Victoria is never mentioned in this article, but it ranks in the top crime cities in Canada -- despite its middling size. Why? Because of property crime: drug addicts searching for funds for their next score. That's what's driving the crime. (Incidentally, neither needle exchanges nor safe injection sites will address that issue: addicts will still need money to pay for drugs, and they'll continue to get that money through crime -- which continues to increase social disorder.)
Ouch, talk about giving a whole industry (real estate) a black eye! This is pretty casual hear-say -- if it's true, let's have some statistics. The NIMBYs in Victoria will totally embrace the idea that criminals are buying all those condos ...
that's like radical Islam or fighting an insurgency or guerrilla war: very difficult. No clear leadership. Any radical imam can become a leader; insurgents are everywhere and nowhere.
- re. this and the previous sentences in this paragraph: Campbell is just speaking politico-speak. Such drivel. Sure, "examine" the laws around organized crime; sure, say that "everyone" can be "comfortable" here. OMG.
