441194991495289272011-11-06T15:13:03.794-08:002011-11-06T15:13:03.794-08:00"...targeting organized crime, drug dealing, ..."...targeting organized crime, drug dealing, drug houses, problem businesses involved in the drug trade, and improving coordination with health services..." - Four Pillars Drug Strategy<br /><br />The plan targets drug addicts with harm reduction and treatment, and uses enforcement to target the drug trade. Despite your personal opinions, criminalizing addicts has proven ineffective at stopping addiction. Equating harm reduction with enabling is silliness.Brett Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09480613763074337633noreply@blogger.com
