    Hi Mike,


    "To live in Canada today is like owning an apartment above a
    meth lab."

    ~Comment in Canada noted by Steven A. Horn, BA, BLS, JD, DipLD


    I think that was originally coined by Robin Williams. It evolved from
    "Canada is like a loft apartment over a really great party" to "Canada is like
    a really nice apartment over a meth lab"


    I could believe that, Mike. I was told by Steven Horn recently that the phrase as quoted in the 'Gazette has been making the rounds throughout Canada.

    :)

    Take care,
    Janis

    Hello Mike,

    That's accurate. :)

    "Canada is like a really nice apartment over a meth lab"

    Drugs have never been a problem for me but we just broke a record here in BC for drug related deaths in June with 171 deaths in the month. I think opiods and fentanyl are the main culprits.

    I don't know why people take these drugs and why is fentanyl in the mix?

    Ttyl :-),

    I guess it's far more potent.
    I think the evolution of the quote was more to demonstrate how terrible the USA had become.
