So if people use drugs and are evicted from social housing, and there are no tent cities, where would current residents go? Would they be held for involuntary treatment?

Melissa De Genova, the Conservative candidate for Vancouver-Yaletown, did not directly answer the question when The Tyee spoke to her following a press conference Monday.

I am absolutely stunned they didn’t have a coherent and intelligent answer to this question prepared.

I'm not, they're a pack of clown shoes thrown in an inflatable pool of white jello. They seem to be taking a Trump-lite approach and just saying stuff they think sounds good.
