Exactly! It’s like they’re quietly scheming to return back to how it was before they messed it up with their little experiment. And hope no one notices. This request to BC health authorities and justice system will take at least a year apparently to pass and implement. Too late for his October election. I hope they’re handed their arses on a plate for what they’ve done to BC. The previous liberal government and Horgan’s NDP took a gem and destroyed it.

This was the absolute wrong way. B.C. was the model way to solve this, Alberta’s approach is beyond simple and fails to address anything related to substance addiction.

Trudeau and Eby somehow thought that allowing open drug use anywhere and decriminalizing ALL drugs would keep addicts from over dosing just like Portland is doing. Well it didn't work and actually made it 100x worse especially when they also rolled out the genius idea of catch and release for criminals and simply not prosecuting drug addicts for minor crimes.... guess how well that helped the druggies turn their life around.
