JJ "I will never see a judge in Whitehorse deliver my idea of justice." You will need to move to Alabama for your justice.

With the NDP safe injection sight can a dealer have his drugs checked to ensure they are safe?

And remember Juniper, Judges, politicians and the very rich get free security in their neighborhoods. We low rate social underlings get the criminals for neighbors. So, we become the victims of everything.

As long as there is a market, sellers will be here. Dealing in drugs is just another business. Someone wants drugs, someone wants to sell drugs. It's a deal. Keep picking up the couriers, a 'boss' has a dozen more where that one came from.
Criminals, pushers, thieves, murderers, rapists, all get an easy ride in the Yukon. Actually, all of Canada.
"It is the day of the criminal, the victims carry the burden of blame...our arbitrators of justice don't give a damn really... at the end of the day, they still get a paycheck whether they have meted out justice as seen by the community, or justice as seen by the criminal. Perhaps they make their determinations on their health? If they have a belly ache, you go to jail, if they're feeling pretty chipper.. you walk...I can be pretty sure of one thing..I will never see a judge in Whitehorse deliver my idea of justice."

What else is new. Whitehorse is just a place for people to run and hide.
