from Full Comment · host Postmedia
Fast enough to make your head spin, Canada’s “harm reduction” approach to helping drug addicts went from a few safe injection sites to giving away powerful opioid drugs to addicts. As Adam Zivo, journalist and director of the Canadian Centre for Responsible Drug Policy discusses with Brian, ideologically radical public health officials now even insist that any addiction treatment other than giving addicts more free drugs is racist and colonialist. And despite overdose deaths rising and more addicts being created by the diversion of so-called safe supply, Zivo says these drug-policy extremists won’t stop until they make all dangerous street narcotics legal — and as easy as possible for anyone to get.
