An editorial writer in Vancouvers second most read newspaper wrote suggesting that chronic drug offenders steal something like,750,000 dollars daily.They must have big shopping carts.The writer goes on to suggest that the Harper ,"drug plan?",is compassionate because it puts millions into treatment.What it fails,as all these right wing agendists do, is that the overwhelming share of the overall crime budget is for enforcement and that the "millions",are a drop in the bucket in the big picture.Mr.Harper must read.He has to know the monumental failure such plans have had in the states.His only motive,therefor,is to pander to his religious right,neo conservative base.Putting us into Afghanistan was proof to me that Harper failed history in school.
