ADVICE IGNORED Another great column by Mindelle Jacobs. ("Drug trade at heart of violence," Feb. 27.) Sound advice. Sure to be ignored by police and politicians everywhere. What it's all about is job security. By pretending to have a war on some drugs, it artificially keeps crime up and the cops and politburo busy. Judging by how the Robert Dziekanski case is going, I can't see change happening until the old power mongers are booted, or die. Politicians in Canada have no backbone. And the police are untrustworthy. Nice combo. STEVE BOTTRELL (Maybe you should run for office on the 'legalize drugs' platform.) - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
