Mayor Craig Copeland, sitting in a local coffee shop, says his city’s problems mirror those of many others: homelessness and crime combined with a lack of help for those with mental health and drug abuse issues
In Cold Lake, Alta., drivers leaning through windows at the McDonald’s drive-thru have been ambushed by people running by and snatching food right out of their hands.
“These individuals are staying awake for like three or four days and they’re wandering around. The psychosis makes them aggressive.” Private security has been hired. Police have been directed to charge more people who don’t abide by the bylaws.“If we don’t take this approach, you’re rewarding bad behaviour, right?” said Copeland.
The local MP, Conservative Laila Goodridge, has blamed the problems on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government, saying “crime, chaos and disorder are the norm.”
