Anyone else tired of Tony Clement's histrionics concerning Insite? Is there anyone annoyed by his Conservative Party's use of taxpayers' money to leaflet East Vancouver neighbourhoods to lie to voters? The 'Safe?' flyer, which was sent to this page by an M.P. in Quebec (My MP, Libby Davies wouldn't distribute this cynical opportunistic garbage), has a close-up of a syringe lying by a playground swing set, a scene that's being PREVENTED by having a safe injection site.
Anyone else disgusted by Clements ad hominem attacks on the medical community? His questioning the ethics of doctors who support Insite amounts to slandering the entire Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, which sponsors Insite and is made up of physicians from Whistler to the U.S. Border. Clement also says the Tories have plans to close Insite, which flies in the face of a Supreme Court ruling that squarely places the facility in British Columbia's jurisdiction. Claims of overwhelming support from the law enforcement community are specious at best, especially considering it was a former Police Coroner who got the ball rolling on Insite when he was Mayor of Vancouver.
So, Peter Ladner, Gregor Robertson, how about it? Which of you is going to show voters in Vancouver who has the courage to be Mayor of this city by giving this bullying idiot of a Health Minister what he really deserves?
