The man walking point on the UCP government’s addiction file made a first appearance in this space in the beginning of August and a lot of readers picked up what he was laying down.
“Every time a failed policy makes its way into the government their logic is we need to double down.”Straighten their twisted logic out and you’re looking for trouble. Afraid when we start asking such questions as: Do we want to live in a society that punishes our families for these radical experiments in social policy? As a society, will we tolerate open drug use on transit?Article contentThe UCP cabinet minister says we often think of treating the addict and that’s fair enough.
So, under the new law in the works, people such as a family member, a police officer, a health-care professional would have to make the case before a specially-trained judge or commission that an addict is a danger to themselves or others.Article contentIf they committed a crime or crimes and got jail time, they would have to do their time and would get their treatment behind bars.
