GANG ANGST

The whole subject of gangs and drugs angers me a lot. Being a mother
of small children, you have to wonder how bad it is going to be when
my children are older.

Drug penalties need to be much steeper and worse than a slap on the
wrist, as should violence charges.

I also think there should be absolutely zero tolerance for any kind of
criminal gang activity.

There are not enough police in Grande Prairie. In fact, I hear people
make jokes on a regular basis about the lack of police enforcement and
how you can get away with darn near anything here.

We need more police and more stiff penalties for polluting our quality
of life.

Doesn't any one else seem to be concerned about this?
