Liberal Party of Canada taking steps towards providing Free Tax Payer Funded Welfare For Recreational Opioid Use – August 20, 2020,
When every other week you read about the Liberal Party of Canada giving away money to this and that charity to this or that corporation, it would sound cruel if the Federal Government couldn’t put some money aside for drug abusers?
I remember having my mind blown by an NDP person from British Columbia visiting Toronto for a real estate seminar, at the time I was really into real estate investing, this individual wholeheartedly believed in supervised-consumption sites, which are government-sponsored safe-zones to do drugs.
Leftists are sensitive, and after listening to him talk about politics, which does come up when you’re doing real estate investing it was clear to me that he was an NDP supporter. So to avoid a back and forth I responded hi belief in supervised-consumption sites, with the following response how about we put the supervised-consumption sites next door to your beautiful house in the suburbs?
I’m all in if that’s your plan, I said with a smile. He then looked at me with a blank stare and then walked away I assume believing that I wasn’t serious or that I was mocking him. I admit it was a bit insensitive, but when Leftists dream up these big government ideas, they don’t consider the effects of the local community.
I personally don’t believe that poor people have the right to live in a major city. I know people who have to travel 2 hours to work via the GO-Train because they can’t afford GTA rents, but yet we have unproductive people on Welfare living in Government housing who don’t work, don’t want to work, don’t pay their fair share of taxes and vote for the politician who will give the free crap.
Why should a low wage earner have to move 2 hours away from where they work while an unproductive person on welfare lives in Toronto for free? Now, what a supervised-consumption site really is, is it’s a place that gives more people more excuses to be unproductive and collect welfare.
Because when a person gets hooked on drugs at some point they’re going to crash, they’re going to be a burden on the system and they will qualify for welfare for their entire lives. Furthermore most of the time, on their road to recovery, most drug abusers tend to believe in conspiracy theories, while at the same time feeling a sense of entitlement as they age.
I personally think recreational drugs should be legalized and although people disagree with me, I think the real problem with recreational drugs is that the market forces are suppressed from profiting from it. When something is taboo, or illegal it creates an artificial demand for it.
Because now people are curious, if I were the ruler of society, I would do things opposite, if you’re hooked on drugs, you don’t qualify for welfare, instead, you’d have to go to rehab, because you clearly have a problem. Alcoholics usually know they have a problem and if you have a drug habit the taxpayer isn’t going to finance it.
If anything I would make the private sector companies profiting from this industry morally responsible for financing their customers’ recovery. But my plan can’t even get off the ground because there is no legal market for illegal drug use. With that said, what I don’t like about the supervised-consumption sites is where the government will put them.
Governments always want to make things convenient at other people’s expense, so it wouldn’t surprise me if the Liberals put these supervised-consumption sites in major cities, nearby places where children congregate, businesses operate or nearby a park where taxpayers like to enjoy their day after work.
