A SOLUTION?

Re Pierre Poilievre Couldn’t Be More Wrong On Drug Policy (Nov. 23): If safe injection sites are working, why are there still so many deaths from illicit and toxic drugs in general? How do they work in other countries?

Switzerland has safe injection sites and also provides drugs cheaper than those on the street. But in addition, the country requires that patients go to rehab. Swiss authorities also pursue drug dealers and their importation vigorously. These are the reasons why Switzerland has its drug problem largely under control. This, I believe, is what Pierre Poilievre is saying he would do.

Generally I agree with him: Most everything in Canada is broken and Justin Trudeau carries a good deal of the blame.
