never thought there would be a day when Canadian Politicians in the House of Parliament would have to ask... "when will it be illegal to smoke crack, in hospitals?" ...
Trudeau and Liberals have had 9 years to do something about the drug overdose crisis. Fund counseling, treatment, and recovery. The crisis started in 2016.
I get it addictions are a rough thing but why does someone’s addiction trump everyone else’s right to be safe? Offer help, drug courts, counselling, some form of treatment to get off the drugs, some basic jobs if someone wants help, if they don’t then they have made a choice and should be responsible for their decision.
Safe supply in our cities is utter nonsense. Where are the studies that prove this is helpful or "safer" in the long run? And what about the families that deal with the pain of a loved one in an addiction? The very thing that they have fought against and cried over for years is now not only being condoned but even legitimized by their govt!
Distraction for you to focus on while he bankrupts and destroys the country which is being done on purpose. A government that doesn't tell the truth about immigration, everything. These issues aree too intense, we are a democracy lets demand a vote!
I can’t get past all these members smiling when discussing topics related to struggling Canadians. To be completely honest I don’t find it helpful and I find it really disappointing.
"Harm Reduction" has increased overdoses and deaths particularly in BC. It was already a crisis as was pointed out, but these policies have only increased the problem several fold. Yes Alberta's rates are also rising, but we have tracked our problems back to BC's "safe supply". Our newer focus on dealing with tent cities and other places where addict's go to die, and instead send them into treatment will be what sees Alberta out of this mess faster.
One thing that statistics cannot capture and seemed to have been totally ignored: the many kids that stayed away from drugs because they were criminalized.
I think alcoholics and food addicts should take them to court for free access. I'm a food addict myself - I need dinner every day, and I expect the gov to supply it.
Bro really said that his party isn't ideology married to anything and they want to work with premiere's but when 70% of the premiere's opposed the carbon tax they said no. Give me a break.
There is a huge difference between decriminalization and legal possession!! BC can pass Provincial legislation and do not need permission from the tools in Ottawa!! For example it is a Provincial authority that prevents consuming liquor in public!! It is also a Provincial authority that prevents smoking in buildings and hospitals, and that should include a meth/ crack pipe!!
The fact that the liberal party thinks that they are the authority on facts and evidence is not only alarming but highlights how out of touch and ignorant they have become.
Vassy its up 25 percent not 5 percent this was 3 days ago so please get your right information please Andrew is right in what he's saying an yes l live here in Abbotsford an yes it's bad in every city in the mainland an yes an on the island maybe you should come here yourself an see it an how bad it really is an yes between bc an Alberta it's pretty close or the same you have to see it yourself an then you can decide for yourself don't rely other governments because you wont get the real truth just saying vassy
Sheer is talking about since when Justin Trudeau was elected. In 2023 there's 200 more peoples that died from OD than 2022. In 2012 there was 270 total OD in BC. The increase alone from last year is almost the same as the total from 2012. Wtf
Why are we not seeing the whole NDP party in the house last week ? the conservatives pressed the issue for 2 days in question period the NDP sat in silence not one word. I wonder if they would have stood up what would happen
I still cannot understand this decriminalization experiment ! Again, this decriminalization was a Justin Trudeau improvisation, with proper impact assessment !
Adam van Koeverden is a frustrating political figure. Obviously smart / motivated... however, he's completely undermined his credibility by standing behind Justin... he now automatically parrots that disgusting Trudeau arrogance. Yuck, not my brand. Just like Sean Frasier, both their political career prospects are now stuck firmly in the treads of Trudeau's campaign bus.
They don't realize that even the province is mess. And even the most loyal NDP voters start turning against them ,because of this policy. Not only taxpayers oay for the drugs and pensioners that live on fix Income, which is not much, pay for their medication. And sometimes you have to make choices if you need your medication or you can skip it. What sick ,sick time we live in.
They should have made more safeguards before they legalized these drugs, but as per usual with the liberal/NDP government put halfassed plans out there and Canadians suffer for this.
I look forward to the next Federal Election. It cannot come soon enough. I’m interested in the Poilievre election platform delivered for 6 weeks on a host of National stages… Coast to Coast to Coast. No more boo-boo JT & it’s all JT’s fault. Just the Poilievre platform on his vision on the way forward on all issues, foreign & domestic. Then the vote. Let the chips fall where they may. Period.
A knee jerk response ,we want to get it right , we need the studies , are we still talking about hard drugs ? How can they down play this ? And if they are getting safe drugs and selling them they should be in jail
emotional? hard? sounds so apologetic? why is it so hard? there is a reason why Singapore has no drug problem... geez... get a spine and do the hard thing... "harm" reduction is the most stupid hiding and call it what it is.. drug addicts... geez...so easy
“ I use drugs safely, why do the criminals have to ruin for everyone. You think I drug addict is gonna think twice just because it’s illegal ? “ sound like familiar logic ?
Yet BC and the Federal Government criminalized weed for so many years. Smoking weed was bad but it was fine to smoke tobacco? Which was and still is the drain on the healthcare system?
Making access easier to addicts doesn't help their situation, it makes it worse. It takes tough choices and hardships to get out of any addiction, not being spoon fed and pampered.
Every one of these daily deaths are the sons and daughters of someone now grieving their loss. 😢 Even if the individuals signing up for this murderous program are underage the parents are NOT INFORMED
In BC we live very often is suites. A home is often shared between a lower and upper suite. If my neighbour in the basement suite was consistently smoking this kind of drug I would have to move. I am raising my granddaughter. Their fabric softener comes up through the vents. It should just be illegal. I would not want my granddaughter or myself exposed.
CAN YOU STOP THE FLOW OF DRUGS? (ANSWER: NO) CAN YOU STOP DRUG USERS FROM USING? (ANSWER: NO) CAN YOU DECRIMINALIZE DRUG USE AND STOP SENDING ADDICTS TO JAIL? (ANSWER: YES) CAN YOU TAX OTHER DRUGS THE WAY WE DO MARIJUANA (ANSWER: YES)
Well that was useless! Yes make the drugs Illegal and that's what we will vote for, this public health "approach" is obviously a failure but we could have easily guessed that. If it had any chance of success it would have been tried decades ago and likely was with no success.
Does this lady even get how it works?where is Alberta? Next to BC so what happens? Drugs (free thanks to Trudeau/Singh)start trickling into Alberta from BC creating high addiction rates!
You can't smoke cigarettes in a bar. But you can smoke hard drugs in a hospital. Makes sense 🤔
Libs are the problem not the drug addicts.
NDP and liberal Government is crazy . Hard drugs is more dangerous and more damage to brain and cause severe mental illness
never thought there would be a day when Canadian Politicians in the House of Parliament would have to ask... "when will it be illegal to smoke crack, in hospitals?" ...
Crack is bad and shouldn`t be legal anywhere. Period, end of story
@dirb-pl4iv thats the point. No one asked for this.
Wow! The police asked for decriminalizing drugs? really? My BC police officer friend said this one of the dumbest things the government did.
Exactly, paramedics also... There are also overdoses in NB from drugs ordered from BC. This is affecting the entire country. Complete insanity.
Why are we even arguing about this ? We need a election
This Liberal dude is so disturbing and out of touch. 😂😂😂
Smoking and drinking is legal but we can't do it in a lot of places why are they allowed...
The Liberals are after the drug-addict and drug-dealer vote.
where is WorksafeBC on this?
Because drug addicts are special
Excellent question and easy answer they are both illegal in public buildings, with alcohol being illegal in public period.
Rehab before addiction. Clean them up, and they will be a useful part of Society
Better add housing to the equation and supports because alot of them now have brain damage

