Absolutely. It's shocking how vulnerable homeless, mentally ill and addicted people are. My son was a constant victim of violence. He was never safe. The great irony of bafflegab and buzzwords like “harm reduction” is that while he was out on the street, decades' worth of living outside, he was predated on by other addicts and by dealers. He had a knife held to his throat for a two-dollar drug debt. He was routinely threatened. Someone in my presence said to my son, “You know, we'd break your legs for that.” I mean, what...?
We need to support police. We need to give them all the tools we can. Bill C-5 should be repealed. We need drug dealers and drug creators to face the stiffest penalties. Our children are dying, and they're dying under horrific circumstances, being predated upon.
