The Case Against Safe Supply?

January 12, 2023 Published by

Is there a case against safe supply? Lately, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has faced criticisms for his opposition to safe supply sites, also known as “safe injection sites” or “overdose prevention sites.” These are facilities where people use substances under the supervision of trained staff. These facilities aim to reduce the harm associated with drug use by providing a safe and hygienic environment and access to clean needles and other supplies, counselling, and medical care in case of overdose. With […]

Poilievre’s Addiction Policy Demonstrates False Left-Right Paradigm

December 15, 2022 Published by

“Addiction policy is broken. We must fix it,” writes Pierre Poilievre to critics who may have misinterpreted his previous YouTube video on addiction, treatment, and recovery. Poilievre’s addiction policy of ending safe-supply sites is about compassion. So he writes. For a Conservative, Pierre does a decent job of making his case. Not fool-proof. You’d think he’d demonstrate why his government wouldn’t pursue his proposed policy and safe supply sites. As opposed to having to choose one over the other.  Since he doesn’t […]

Poilievre Misdiagnoses Opioid Crisis

December 1, 2022 Published by

Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre misdiagnoses the opioid crisis in the latest video, “Everything Feels Broken.” In the five-minute video, Poilievre uses a Vancouver tent city as his backdrop to make a case for the drug war. For a decade, British Columbia (among other Canadian cities) has provided a clean, safe supply of drugs for the addicted. He calls it a “failed experiment” brought in by “woke Liberal and NDP governments,” before saying he’ll end this policy and instead put […]

A Conservative Cannabis Act? 

October 1, 2022 Published by

Is it possible a Conservative Cannabis Act can fix the damage of Justin’s legalization? On October 17th, 2018, the government of Canada legalized cannabis with strict conditions on who could sell it, how to access legal products, and how much you could grow for personal use. This top-down public health scheme split BC Bud into two camps. Those who wanted to follow the rules and try to become legitimate. And those who saw the corporatization of their medicinal herb and […]

What Does a Poilievre Win Mean for Cannabis?

September 12, 2022 Published by

Pierre Poilievre became the Conservative Party leader this past weekend, but what does this mean for cannabis? Conservatives in Canada have typically been supportive of the drug war. Like Liberals who believe guns, and not irresponsible people with guns, are the problem, Conservatives tend to hate drugs instead of blaming the irresponsible drug user. But […]

How Pierre Poilievre Will Ban Cannabis

August 13, 2022 Published by

Could future Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Poilievre ban cannabis without any parliamentary debate? When governments worldwide overreacted to the coronavirus, Canadians smoked record amounts of weed. It’s only natural that when placed under house arrest and fed propaganda about the end of the world, people felt the need to smoke away the stress. But so […]