Because they haven't figured out how to tax it yet

It is only up 5%. Go check the numbers. Scheer is trying to claim it is literally up 400% and you somehow take him for his word.. Your nonsensical

It was reported weeks ago that safe supply drugs are showing up in Alberta. Could be why numbers have risen.
Why are we not seeing the whole NDP party in the house last week ? the conservatives pressed the issue for 2 days in question period the NDP sat in silence not one word. I wonder if they would have stood up what would happen

This has to big money and kick backs to the liberal party from big pharma
most hated person in canada ever jt.
Zero concern for drug addicts which they clearly wanted to be. If you don’t do drugs you won’t get addicted.
This guy is about as sickening to listen to as Trudeau is.
Can you drink alcohol on the streets in BC , smoke in a hospital or restaurant ???
You know what our kids n pets and innocent citizens should not become victims to compassion. What a joke.
A knee jerk response ,we want to get it right , we need the studies , are we still talking about hard drugs ? How can they down play this ? And if they are getting safe drugs and selling them they should be in jail
Save the users and jailed the pushers
There is no healthcare approach to give out more opioids
Recriminalization of drug use in public paces.
Liberal government have to go we need a change. Vote for conservatives
😊😊
Vote PPC. Poilievre will not help the working class and will not save our culture from immigration.

truth
I think they should tweak the decriminalization to: go after users in public spaces, and triple down on distributors.
Status quo doesn't work.
Mr Mackey said it best. "Drugs are bad M'kay"
re criminalize
So now, some Liberals are saying that PM Trudeau is wrong.

“ I use drugs safely, why do the criminals have to ruin for everyone. You think I drug addict is gonna think twice just because it’s illegal ? “ sound like familiar logic ?
How about the government give jobs to the drug addicts and subsidize their wage instead of the free loaders that came to Canada illegally
Explain to me why these hazardous drugs are not covered WHMIS .
Asap has passed. This is because you don’t give addicts more drugs or create more addicts. This was thee most stupidest idea.
Yet BC and the Federal Government criminalized weed for so many years. Smoking weed was bad but it was fine to smoke tobacco? Which was and still is the drain on the healthcare system?
