I was impressed by all...I too attended this rally. I was impressed by all of the speakers and was glad I was wearing sunglasses so no one could see my tears. So many lives have been damaged by this disease. Diane did a fantastic job! Lennon would be proud. <br /><br />I had very little faith in Doug Currie accomplishing anything that doesn't benefit Doug Currie, but after just reading in the Guardian that he left a million dollars unspent in the addictions/mental health budget today, I now know there is no hope of this man ever seeing the light. He simply does not want to do anything. I also got a call today that a friend's daughter is in icu from drug use and is in very bad shape. Where was the help for her when she wanted to quit using? She is 17 years old. <br /><br />I am so ashamed of our provincial government. They are so out of touch with the reality of life here. I don't think last nights rally provided Ghiz or Currie with any new information they didn't already have but I do believe that it is important that we unite and present a strong voice to our government. It is also great for the public to get a real clear picture of how our elected officials deal with the cold hard truth of what life is like for a large segment of the population and continue to ignore the needs of Islanders while sitting on millions of dollars.
