I don't know, but their friendliness with pakis and chinks is just a symptom of their general evil.
Although in this case, this doesn't seem to be an attempt to just ignore the hard-drugs problem; instead of "arrest", it seems that they want to change it so that they're brought not to jail, but to rehab instead - but we'll see how it washes out, I guess. It doesn't even come into force until next year (probably so that other legislation and infrastructure can be prepared.)
If they're not brought to rehab, then it's basically a sign that they've just given up, and are going to just shrug and sweep the bodies out of the Hastings and Main area every morning just like they used to shift abandoned horse carcasses before cars were a thing.

THIS is the more interesting story.
People will not get clean until they want to. Forcing them into rehab won't help the truly addicted and will only piss off the casual user.
Well, then, the horse carcass route is the way to go, then.
The difference is, the horses didn't do it to themselves.
And horses are actually missed.
The Canadian system is a fucking joke.
