Maybe you misread my post - in no way did I say there isn't a drug problem in the Mac, the drug problem is greater in Ft Mac than anywhere else in the province, anyone in L/E will confirm that instantly. My pointing out the price of trailers had nothing to do with the drug commentary, not sure why you quoted that at all. My point was that due to their being great wealth there, drug users tend to buy more expensive drugs than meth, ie cocaine. You can read all the drug reports you like, but you don't know more than I do on this subject there, as my wife's work there was often directly related to the war on drugs. In fact, why don't you post some links to where you can prove that meth is the major durb problem in Ft Mac - which is your contention, and that a meth lab, which must be so prevalent there, started the fire (ridiculous). Meth has popped up there, but just based on the drug seizures and charges laid in Ft Mac, cocaine and crack created from cocaine is 75% of the drug problem there, with 20% being pills and Chinese made blue Fentanyl pills. You can look it up.
You're not making any sense, at all.
sorry to say, the quantity of drugs is right in line with the larger sum of cash available. Drugs have always been a part of the human culture and will continue to be a problem until well into the future.
Where did I disagree with this?
Not much meth scene in Ft Mac, cocaine is another matter.
Cocaine is a huge problem there, oxy and fentanyl now too, but meth isn't a big issue..yet. Ft Mac is the richest city in N.A., it isn't even up for debate, people with $ tend towards cocaine over meth,
All I've said, which is 100% accurate, is that meth isn't nearly the problem that coke, crack, and pills are. I will say now also that meth labs, especially in Ft Mac, are pretty few and far between, as again, meth isn't that sought after a recreational drug, unlike others.
He's a little busy right now, but if you want to "challenge" (get it), any of that, once the emergency is over, call Sgt Corey Kyle with the RCMP there, who rented our place from us. He'll tell you exactly what I just did, as that's where most of my information comes from there now that I don't live there anymore. Or, you can google "meth lab Fort Mcmurray" and see how many results you get...there aren't many, if any in the last few years. Google "cocaine Fort Mcmurray" and see what happens.
It feels odd discussing these problems, as dealing with them were such a large part our life for a few years, and now the place where it was all so important is just a smoking hole in the ground...
