"the man must be mad"
Well yes but...e.a.f<br />"the man must be mad"<br />Well yes but not because of this announcement. It is not intended to actually do any about drugs and drug use. It is a direct appeal to his most conservative and fundamentalist base. It's boutique policy as I have seen some reporters call it. <br /><br />It would take a lot to pry anyone of the base out of his camp but this is to reassure them and maybe catch the occasional soft con who might defect.<br /><br />It is jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-8658060676908361442015-08-12T10:59:58.020-04:002015-08-12T10:59:58.020-04:00... who gets a creamy pleasure out of jailing youn...<i>... who gets a creamy pleasure out of jailing young Canadians...</i><br /><br />Well he does. He likes inflicting pain and suffering on people. Both Kathleen Wynne and Danny Williams have described him as a “nasty man” with reason. <br /><br />Have a look at Chapter 5 “Authoritarian Leaders” in Bob Altemeyer's book “The Authoritarians” http://members.shaw.ca/jeanaltemeyer/drbob/TheAuthoritarians.pdf.<br /><br />Harper, clearly, is a classic Double High, that is high on the Social Dominance Scale and high on the Right Wing Authoritarianism Scale. This is “not” a good combination. <br /><br />As Altemeyer so charmingly describes a Double High”:<br /><br />"Double Highs have stronger prejudices than do commonplace social dominators ... And they are more prejudiced than ordinary high RWAs ... . They seem to have piled the prejudice of the high RWA atop the prejudice of the social dominator and reached new depths."<br /><br />The Authoritarians pg. 171jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-86629693968311536162015-08-12T07:40:53.903-04:002015-08-12T07:40:53.903-04:00What drugs are making Steve look like Andy Wharhol...What drugs are making Steve look like Andy Wharhol is doing his makeup.

Just how does old Stevie think that is going to be done especially with the puny amount of money he has allocated. Although the amounts might sound large, they are in effect, minimal. It wouldn't even buy a luxury home in Vancouver or Toronto.<br /><br />What we need is a place people can go to test their drugs. Having seen a number of drug deaths among "regular" people in Greater Vancouver, due to "bad" drugs, testing will save lives, not "rooting out drug labs". The man is truly mad. <br /><br />We need more Insights across Canada. It saves lives. It cuts costs. When people don't share needles, there is less transmission of diseases. <br /><br />There are people who can never come off drugs. Its that simple. It is less expensive and more human to just supply some people. steve and rona just don't get it. <br /><br />Not even steve's base believes all the bullshit he peddles about drugs. most police chiefs advocate de criminalization of some drugs. steve doesn't know best. In my opinion steve has a jail fetish. perhaps he can get a room in one with his good pal del mastroe.a.f.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06244666617774794918noreply@blogger.com
