Drug war update



In Edmonton's ongoing battle to fight the deadly scourge of tobacco, they have sided fully with alcohol.



The Keep it Simple club in Edmonton will not be getting any exemption to the new bylaw, which only allows smoking in establishments which hold a liquor license.



In related news, Vancouver closes its first safe injection site, because it was discovered that heroin users were occasionally smoking on the premises.



Wait a minute! No, it didn't! Despite a way more restrictive anti-smoking bylaw, the city of Vancouver is smart enough to know that public health bylaws should not attempt to take precedence over, for example, public health. What are your childhood traumas, Edmonton city councilors? Grow up and get your heads on straight. I fear when their one sanctuary no longer feels welcoming to them, some alcoholics turned regulars at this place will return to the bottle. I hope those ones hang around city hall, you dolts.
