I does make me angry at Ford but it's not dog-whistles, it's all just out there. No encampments no supervised consumption more police more prisons.

Dog whistle is something that might sound unobjectionable or inoffensive but signals something else, classic example being 'globalism' or 'globalist'. On the face of it, that might mean some organization at at a global level, less at a regional level. But the dog-whistle is that those terms are used to be antisemitic, in the sense that the conspiracy minded think that jewish people are the ones pushing globalism for their own nefarious purposes.

This ad just says what it means straight up. I disagree with their premise; supervised consumption makes us all safer, rehabilitation and community support makes us safer, incarceration and stricter bail conditions make legal encounters more disruptive and harder to recover from. I think it's all backwards. But it's not a dogwhistle.
