What were they thinking?

I just can’t believe what I am reading about the City of Kelowna constructing a home where drug addicts can freely buy, sell, share and consume their drugs of choice, some of which will even be supplied by the government without any fear of reprisal.

Since when did it become the government's role to “support” drug addicts?

Yep, that’s where I want may tax dollars going.

I know people who can’t afford to feed their kids, and they get no help. My wife has been waiting for a medical procedure for over a year now, many seniors can’t afford the high cost of rent. No help for them either, but let’s spend millions of dollars to house, support, feed and supply drugs to addicts. That will surely help them quit and become contributing members of society.

What kind of mind thinks of these things? Next, we’ll be building safe houses for robbers and criminals, after all we don’t want them going to jail, it’s not their fault they are criminals.

I just can’t wrap my mind around this nonsense. I truly hope the area residents have a good lawyer, so they can sue those responsible when their neighbourhood goes to pot (pun intended).

I’ll bet not one politician who approved this would allow the same to be built in their neighbourhood.
