U.S.-STYLE POLICY WILL COST MORE

Re: 'Tough-on-crime' policies actually make us less safe (Dec 6).

If Canada is going to adopt the failed U.S. drug policies, Canadians
should expect a dramatic increase in their taxes or to sacrifice some
of their existing services, such as their health-care program.

The key to success in life is to do what successful people do and to
avoid doing what unsuccessful people do.

So why does Canada want to adopt failed U. S. drug policies? Would you
seek financial advice from a homeless person?
