…Can The Howls Of “Activist Judges!” Be Far Behind?
Regardless, it looks like the Framers of the Cons figure they can make hay (or at least change the channel away from the Trostkyiest Abortion Zombies for a newscycle or three) with this one.
How else to explain why Mr. Harper instead of some flunkie, as in days past, was out front with the usual law and order babble after Friday’s decision by the Supreme Court that Insite can stay:
…(Prime Minister)Harper expressed disappointment with the latest decision.
“The preference of this government in dealing with drug crime is obviously to prosecute those who sell drugs and create drug addiction in our population and in our youth,” he said in Quebec City.
“When it comes to treating drug addiction, [the government’s preference is] to try and do so though programs of prevention and treatment rather than through the issues that were in front of this court in terms of so-called harm reduction.”…
And on the ‘all treatment, no harm reduction’ point…..
How long will it be before the Framers, and their US DOJ backers, wheel out the good Dr. Mangham to start cranking the Wurlitzer with his own not-so purist peer-reviewed research that is all, how shall we put it…..

And Philip Owen is getting lots of well deserved props these days for helping make the Four Pillars happen in Lotusland….However, it would be a real shame if we didn’t remember that somebody had to show the then Mayor, Mr. Owen that the junkies and the sick are people too….Me, I figure one of the most important somebodies in that regard was filmmaker Nettie Wild.
Oh, hang on….I’d missed the fact that the good Dr. Mangham and friends, now with new and, we can only assume, ‘improved’ sponsors like ‘Real Women Canada’ has already been out on the hustings priming the wurlitzer’s pump with his usual ‘analysis’ that is not based on any primary data generated by either himself or his close colleagues.
