I've run the 10-kilometre Sun Run many times, including every in-person race since 2017. I've run four half marathons in the last four years, which nearly killed me. I lift weights a few times a week, and I'm a terrible but enthusiastic badminton player. I don't do it because I love the gym. I do it because it's the best return on investment I know.
That's the idea behind this video: prevention. It is almost always cheaper to stop a problem early than to pay for it later.
Take the issue of drugs. 25 years ago, Vancouver adopted the four pillars: prevention, treatment, enforcement, and harm reduction. Think of it as a table with four legs. Over time, the table tipped. Prevention and treatment became the forgotten pillars. We also seem to have given up on enforcement. So-called harm reduction has done everything except reduce harm.
I want to rebuild the pillars, especially prevention. Keep young people from starting, and give people caught in addiction a real path to treatment and recovery.
The same logic applies to health. Staying active at any age lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and falls. That means fewer hospital visits and more good years.
And it isn't only physical. People who see other people in person every week are healthier and happier. A class where everyone knows your name does more for your mental health than we give it credit for. So community centres, parks, and rec programs aren't extras in the budget. They're prevention. I treat them that way, and we work with the city to keep them open, affordable, and full.
My name is Sacha Peter, and I am running to be your MLA in Richmond Centre for the BC Conservative Party. The cheapest problem to fix is the one that never happens. And remember, say no to hard drugs.
我參加過很多次10公里的 Sun Run 長跑，包括2017年以來每一屆實地賽事。過去四年我跑了四次半馬，差點要了我的命。我每星期舉重幾次，打羽毛球打得很差，但非常投入。我做運動不是因為喜歡健身房，而是因為這是我所知回報最高的投資。
這就是這段影片的主題：預防。及早解決問題，幾乎總比日後付出代價便宜。
就以毒品問題為例。25年前，溫哥華採用了「四大支柱」策略：預防、治療、執法和減害。你可以把它想像成一張四腳桌。久而久之，這張桌子傾斜了。預防和治療成了被遺忘的支柱。我們似乎也放棄了執法。所謂的「減害」，甚麼都做了，就是沒有減少傷害。
我要重建這些支柱，尤其是預防。防止年輕人染上毒品，並為受困於毒癮的人提供真正的治療和康復之路。
同樣的道理也適用於健康。無論任何年紀，保持活躍都能降低心臟病、糖尿病和跌倒的風險。這意味著更少進出醫院，更多健康的歲月。
而且不只是身體上的好處。每星期與人面對面見面的人，會更健康、更快樂。一個人人都認識你的班，對心理健康的幫助，比我們想像的更大。所以社區中心、公園和康樂活動並不是預算中的額外開支。它們就是預防。我會這樣看待它們，並與市政府合作，讓它們保持開放、收費相宜、人氣興旺。
我是施培德，我代表卑詩保守黨，競選列治文中區省議員。最便宜解決的問題，就是從未發生的問題。記住，對硬性毒品說不。
As MLA, Sacha will fight to keep drugs off our streets and to make our communities safe for families. He will press for tougher bail, faster prosecutions and properly funded policing, with a focus on the repeat offenders responsible for so much crime. He believes prevention is the best drug policy, and that those already caught in addiction deserve a real path to treatment and recovery, not a system that offers drugs and needles.作為省議員，施培德將全力把毒品趕出我們的街道，讓社區成為家庭安居的地方。他將爭取收緊保釋、加快檢控，並為警務提供充足資源，重點針對造成大量罪案的慣犯。他相信預防是最好的禁毒政策；對於已陷入毒癮的人，應提供真正的治療與康復途徑，而不是一個派發毒品和針筒的制度。
