And that's why they never got my vote last time.... nor will they get my vote this next time.
Instead of some 10 million dollar awareness plan, why don't they put that money into some actual research into some new "Awareness" with some updated facts? |
There is no effective anti-drug strategy, policy, etc.
It would cost hundreds of billion of U.S. Dollars, at least.
I see no attempts in order to anticipate and/or appraoch that, so far.
Such plan would require the following (at least) :
1. rehabilitation process for drug-addicted individuals, (and that would cost the most)
2. (a near) total control of all the borders
3. an extremely harsh policy against all drug distributors and/or makers, (including all the supporters)
Point #1, needs a completely new approach that would affect all the HealthCare programs.
It must be supported by Labor and Employment agencies, in order rehabilitated individuals to start participating in their "new life".
Otherwise, all programs, funds, etc. are lost with no chance to recuperate any "penny" out of it.
Point #2, seems to be unreal, completely, since it would require the most modern technology (along with well-trained personnel), to monitor any drug activity around the borders, not to mention hiring new personnel in order to secure and/or protect borders.
A task, that is beyond today's reality.
Point #3, looks as the most realistic.
We are talking hundreds of billion of U.S. Dollars, yearly (!!!), and that must be continued for the next decade, (at least). The ammount of funds would be lowered (eventually), as progress brings positive outcomes.
Then, whatever Canadian governing body says, I feel I am watching "(Political) Comedy Central" channel.
