That argument evaporated over the weekend. And the 'experts' will be left with both parties in BC having this as a plank in their platform.
Susan Holt has met and consulted with Dr. Sara Davidson numerous times in recent months according to her X posts. Obviously it would be too early to tell if this could be an item during our election in NB, but I would be surprised if there was any shift from the Liberals.
The liberals may get caught out not reading the room.

I think the political parties in general underestimate just how fed up the general population is getting with the impact on daily urban life this situation is having. As one article I read recently stated....people are past caring whether this will actually work or not, they just want to see something being done.
Very much the same way the simplistic "lock them up and throw away the key" solution strikes a chord with a population fed up with ever increasing drug addiction related property crime.
