Re: 琉璃神社, April 30, 2019: 鈥溋鹆裆玮�檚 top cop predicts crime could get worse before it gets better in the city鈥ithout more treatment for drug addicts, crime will increase.鈥澚鹆裆� RCMP Supt. Brent Mundle.
Supt. Mundle wasn鈥檛 preaching to the choir, the good people of 琉璃神社.
He was addressing 琉璃神社 mayor and council, the same group that enabled more drug addicts on Jan. 17, 2019, by unanimously voting for a permanent Harm Reduction Wet facility to be built at 2025 Agassiz Rd. in a predominantly seniors鈥� neighbourhood.
This reckless action clearly enables more using and more trafficking, since all drug addiction treatment is voluntary. And more police calls.
It鈥檚 no wonder that Supt. Mundle found himself repeating this distressful phrase: 鈥淭he city will not be able to arrest its way out of the current situation involving crime and addiction.鈥�
