In case you've been out of the country for a long vacation away from the media you know that we have a drug turf war going on in Vancouver.Over the weekend,2 more Asian males with known gang connections were murdered in their cars.This,I am told,makes the 25&26th victims of gang violence since the recent formation of I-HIT,the special murder squad that to this day has not made one arrest in the targeted hits.They have arrested a few street level people that took the law into their own none too competent hands but nothing in the hired professional hits of high level gang members.The B.C. government is putting forward their legal "experts"who are telling anyone who'll listen that we need to bring back the habitual criminal act.So far the attorney general and the solicitor general have both given speeches.Both used the life sentence that is the habitual criminal act in their talks.That this law was ruled cruel and unusual makes no difference to these two.It's a shame there's no law against politicians that use drug addicts to try to make political points.These men have no conscience.
