I have watched with alarm how under Adrian Dix and Dr. Bonnie Henry our medical situation in B.C. has grown worse and the cracks are becoming wider.
Now, Dr. Henry says to add heroin and other exceedingly dangerous drugs to the ‘safe supply’ model.
I and many others fail to understand how the word ‘safe’ can be used for any of these drugs. Instead of supplying children with so-called safe drugs which are still going to make addicts out of them, the children should be educated at the very start how terrible the drugs are and how they will affect their health and their minds.
Her rationale for doing so is faulty and I cannot fathom why our government wants to see an increase in addicts throughout our province.
I was appalled that our government wants to supply minors with ‘safe’ drugs such as fentanyl. This wider net that Dr. Henry wants to spread will also catch many children by giving them heroin as a ‘safe supply.’
Does no one in our government walk the streets and see what is going on?
The increase in crime is frightening, but even worse is to see the number of addicts on the streets increasing. These poor people need rehabilitation, not an increase in drugs.
Our government needs to fire Dr. Henry and Adrian Dix immediately and change B.C. from a province where addicts pour in from other provinces for easy access to drugs to where addicts can get real help for their addictions.
If Premier Eby cannot do so, we, the electorate, must fire Eby and install another government that will have the grit and determination to stop the nonsensical spiral into more drugs, more crime and more of our society’s destruction.
