DRUG ABUSE: TREATMENT FACILITIES LACKING

Dear Editor,

Several news items in the Vancouver and Langley papers outline the stance
that both Randy White and Rich Coleman have taken on the issue of drug
abuse and treatment.

Both gentlemen came out so powerfully on the side of abstinence only, and
against harm reduction, that I found myself thinking, "Well, gosh, judging
from the fervency of their beliefs, our representatives must surely be
ensuring that such treatment is readily available in their shared
constituencies."

I have searched far and wide in the Langleys, and for some reason I can't
seem to find these facilities!

Could it possibly be that the people's spokesmen are all talk and no walk?
Would not their criticism be more worthy of respect if they actually tried
to do something about the problem?
