The article says nothing about safer supply but since you brought it up, the problem was safe supply pilot did not go far enough. They did it half assed and then people like you claim it doesn’t work. It’s true, safe supply only works if you provide it to everyone who needs it

[Adam Zivo @AdamZivo]

Harm reduction activists claimed that “safer supply” would save lives, yet, after access was severely restricted, overdose deaths in the province have plummeted.

This might be the dumbest post I've seen from Adam Zivo.
People are dying from fentanyl. They weren't and aren't dying from safer supply programs.

And since we're apparently confusing correlation with causation, let me help out.

The drop in toxic drug deaths isn't because safer supply was restricted. It's because of years of work involving prevention, education, widespread naloxone distribution, supervised consumption sites, outreach workers, access to detox, treatment, recovery programs, and countless people keeping others alive long enough to get help.

You know... the very things many of the same critics spent years attacking.
It's almost as if reducing overdose deaths requires multiple interventions, not a single headline.

I hope this helps, Adam. Try not to pull a muscle from that stretch.

“This legislation does not address any of those root causes; instead, it creates a new coercive system enforced by police and courts, the very institutions where First Nations people face the most entrenched racism and documented discrimination.” #skpoli

If they had the courage to do safe supply the right way and not half assed, expand it to everyone who needs it, with the correct dosage , diversion would not be an issue. And people wouldn’t be dying

[the villain in your history @left_notliberal]

Thank you for proving the point that safer supply pilot did not go far enough. It needed to be expanded further than for just a few thousand people. And cowardly policy makers made the dose too low to prevent withdrawals, forcing people to sell it in exchange for proper dose.

[Adam Zivo @AdamZivo]

People who claim that “safer supply” diversion was exaggerated are ignorant on this issue.

Safer supply supporters — including the BC NDP and federal Liberals — refused to track SS diversion, and then pretended that the consequent absence of data showed that there was no problem.

That’s why I harassed several police departments in Ontario and got some of them to disclose that annual hydromorphone seizures had exploded since 2020 (when SS access was expanded). There was a 3,000%~ increase in London, ON, a 1,500%~ increase in Niagara region, and a 1,000%~ increase in Waterloo.

The London Police then gave a press conference explicitly tying the explosion in hydromorphone diversion to safer supply.

@AdamZivo If it was my kid I would much rather them buy diverted safe supple then toxic unregulated street drugs. Adam would rather kids play Russian roulette

[the villain in your history @left_notliberal]

The problem with the safer supply experiment as Adam calls it is that they didn’t scale it up enough.The dose wasn’t enough to keep people from getting sick so needed to sell it in exchange for stronger. Still, diversion wasn’t happening at the rate Adam wants us to think

[Adam Zivo @AdamZivo]

Back in late 2023, CBC News interviewed a teenage girl, Amelie North, who told them that she and her friends had used diverted “safer supply” hydromorphone. CBC then censored any mention of safer supply diversion when reporting on her story — I know this because Amelie was one of my journalistic sources.

To put it this way: the CBC was so committed to defending the Liberals’ safer supply experiment that they essentially lied to Canadians — including parents with vulnerable children — about the dangers of diversion. They put kids at risk for the sake of their partisan agenda.

And now they have the audacity to present themselves as a bulwark against disinformation.

[the villain in your history @left_notliberal]

So Amelie and her friends bought safe supply drugs of known dose and content rather than take their chances with toxic street drugs? got it.

I guess Adam would rather kids be buying some random stuff in an alley somewhere, on which they are likely to overdose?

Adam just casually name drops the red deer study, neglecting to mention it was deeply flawed, filled with undisclosed conflicts of interest and widely panned by scholars, researchers, doctors.

[Adam Zivo @AdamZivo]

I understand you want to save lives, but the data behind OPS’s is inconclusive at best. Here are two things to note:

1) After Ontario shut down many of its consumption sites last year, fatal overdoses remained stable and did not skyrocket like some predicted.

2) A recent study in Alberta examined the effects of shutting down a consumption site in Red Deer, using data that was of much higher quality than what is typically used for BC research, and also found no statistically significant rise in deaths or emergency department visits.

“People forced into treatment, held for indeterminate periods, then released without guaranteed aftercare or community supports will die. They’ll die after being forced into “treatment” at facilities operating without any standards for it.”

[the villain in your history @left_notliberal]

Regarding Sask party’s “compassionate” intervention act, as Tammy points out in the article, no one’s talking about the fact they are going ahead with this legislation with no regulation, accountability or oversight for treatment.Even Alberta had that.

“Saskatchewan took the name “Compassionate Intervention Act” from Alberta’s playbook but ignored everything that made Alberta’s approach marginally defensible: the regulatory foundation, the licensing standards, the independent oversight, ….”

[the villain in your history @left_notliberal]

@kim_siever Scott Moe does the same thing.

They can’t say liberal cause they know the carney liberals are basically conservatives . They have to go back to the tried and true rage triggers

Oh man, where to begin with the absolute tsunami of incorrect information in this post

[Dan Mazier @DanMazierMP]

BREAKING: The failed drug experiment is coming to Manitoba.

The NDP are opening a drug consumption site in Winnipeg while provinces across Canada shut these failed sites down. These sites are magnets for drugs and disorder.

Approving a place for people to consume drugs is the easiest thing a politician can do.

It avoids the difficult, serious, expensive work of building real treatment and real recovery pathways.

Instead, they keep people addicted and cycling through the same revolving door of drug enablement.

And as long as they are doing that, politicians never actually have to solve anything.

Real compassion means treatment and recovery. It does not mean opening government-sanctioned drug sites in communities and leaving families to deal with the disorder, needles, and open drug use.

The left-wing politicians pushing this drug site will not live next door to it, so they don't care.

When this site is opened, it will not be the end.

It will be this site first, then the next one, then another.

Then the conversation shifts to government-funded safe supply, where taxpayers are buying the drugs outright.

And then the proposal becomes decriminalization, where there are no consequences for possession of any hard drugs.

That’s exactly the road the NDP government in British Columbia went down, and British Columbia is now a failed experiment that the rest of Canada is desperately trying to avoid.

Real compassion means fighting for recovery, not enabling the next hit.

It is important to note that every single supervised drug consumption site in Canada exists because the federal government provided a legal exemption through the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

The federal Health Minister directly approves consumption sites through Section 56.1 and authorizes provinces to approve sites through a class exemption granted under Subsection 56(1).

Without the Liberal government's approval, these sites are not allowed to exist.
