Doug Ford: When Ignorance Kills

The thought of Doug Ford as Premier of Ontario fills me with horror and disgust, for there is no telling what that political ape might do to degrade our country, and compromise our future.

But the thing I fear the most is what he might do to the province's healthcare system. 

For although he is promising to create 30,000 long-term care beds, which would be great, he hasn't said how he would pay for them.

And judging by what he said yesterday, I'm afraid he could cannibalize the healthcare system and kill thousands of people.

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.
