Methin' Up My Neighbourhood

A couple of readers took me to task offline for not providing a link to Vancouver Mayoral hopeful Christy Clark's sudden seizure of the Crystal Meth Road as a campaign issue.

So, I went directly to the candidate's website and found this, which is apparently an important part of her top priority for the City - Public Safety:

"Crystal meth is particularly disturbing because of the long-term mental health impacts and rapid decline that characterizes the drug. This is not a downtown eastside issue- it's citywide. It's in our schools. It's in Kerrisdale. It's in Cedar Cottage. It's in the West End....."

Whew!

Glad to know that Ms. Clark knows that this scourge is affecting my neighbourhood.

Just can't help but wonder if she actually knows where that neighborhood is (hint: it's the one that could be mistaken for a softwood lumber issue if one were, oh say, a Provincial Cabinet Minister).
