“It is both sad and deeply frustrating to see the number of illicit drug deaths reach a new high in B.C. four years after the declaration of a public health emergency,” chief coroner Lisa Lapointe said in a statement. Every health authority is either at or near its highest-ever monthly total; however, Island Health surpassed its previous record by 36 per cent , the report said.

So dispensing known quantities of medical grade drugs will work but addicts are unworthy and should just die, unlike Nana in the 'home.' That's my take on the comments.

The corona cure is worse than the cause

In local BC news they said the CERB was huge contributing factor I.e. huge $ on street

Critics of lockdowns predicted this would happen and it did. The overdose deaths in one month exceeded covid deaths.

Well there is no rehabilitation for those who injure their spinal chord from back trauma. Those who suffer will go to the streets for heroine is they cannot get the amount needed for pain relief. And the insanity of relief for pain will injure the mental health of Canadians. WHY.

◻️In May, as B.C. lifted restrictions, a record 170 people died of overdoses, largely from “extreme” fentanyl concentrations in the drug supply, according to the BC Coroners Service.
