 By VERN HUFFMAN | First of all, we do not have a border with Mexico. More importantly, these poor people are on the run (althought not to the nearest norder) because we insist on perpetuating the world wide drug prohibition which makes criminal scumbags very rich and well armed, which corrupts and brutalizes whole countries, which depletes the common wealth of societies, which gives police the power to look up your rectum and take away your house, which diverts resources from detox and rehab, which is over 100 years old (since 1908) in Canada and still does not work, and about which there is no public discussion in our country. By the by, please do not call the drug prohibition a "war on drugs" unless drugs can come in with their little drug hands up and surrender, or "drug wars" unless dugs can pick up an automatic rifle or pistol.

The Refugee Board decisions described here seem to assume that refugees are all eager to come to Canada - the truth is just the opposite. Refugees do not want to leave their countries, they are forced by necessity to flee. They are by definition unwilling - or at best, reluctant - migrants. It is arrogance on the part of Canadians to believe otherwise. I hope they realize sometime soon that they are not the Immigration Board. |

By VERN HUFFMAN | How well does anyone think the drug prohibition is working? It is the prime mover in this situation. Are we ever going to begin to discuss the drug prohibition? What is the end game of this century old (since 1908) policy? Should we review government policy every hundred years or so? In the "war on drugs", when do drugs come in with their little drug hands up? vern huffman , Burnaby, B. C. |
