This letter is written in regards to the city hiring an Ottawa company, Crestview Strategy Inc., to “shift our perception” of the “downtown unhoused population.”
The province of BC is funding this initiative to the tune of $110,750. Brainwash the citizens; this will correct the situation.
How about we need effective treatment centres, not safe injection sites. Once we have them in place, we need to go back to keeping small amounts of illicit drugs illegal with the consequence of doing them ending one up in treatment programs.
We also need to go back to manufacturing for our own needs in Canada and repairing our appliances from parts that we make here. People need respectable jobs so that they have a place in society, can support themselves and their families and are genuinely needed.
If government would get itself out of our personal lives, pushing their leftist ideologies and rather take care of encouraging small business for manufacturing and national transportation, and keep unions in the business of supporting their members jobs and safety on the job rather than politics, we might make some headway and a life for many young people that are ending up on our streets.
