Exile noticed that Brit Hume covered this story on his Fox News channel show’s “Grapevine” segment. Here’s a video. It starts at 1:02 (time remaining).
Sue-Ann Levy wrote a good column in the Toronto Sun today—and I’m not sure I’ve pointed to or quoted her column before, so hi there, Ms. Levy!
Two weeks ago, Ann McKenny and Anne Clune stumbled upon a cache of used needles and “safer crack kit” paraphernalia—left mere steps from the children’s playground in the Sumach-Shuter park.
The two Cabbagetown residents were appalled, not just at the discovery hypodermic syringes, crack pipes, matches, alcohol pads and matches “lying loose” in the grass, but at the city of Toronto and Toronto public health logos emblazoned on many of the items.
They even found a pamphlet from The Works (a public health needle exchange program) which suggests people (drug users, one supposes) call 416-392-0250 with any questions.
[…] When she heard Coun. Kyle Rae and public health officials launch their $300,000 Toronto drug strategy this past Friday, she could hardly believe her ears.
The strategy’s 66 recommendations propose—among other things—that the city broaden its “innovative” harm-reduction strategies (the report’s words, not mine), including the distribution of crack use kits.
[…] After viewing the dirty drug paraphernalia found in the playground, I have to question whether city officials are more concerned about “harm reduction” for drug users than they are for innocent schoolchildren.
And then let’s jump down to this potent statement:
McKenny calls giving public funds to enable drug use “one of the most horrific things” she’s heard of. “Public money is going towards killing rather than saving people,” she said.
Perhaps she’s forgotten about Canada’s limitless, restrictionless, fully taxpayer-funded abortions that Canada’s liberal-left ghoulishly treasure as some sort of a “Canadian value”; which take over 100,000 pure, innocent, helpless human lives each and every year rather than letting them live. Sorry for the reminder.
To pull a quote out of context, McKenny also said (about the injection sites):
“So many of the things that have come out of City Hall in the past few years, I can hardly believe I’m living in a civilized country,” said McKenny.
As you probably know, while you’re in the bastion of it, it’s hardly limited to Toronto City Hall, Ms. McKenny. It’s liberal-leftist fundamentalism run amok —-throughout much of Canada. And we’ve got to stop it.
