Taking a page from the U.S. War on
Drugs, the conservative Canadian government is expected
to release a national drug-control strategy that emphasizes
law enforcement and eschews harm reduction, the CanWest
News Service reported May 23.
The strategy being developed by the
government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper is expected
to target prosecution of marijuana grow operations
and drug dealers and cuts funding for harm-reduction
programs such as Vancouver's heroin safe-injection
site. The plan also is expected to include more funding
for treatment and prevention, including a national
media campaign to counter youth perceptions that marijuana
use is legal.
Canadian HIV-AIDS Legal Network executive
director Joanne Csete characterized the plan as "a
U.S.-style war on drugs, an approach that has proven
to be counterproductive and a tragic waste of public
funds."
"They haven't explicitly said
they are getting rid of harm reduction, but the budget
numbers speak for themselves," said Leon Mar
of the Canadian HIV-AIDS Legal Network. "There
is no money for harm reduction, which is quite ominous."
