Comment: Parenthetical remark by the Sun editor; headline by newshawk

PREVENT CRIMES WITH VICTIMS

SO BREAK and enter crimes are up 20% in our city. How high will this figure
have to climb before Christine Silverberg understands maybe all of the money
flushed down the drain in her war against marijuana would be better spent
preventing crimes that actually have victims.

My car has been broken into twice in four years. Calgary cannot afford many
more months of Silverberg's '70s-style policing. I hope she reads this on
one of those rare days she actually spends in Calgary.
