Sure they are!

When will they start supplying alcohol to alcoholics?

What a shit show

Tax dollars put to good use 😉🤣🤣🤣

Seriously though 🤡

Once you've created a disaster, if you're a socialist, there's nothing left to do but double down.

Sure, legalize fentanyl and heroine, what could go wrong ?

For people not seeing the reasoning behind this I think it goes like this: If drugs are made legal to possess the people taking the drugs might be more inclined to go to safe injection sites and use testing kits that can be provided to determine what the drug may be cut with.

C'est une tarbarnak de joke de décriminaliser l'oxycodone! Fake news

This makes absolutely no sense in reducing overdose deaths.

BWAHAHAHAHA. That makes as much sense as daylight savings. Welcome to the land of the stoners, where now they can legally carry and walk around like zombies. But I guess this will make for LESS over-doses? STUPIDITY AT BEST. Good thing for children to learn about huh...

I predict.......bodies

How'd it turn out for Sanfransico?

This is radical left wing ideology that has never worked but only created this epidemic! Not only the drug epidemic but “crime” epidemic. When will people wake up not just to liberal ideology but to the media who lies to the people every single way they can.

😂😂😂 drugs to reduce overdoses? They give them drugs to get rid of them!

Cause criminal charges are the problem, lol. It couldn't be dangerous drugs, even from a safe source, being injected into the body. Noooo, bite your tongue. It's because it is illegal, which is why people are dying. Right? (chime in Eby supporters with your alternate reality)

Can you imagine ones who were forced because of a lie

This comment section is filled with intelligent people 😬

Yeah.. that is going to end well... Bye bye BC

The decriminalized drugs just so happen to be the ones that can make your heart explode. Not mushrooms, or anything helpful to the addict to help them stop using... 🙄

I wonder how many underage minors are going to want me to boot for them while I'm trying to pick up my meth. Makes sense to me just throw more gas on the dumpster fire and watch it burn MF burn 🔥

Aka enabling....

The real question is why are people doing these drugs in the first place? There must something more positive the poor and the down trodden can do instead numb then brains.

We decided to kill addicts slowly instead, and let them suffer on the streets in the meantime. Great policy.

Lets decriminalize guns in Ontario since they can’t keep up with the problem…

3-3 Robberies and other property crimes as they were already. But more importantly, allows addicts to be used as [Drug Mules] for street traffickers who wish to keep their distance from law enforcement

2-3 accept on Welfare-Wed on the end of each month where substance abusers will purchase than $200 or more in a single purchase above the (2.5gr) threshold. This means this measure does nothing because the other 29 days of each month addicts are perpetrating Thefts, Burlargies,

1-3 Absolute insanity that anyone would vote for any local or federal Candidate for Office who would make it easier for their loved one to continue to possess or obtain FREE Govt Funded Sources 2. (2.5gr) of any of the mentioned substances 90% of addicts can not afford to obtain

Everything makes sense once you admit we are being culled.

The proof will be in the pudding...buckle up.

The government drug cartel will cater to it.

Deaths will be increasing! What a stupid ridiculous policy! Drug addicts now have free reign to carry & use drugs.

Theatre of the absurd. Maybe army style boot camps would be a better idea, learn some discipline and build some character, but nope just keep being a burden on society while u paralyze yourself with narcotics.

People are overdosing because of dirty drugs. Decriminalization won't change that

Isn't it ironic that cvd vx can't be considered an over dose when the gov pushed you to take a bunch while people are actually dropping from the vx. The circles this world goes around!

Depopulation

What is so toxic in our society that makes people want to escape? Human needs like shelter, food, safety, medicine, education, fun, community all need to be accessible for everyone before any progress will be made in this heartbreaking crisis!

Same logic as ' fighting for Peace '

Commenters should check out Norways ALL drugs legal society. Seems to be a solution.

Got to keep Canadians drugged, high, stoned and drunk. How in the world we are goint to have the likew of Trudeau if they are sober and clean?

Why sustain the addition to make pharmacy profit from the ugly living style? Our government is not for the people but for the big pharmacy companies.

State propaganda moving the goal posts again.

Offer users MAID. Problem solved.

As a libertarian, I disagree with drug laws fundamentally. But if you think improving access to drugs by removing barriers is somehow going to reduce overdoses, you've done some serious mental gymnastics to get there.

So the belief is people won’t OD if they are only allowed a small amount on their person? As opposed the the amount they had on them when it was illegal? Make it make sense.

Perhaps look at nationalpost article about how unsuccessful it is. defundctv

And the sorting of the gene pool is what is .can recommend but not force .accountability must be by all .when big pharma is given immunity.but you are quick to call the rcmp to force the law shoved down your throats as in best interest …ok sure …let’s vote them out things stay

Booze bad but coke is ok

Free booze at AA meetings might work too. Let'z give it a go! reduce the problem by eliminating the problems. Science.

Make drugs more accessible to reduce overdose. That makes sense 🤔

Sunwing passenger recounts moments after pilot shuts down engine mid-airA Toronto passenger said her Sunwing Airlines flight was unforgettable as she recounted the moments after the pilot shut down the plane’s engine mid-flight to Montego Bay on Friday. Whoa, can we commend the pilot though instead of making it seem like they're the bad guy? Props to keeping the plane up and landing safely. All emergency vehicles get deployed as a precaution. The pilot did his job. Everyone is safe. Get over the inconvenience. You missed a whole day of vacation? Honey, your plane landed SAFELY. You did not crash land. You did not die. Both of these things could have happened. Be a little thankful. And enjoy the rest of your vacation.
