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.

As is normal for these types of questions in news headlines.

No, it wouldn't.

Rustad is making shit up, and won't be able to actually do what he says. He's just saying it to try to win votes next weekend.

Yeah the BC Supreme Court had already established that doing what Rustad says he would do is illegal.

But he will promise sunshine and rainbows every day in Vancouver if it thinks it would win him more votes. I don't believe his promises on many issues for a second.
