ARE WE CONTENT TO LET THE DRUG LORDS RULE?

I think those of us who live in the Lower Mainland had better wake up 
and realize we are not living in Lotus Land any more. We are living 
in a place ruled by the super rich, super powerful drug lords. Is it 
not amazing that not one single murder has been solved so far?

Is it because we have the worst police forces ever or is it because 
the drug trade is one of the few industries that is actually making 
money for this province?

We are not looking at millions, we are looking at billions, and as 
our old ways of being a wealthy province are going out the window 
those billions are truly needed.

Are we willing to continue to live in a society run by drug lords, or 
are we going to look at some kind of legalization of drugs so the 
issue can be dealt with?
