What The Heckfire?

I go away for awhile, and when I come back I find out that British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell is making sense.

Real sense.

The B.C. government lent its weight yesterday to the campaign to keep the safe-injection site operating.

Weighing in on the controversy for the first time, Premier Gordon Campbell said he feels the clinic has done a good job of improving services to people. He noted that numerous studies, including one commissioned by the RCMP, have reported positive benefits from the site.

"We think it's a positive step, and we believe it should continue. We have let the federal government know that," Mr. Campbell told reporters, after announcing a mid-term cabinet shuffle.

Next thing you know, newly shuffled deck chair Tom Christensen will do something crazy like announce that all funding is being restored to the decimated Ministry of Children and Families.

And special thanks to Q for keeping the little ship Gazette running full steam sideways while I was gone (I think). Best thing about it all is that he now has the monkey on his own back.
