As for their decision behind the ruling to not require handwashing while working in restaurants, I can only wish the "Lynch Mob" the pleasure of contracting some of the intestinal parasites that immigrants to Canada are importing with them, roundworms, hookworms, etc which have been diagnosed in the fecal samples that I have collected as an Occupational Health Nurse. Then there are the locally acquired parasites, Beaver Fever, Liver Flukes, tapeworms etc. Buon Appitito!

He was a licensed drug-dealer with no sympathy for his methadone victims. The law needed to be amended, and that has happened, so perhaps predators like Mr. Wolsey will be curbed.

Since when does one or two interest groups have the power or think they have the authority to even over turn the laws of the land especially when they represent a group that does nothing but break the law .I can only guess how many people who drive in this area of town who have had to swallow there hearts as some intoxicated addict floats across the street in a haze of consumption. Even worse the poor souls who have actually hit someone and had to live with it. ''THESE FREAKS'' and i don't use that term lightly have never had themselves been victimized by this and would scream the loudest had they ever been exposed to this type of lawlessness. In short enough is enough, drug addicts are entitled to the same rules laws benefits of our society as the rest of us because they choose to live a lawless life why does that give them a green light to challenge it.

A room mate of mine was also homeless for almost a year he himself spent two hundred and sixty days in shelters, the common link for me and most of the dtes my friend and many of my friends who were homeless, is addiction and the race to get high at any cost. Even to ruin our lives we have no problem admitting this yes we lost control of our lives we were unable to hang on to most of our life skills we chose to slowly deteriorate into our addiction and the life that comes with it. This no mystery to me or my friends the homeless problem as it exists today here in Vancouver is partly because of choices these people have or have not made, there will always be those who no matter what you do they are unable to take care of themselves. With me and the choices i made in the past addiction ruled. Today it no longer does but i see for the most part the majority of the shelters today are full of people who choose addiction for now because we have support services that take care of you no matter what we do. In my opinion this is keeping people with there hands open instead of being accountable with there lives and seeking the right support to change there lives.
