The Harper Regime's Inhuman Legacy Takes Another Blow



It was just another dull government statement of the kind they churn out all the time. But it really made my day.

Because what it means is that in another Canadian city, fewer people like those in the picture are going to die from drug overdoses. 

Today, Health Canada granted the necessary exemptions from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act for the operation of three new supervised consumption sites in Toronto.

And not only is that great news because of the thousands of lives that will be saved.

It's also another massive blow to the inhuman legacy of the monstrous Harper regime...

The Opioid Epidemic and the Great Con War on Drugs



I began warning about Canada's opioid abuse epidemic, and about the danger of the killer drug fentanyl, a long long time ago.

And about the crying need to create more drug rehabilitation centres, and more frontline medical facilities like Vancouver's model Insite clinic.

So I'm glad to see that the Liberal government is taking action. 

But I also want to remind people, that thousands of Canadians have died from drug overdoses since I first started writing about the problem.

And remind them who I believe deserves most of the blame for the deaths of so many.
