    Despite the best of intentions, despite the "partnership" excuse, the stuff hit the fan. Trudeau's federal government is responsible for law enforcement that ensures public safety. And Eby's provincial government is responsible for health care that promotes harm reduction. Decriminalization should have been PROMPTLY reversed. From my perspective the federal government minister Ya'ara Saks and her cabinet demonstrated tremendous powers of inaction, procrastination, ineptitude and incompetence. .
