The Deadliest Scandal in Canadian History
Below is is a documentary by Aaron Gunn, a politician and investigative journalist, about the Canadian government’s ‘safe drug supply’ for addicts . . . a deep dive into the corruption and havoc.
What began in Vancouver’s DTES has spread across Canada.
A sampling of several of the viewer comments:
“I am a paramedic in BC off on PTSD. . . . First responders have been screaming about this for a while now. It is so relieving to see the truth finally come out. Safe supply is killing them faster. There is no “safe” addiction to opioids, and where have all the treatment facilities gone?”
“I’m a recovered addiction survivor over 10 years now. Had I still been using the past 10 years with the BC decriminalization of drug use, it would have been a death sentence for me. This experiment is a failure by our governments.”
“You can use drugs in public but you cannot smoke cigarettes? Hmmm” 
“. . . As an ex addict myself, the only thing that saved me was people who cared but did not enable my addiction . . . Free drugs and crack pipes is exactly the opposite of what addicts need.”
“We know two young men caught up in this. One was able to get a $25,000 loan and enrolled into a rehab center. He worked for three years to pay it off, and thankfully saved his life. The other can’t afford and is struggling heavily as BC currently has no room in any govt funded programs. Who didn’t realize drugs wouldn’t destroy our province? In my fifties, it’s hard to watch our citizens suffer, compared to the quality of life my youth lived.”
“I have lived and worked in downtown Vancouver since 1987, and as a pedestrian who walks everywhere, I have witnessed the alarming and precipitous decline of this city in the last decade. I used to feel safe pretty much anywhere, barring a few sketchy areas of the city, but now, it doesn’t feel safe, even in broad daylight. Very sad to see and infuriating to realize that it was avoidable.”
“I was a Paramedic in BC from 1997 to 2007. I spent a lot of time in the lower mainland and the Downtown East Side. Back then we were worried, along side our partners with the Vancouver Police and Vancouver Fire. I remember an inspector telling us that unless this was dealt with, we can see these homeless shelters and overdose prevention side growing through out this province. NO ONE LISTENED !!! And now here were are, No drug enforcement, no jailing of drug dealers, not enough tiered policing, training or involvement. This is a tragedy. And criminal.
“Country wide ban on advertising of alcohol and cigarettes. Cigarettes must be under lock and key in the stores. Age identity must be produced, and if a store is caught selling tobacco to someone under age, the consequences are severe. I’ve never heard of anyone attacking, robbing, or committing any harm to feed their tobacco habit.”
And below is Sam Cooper, investigative journalist, with Peter Copeland at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, discussing the growing sense, on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border, that something is very wrong when it comes to our security because of compromised institutions, the flow of drugs and organized crime—the web of foreign influence and transnational operations that is emerging:
