Today was a day.
I stepped out to the library to read some newspapers and on the way I passed a fellow doing injection drugs and another tweaking crystal meth. On the way back, I passed the town SWAT team at a house.
These things don't 'just happen', they are the result of bad public policy. I can remember the year that the Conservatives under Mike Harris cut welfare and the beggars showed up downtown for the first time in my life. They've never left.

Why do modern conservative governments want to emulate the very communist regimes they have always claimed to hate so much?
Spend eighty years decrying totalitarian foreign governments, then become one... It's disgusting.
As an aside, Ontario also just announced removing the higher education requirement for new police officers.

It’s the difference between the finite past and the infinite frontier - between ‘what is or has been’ vs a universe of new and interesting possibilities.
Lefty politics suffers from the Netflix conundrum.
