At first I thought, perhaps, it was a handful of syringes all ready for a throw-down, a la Little Johnny Baird.
After all, how else do you explain focus-test backed crap like the following from Steve's Addiction 'Health' Minister, Mr. Tony Clement:
"Junkies and pushers don't belong near children and families. They should be in rehab or behind bars."
Now, just what the heckfire was Mr. Clement talking about?
Was it a phalynx of crackhouses, cheek-by-jowl, coming soon to a block near you?
Was it an armed insurrection led by shotgun-wielding gang-bangers holding your entire neighbourhood hostage?
Was it the daily sale of dimebags during gym class at your kids' school?
Of course not.
It was none of those things.
But when Mr. Clement uttered those words about a small-scale harm reduction program in Vancouver called 'Insite' that actually helps the junkies and the sick, he and his handlers (eg. see: Sparrow, Ryan) wanted all of us, especially if we are women and/or swing voters, to think of all those scary things listed above, and more.
Which brings us back to the title of this post.
What, exactly, does Mr. Clement have up his sleeve?
And why haven't we heard anything from John Reynolds lately?

Click through on that last one - it's worth it.
Interesting, don't you think, how Mr. Clements has now dropped the pretense of attacking the science and instead is now going after the doctors.
