Canadian Navy busy busy helping DEA intercept cocaine 3,000 miles from our shores

And for this the Canadian taxpayer should build our Navy a new fleet?

Don’t get me wrong. I’d rather nobody touched the stuff. But that’s just me. I have it on reasonably decent authority that cocaine remains the grease that lubes the wheel-bearings of the beautiful people from Wall Street to Sunset Boulevard. That such a thing is even conceivable tells you all you need to know about the efficacy of the forty-years-and-counting “War on Drugs.”

As in, it’s been a complete sham.

Not that this fact should deter the Royal Canadian Navy from wasting it’s time and our tax dollars rooting out the scourge of cocaine use.

After all, cocaine doesn’t just limit itself to the beautiful people. Check out this little tidbit from the Wikipedia page for HMCS Saskatoon, the very vessel being celebrated today for its outstanding efforts in the War on Drugs;

In 2007, a court martial revealed that a third of the crew of the ship used illicit drugs, namely cocaine. This led to a wider investigation in the Canadian Forces into drug use.^[7][8]
