FREE COCAINE, METH AND HEROIN FOR EVERYONE: Vancouver's Plan To Tackle Its Drug Problem

(nothing like handing out FREE drugs to solve a problem. The ONLY problem they're trying to solve, is getting more liberal votes so gaytard Justin can stay in office)

Trudeau Urged To Prioritize Illicit Drug Decriminalization

Pierre Poirier Decries Justin Trudeau's Drug Policies

Canada's drug crisis has killed at least 23,000. What has Justin Trudeau done about it? - Gave Out FREE drugs!

Trudeau Cabinet Minister Wants To Give "Safe" Supply of Hard Drugs To Addicts To Combat Overdoses

(How in the FUCK do you "combat overdoses" with FREE drugs?)

The province of British Columbia is the nexus of Canada's drug overdose crisis and in its fifth year of a public health emergency, writes Ashleigh Stewart in Vancouver

(dammit... I HATE saying things, then finding out the article says the same things I did)

As the rate of ILLICIT drug overdoses in Vancouver continues to soar, a group of activists have enlisted the help of a city councillor to hand out free samples of heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine - right in front of a police station.

(and they say WE have a drug problem. THIS is why you fuckers always get upset about me posting to can.politics... you don't wanna be reminded of your OWN problems. LOL))

The province of British Columbia is the nexus of Canada's drug overdose crisis, now in its fifth year of a public health emergency.

(LOL... Public Health Emergency!)

Last month a report from the BC Coroners Service revealed that 160 people had died from an overdose in just the month of May - an average of 5.2 people per day. Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe said 851 had lost their lives due to an overdose in the first five months of 2021 - a new record for that five-month period.

Poisoned drugs are fueling the crisis, particularly synthetic opioid fentanyl.

It's led the City of Vancouver to formally seek exemption from federal drug laws to become the first jurisdiction in Canada to decriminalise the possession of a small supply of drugs, including heroin and meth. The proposal, dubbed the "Vancouver model", lists threshold levels for 15 common substances, with the city saying this would lead to a dramatic reduction in seizures by police.

However, activists say not only were they not consulted on the proposal, but it is simply not enough.

Anger over the decriminalisation proposal this week culminated in an event held by the Drug User Liberation Front (Dulf), a Vancouver-based activist group, staged outside the Vancouver Police Department.

With the help of city councillor Jean Swanson, the group handed out free samples of clean, checked drugs in clearly labelled boxes, marked with what was in the drugs and at what percentage. They spent about $3,000 from a crowdsourcing campaign to buy the drugs from "trusted dealers".

Dulf has staged similar events across the city previously, as a public call for a more regulatory framework to deal with illicit drugs.

While police say they were not aware of drugs being handed out at the event, Jeremy Kalicum, Dulf organiser, says the group works closely with the police and notifies them of every planned protest. Kalicum says that includes informing them that drugs would be handed out.

Holier-than-thou LIBERAL Canadians, think they're soooo superior when it comes to slavery, because they "ended" it (not really) a mere 30 years earlier.

Canada "ended" slavery a mere 30 years before Lincoln wrote the "Emancipation Proclamation".

HOW does that make Canada ANY "better" or different? It doesn't.
