WAR ON DRUGS KILLED POLICE OFFICER

The ill-fated drug raid on Basile Parisiris's home where two 
policemen were shot, one fatally, is just another of the consequences 
that Canadians are suffering because of the government's embracing 
U.S.-style methods of policing in the "war on drugs."

Surely we deserve better than this. The U.S. has shown the way not to 
deal with personal drug use. To follow that example is utter stupidity.
