WCTU II: THE REVENGE?

I note, with some wry amusement, that the The Fort Saskatchewan Drug
Awareness Committee is in search of a logo and a slogan.

I might suggest WCTU II, but I fear that the joke would be lost. It
occurs to me that there are more substantive issues than slogans and
logos, notably program content. If the performance of the Committee to
date us any indication, it might well benefit from a little self education.

The Committee seems to have little understanding or appreciation of
such issues as context, harm reduction. evaluation, or ethics. While
they claim to have some information about epidemiology they are
reluctant to share such critical information as their data set,
questionnaire design or research protocols, a fact which is in itself
telling.

Frankly, these things disturb me, moreover I am disturbed by City
Council's apparent support of the Committee I am beginning to think
that council is getting some bad advice.
