How many lawyers, accountants, judges, engineers, project managers, CEOs and executives are subject to pre-employment urinalysis in this province?

Crackhead pipeliners, coked-up tradesmen and meth-binging truck drivers typically take the blame for drug demand in the province, as it’s generally assumed they are the only ones earning $10,000 per month. This debate, while accurate, paints only a small part of the picture.
High-flying executives are also responsible for generating drug demand in Alberta, and gangs are more than willing to expand supply, says the Solicitor General of the province.

“I think a lot of guys and gals sitting on the tenth and fifteenth floor of the office towers snorting cocaine don’t see how they’re affecting the violence on our streets, they think they’re immune to it all,” says Fred Lindsay, the province’s top cop, who believes it’s now time for this city and this province to do some holding up of the mirror and some connecting of the dots.

Coke addiction has no respect for social standing whatsoever. I have heard my fair share of second-hand stories here in Calgary of high-flying investment-bankers and executives who have ended up penniless in flophouses around Calgary. It’s not just the tradesmen.

Makes you wonder what they were smoking on Wall Street.
A man high while doing vital work is a criminal.
