CRACK COCAINE IN NUNAVUT MUST BE STOPPED

Upon hearing the disturbing news that the worst drug possible has made
it to Nunavut, and even worse, to my home town of Pangnirtung, I felt
obliged to write a letter to all those who live there, because,
whether you're involved or not, you will feel the ripple effect strongly.

Nunavut is too young and too strong a territory to be destroyed by the
epidemic that this drug will cause. Our youth have too much going for
them to be drawn into a downward spiral because they are naive about
this drug.

But a lack of education on crack cocaine will get the best of
them.

That is why I am asking that everyone, involved or not, make every
effort possible to teach people about this and to take as many
preventative measures as possible to stop this in its tracks before it
becomes a serious problem. Once it does become a serious problem, the
damage will have been done.

As long as everyone sticks together and doesn't take a backseat on
this issue, I am confident that the fine people of Nunavut can fight
and conquer this together -- knowledge is power.

Although crack cocaine has polluted the rest of Canada, Nunavut does
not have to follow suit.
