Drugs

There is one apparent gain from incoming U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threat against Canada and Mexico: it has thrust the drug addiction and access issue back to the forefront of the national conversation.

When even the Trudeau government just says ‘no’ to drug decriminalization, it’s clear the push to flood addicts’ bodies and urban life with stupefying toxins has gone too far.

As British Columbia throws in the towel on its experiment of decriminalizing hard drugs, admitting defeat in liberalizing its drug laws, the country’s largest city has had its desire to ignore B.C.s evidence and move down the same path quashed by the federal government.
