...I don't think their is a political entity that has the will, or ability to get this genie back in the bottle.

I hope you are wrong about this, because if you aren't, the future looks very dark indeed.

Too many woke individuals - mostly women, God bless them - are now in charge of the rules.

And it lacks common sense. Hurts us all. Such a shame.

I don't think there is any doubt about that. Politically, societally and culturally we have allowed ourselves to start down a dark hole. I hope for the youngin's sake we can get it reversed.

But Heaslip said that in the midst of a toxic drug crisis, all options need to be on the table.

 

“I think anything that we can put on the table given the level of mortality and risk that we’re seeing for patients who are living in the middle of the toxic drug crisis, we need to be exploring.”

 

No matter what strategy is tried, however, it must include robust evaluation to identify challenges and mitigate potential risk, she said.

 

“There always needs to be a really solid evaluation put alongside them so that we understand the impacts that they’re having — not just for patients but for the broader community as well.”

Good luck with this, once the "exhaust fan" direction conversation starts and costs/infrastructure to filter the air from these substances this conversation will end in a stalemate.

 

A reasonable solution here, is give them an island where it's free reign.  Then all the services can set up shop there if they actually really care and everyone can be drugged out 24/7 whenever, wherever they want.  Dibs on the conch....

When Green policy makes the NDP seem sensible, you know something is terribly wrong with it.
