Calling out #Poilievres simplistic sloth "As the fmr chief of police for Ottawa, I have seen first-hand the positive effect that a safer supply can have on an individual’s life. We can even look at the program operating right now in Ottawa,
"where Mr. Poilievre is currently the sitting MP The patrons of supervised consumption sites are not only given the chance to survive their addictions, but when under the care of a medical professional instead of a street dealer, they have a chance to live long enough to take."
"to be offered alternative paths, which they often choose The fact that Mr. Poilievre misses this point entirely is disappointing, as his counterparts in the House of Commons and the Senate have understood the importance of removing street-manufactured opioids from the sites."
"In fact, the Canadian Police Association and the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police have both supported the use of replacement drugs. Using a safe supply to save lives is key to what we should all be doing – taking care of some of our most vulnerable citizens."
"I have never met a drug addict who wanted to be addicted, living on the streets, committing crimes to purchase drugs – It is easy for Mr. Poilievre to look at this in simple terms, but it is anything but." fmr Ottawa Police Chief Vernon White theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
Ex Police Chief is being kind to Poilievre. Denying addicts safe supply, condemns them to a dangerous one. Offering simplistic solutions to complex problems is at the heart of parties like the CPC & UPC- precisely why today's Cdn Conservatism urgently needs a heart transplant.
