Saskatchewan’s Opposition has blocked a government bill that would allow residents to enjoy a beer or glass of wine in city parks, despite announcing support for such change last summer.
A harm reduction advocate said parks can serve as safe consumption sites for alcohol if regulated properly, and tying such a proposal to alcoholism perpetuates the stigma against those with use disorders. “It needs to be well regulated and well enforced if they’re going to allow it, and that’s where we need to focus,” she said.
He said he was disappointed the bill didn’t pass unanimously, but plans to reintroduce it in the fall.“I don’t like drawing things out if we’re going to go ahead with it. If it was up to me, we’d have this all sorted out and ready for the summer,” Regina Coun. Andrew Stevens said Tuesday. She brought forward a motion last December that led the Saskatchewan Party government to propose the change.
Canada's Federal skill workers program was stopped back in 2020, maybe it will resume in July but the CRS would skyrocket, it would be a lot better if IRCC would have communicated back in 2020 that we will be stopping it for almost 2 years,some of us overaged, some IELTS expired
'Sask Party proposes last minute change to drug policy, Opposition asks for debate. Session ends, headlines vilify opposition.' Maybe addressing addiction issues, no public transport, funding cuts to cities should come before boosts to liquor industry?
