from Vancouver Rundown

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim and close to two dozen other local government leaders are asking the feds to pave the way to make Eby’s plan viable. That plan also has the backing of leaders from the Musqueam Band, Vancouver Fire, Vancouver Police and the Canadian Police Association. Politicians aside - some experts in drug addiction say forced care simply doesn’t work.
