they were not "lost", they were killed by drug policy and political indifference

the government let six people under 19 die in february.

the provincial government is CHOOSING to let this continue indefinitely

THE BEST PLACE ON EARTH

this is a supply chain issue.

"Preliminary data suggests that the proportion of illicit drug toxicity deaths for which illicit fentanyl was detected (alone or in combination with other drugs) was approximately 76% in 2022 and 85% in 2021."

it would be more accurate to say fentanylS

this is rather confusing. but.

it is never discussed how many people who used cocaine have died as a result of the substance (or pipe) being cross-contaminated.

could be thousands of people.

and they go on about opioid use disorder and never look at the facts.

the point is that people don't know what theyre consuming; its composition or potency. KNOWLEDGE is whats prohibited.

thats why these deaths are poisonings.

you can't over-DOSE if you can't know your DOSE.

unnatural, yes. poisoned by policy failures. political deaths.

you are pretending to be in charge but have no power or budget

Dix, Farnsworth, Eby, Henry, Horgan.

this is a supply issue, its not about addiction

“It’s heartbreaking to see the 174 lives lost in February due to the toxic drug crisis."

really. really.

IF YOU DON'T REPLACE THE ENTIRE ILLICIT DRUG SUPPLY WITH REGULATED SUBSTANCES IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE, AND MORE AND MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE. FOREVER.

could someone mention that

the Death Panel Review found that 73% of decedents used daily, and 13% occasionally (14% 🤷?)

"treatment beds" wouldnt save the 22 people who died in february who used drugs once in a while. a regulated drug supply, with no prescription required would.

there isnt a finite population of people who use drugs! people start, stop, experiment, re-start all the time! LIKE AT THE TAIL END OF A PANDEMIC AS THEYRE ABANDONED BY GOVERNMENT IN A MASS TRAUMA, MASS DISABLING, MASS CASUALTY EVENT

if not for the toxicity, i'd recommend drugs.

people will use drugs because YOU failed, @bcndp. you failed to protect people. you failed to mitigate harm. you lied. and you failed your duty to the public.

every death is a policy failure. YOUR policy, YOUR failure.

for example
WHY HAVENT YOU ADDRESSED CHEQUE DAY

(people will use drugs because you broke the health system and everyone is going to quit because of the moral injury you have committed upon them,

and nobody has a doctor anyhow)

it is going to get worse and you will pretend its not happening because you believe This will never be a ballot issue

so you have let thousands of people die

its accountability time yes it is

NOT "awareness" ACTUAL solutions

because otherwise this will get worse and the government is poisoning the future, right now, today, killing six more people, today, day 2,190 of this emergency
