Still can't wrap my head around the fact that INSIDE federal penitentiaries they have 'Safe Needle Exchanges''..the one place in our society where we have people in permanent quarantine, under supervision yet they have drug a problem.
Go Figure.

Inmates' access to sterile needles in Canadian federal prisons continues to be severely limited, potentially exposing them to blood-borne infections including HIV and hepatitis C.
It's a program to make sure they never really recover and keeps paying whomever to provide the equipment for their daily fixes.
When they opened those Shoot m up centres downtown Ottawa around Byward Market they claimed there would be less needles around. The daycare that my wife had worked at for 8 years found more needles in the kid's play yard then ever before. Every time the kids were suppose to go out and play a few of the teachers would first have to go out and pick up the needles that were thrown over the fence.
I have no problem with my tax dollar going to help someone to get off drugs but I do have a problem subsidizing them to do more drugs.
WTF are we allowing inmates to do drugs??? WTF are we allowing people to shoot up and then there throwing their needles where kids can get pricked by them. Wife has to be careful not to get pricked when picking them up. Luckily she has never been pricked by one.
I remember when I was in Ottawa in the late 80's and early 90's going to school and Ottawa was clean, little to no homeless and Rideau street had the covered & heated walkway. I go there now to visit my daughter (U of O) who lives in Sandyhill and I'm disgusted with the city - especially the Byward market. The city did a complete 180 degree turn.Quote:
