Here is an idea, to get scumbag landlords to do checks on people who are selling drugs out of the homes, tear 1, or 2, or maybe 10 down, then see what they have to say, I bet it may help, but it wont end the problem.

i THINK WE SHOULD BURN THE HOUSE DOWN AMEN ..... TIME TO KICK ASS AND TAKE NAMES .TIME TO FIGHT BACK
Iceman, The landlords are not the criminals, nor the police. Based on your logic if someone drives drunk you should shut down the dealership that sold them the car. Punish the ones breaking the laws...period
THE LAST POST WASNT ME SOMEONE ELSE WROTE THAT

STIFFER PENALTIES FOR CRACK DEALERS
Zoom your probably dead beat landlord . i see dead people lmao ...........
Some communities on vancouver island and the okanagan have enacted municipal bylaws that give the city the authority to legally declare the residence as inhospitable due to the selling and or cultivation of illegal drugs. Therefore, no one can reside in the dwelling until the landlord takes steps to do the necessary repairs. And, the landlord has to pay for police, hydro, fire dept, etc costs for the time they take to dismantle the crack house or grow op. At 500 bucks per hour it can really add up. Should the landlord refuse to pay, it goes automatically on the landlord's tax bill for the property. I've seen (in these other communities) where bc hydro actually cuts power to the house in question where power has been stolen for the grow ops.
This is how PG city council should deal with this, but I believe the mayor wussed out on following this policy. SO, put pressure on city hall because the police can only do so much.....everyone has to be on board with this.
