Safer Supply Insanity

Let’s talk about the absurdity that’s unfolding in British Columbia under Premier David Eby. Remember the good old days when public service announcements warned us about the dangers of drugs? Fast forward to today, and it’s as if those warnings never existed. Eby’s government, in a move that defies logic, has essentially become the drug dealer to our youth.

The BC government, under the guise of ‘safer supply,’ is now offering fentanyl – one of the deadliest drugs out there – to minors. And here’s the kicker: parents are being sidelined in this decision. No minimum age, no parental consent. It’s a brazen trampling of parental rights and a gross misstep in public health policy.

Sam Cooper’s report from Nanaimo is a glaring testament to the insanity of the BC government’s policies. It paints a harrowing picture of a community torn apart by the very policies meant to ‘help.’ In Nanaimo, the introduction of ‘safer supply’ programs, taxpayer-funded no less, has turned the city into a hotbed of crime and disorder. What’s happening there is nothing short of a tragedy fueled by misguided government actions.

This isn’t just about providing a so-called ‘safer’ drug supply; it’s a complete inversion of common sense. We used to teach our children to stay away from drugs, to report drug dealers. Now, the government is stepping into that very role, offering dangerous substances to minors without any substantial evidence backing this decision. It’s not just irresponsible; it’s downright insane.

Think about it – we’re talking about a drug that has claimed countless lives, wreaking havoc across communities. And now, the BC government wants to hand it out to kids without even a nod to parental authority or responsibility. What message does this send? It’s a slap in the face to every parent trying to keep their kids safe from the clutches of addiction.

And let’s not forget the utter lack of evidence supporting this so-called intervention. The protocols admit there’s no evidence backing the safety or efficacy of this approach. Yet, the government proceeds, blinded by their ideologically driven agenda, indifferent to the potential consequences.

This isn’t health care; it’s state-sponsored recklessness. By framing the provision of fentanyl as medical care, the BC government is not just overstepping its bounds; it’s setting a dangerous precedent. By circumventing the parents The NDP government led by David Eby, has lost its mind. They’re effectively saying, ‘We know better than you about your own kids.’ This isn’t governance; it’s a delusional power trip. John Rustad of the BC Conservatives called it right – this is a parent’s worst nightmare. And where’s Kevin Falcon of BC United? His silence speaks volumes. People are waking up, hence the surge of the BC Conservative Party in polls. They’re sick of the NDP’s focus on everything but the real issues: rampant drug issues, money laundering, and injecting gender ideology into schools. We’re at a point where saying ‘drugs are bad’ is somehow revolutionary. It’s time for a reality check and a serious change in BC.

Parental rights shouldn’t be a battlefield, but under this BC government led by David Eby, it’s a war zone. We parents bring our children into this world, constantly fretting over their safety, desperately trying to shield them from life’s darkest elements. And now, to add to our nightmares, we have a government that thinks it’s okay to hand out fentanyl to our kids without a parents consent. This is beyond absurd; it’s a gross betrayal of trust.

Parental rights should be sacrosanct, not a controversial topic. But here we are, in a province where the government thinks it’s okay to bypass parents and hand out deadly drugs to minors. It’s a no-brainer – this should never have happened. We’ve hit a boiling point. It’s time to slam the brakes on these ludicrous ‘safe supply’ policies. Handing out fentanyl and hydromorphone like it’s candy on Halloween isn’t compassion; it’s a death sentence. The dignity of life is being trampled on the streets of the Downtown Eastside, with addiction holding sway over too many lost souls. The BC government’s approach? More drugs. It’s like trying to put out a fire with gasoline.

We need to shut down this fentanyl flow, end these ludicrous ‘safe supply’ policies. There’s no dignity in addiction, no honor in living on the streets, enslaved by opioids. The downtown east side isn’t a symbol of progressive policy; it’s a monument to policy failure.

The BC government needs to mobilize like it’s wartime. We’re in a state of emergency, and it’s time they treated it as such. Roll out the tents, create a comprehensive treatment plan, and address this drug crisis with the urgency it demands.

I’ll throw my support behind any politician brave enough to stand against these failed policies. We need a seismic shift, a return to common sense, and a recognition of the dire situation we’re in. It’s time for a change, and it’s needed now more than ever. Enough is enough.
