LIKE A ROCK

So BC's Attorney General will not lift a manicured finger to stem the tide
of drug-induced deaths because the federal government "has not picked up the
ball" (Act On Drug Report, Urges PDA's Wilson, July 15).

Glen Clark should fire Ujjal Dosanjh forthwith, along with our equally
ineffective and uncaring health minister, Penny Priddy. Doing nothing in the
face of such suffering is scarcely human, let alone humane. More like a cold
hard rock - actually, an Allan Rock.

Alan Randell

(By way of explanation to our non-Canadian readers, Allan Rock is Canada's
federal Minister of Health.)
