CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Poilievre calls injection sites drug dens, promises to defund them

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre responds to questions about “safe-injection sites” calling them drug dens. And the fact he doesn’t want them nearby public parks, schools, playgrounds or places where their denizens could endanger people’s lives.

We need funded rehab, not funded drug use. Seems like common sense to me.

[@danielallan8061]

Also, court ordered enforced drug rehab. Basically, your forced to dry out and learn how to deal with your issues.

[@phoenixrising4995]

@@danielallan8061 Exactly! You OD more than once then no more voluntary inpatient care for you when caught using / ODing. After that if you are caught ODing then a DNR order will be served.

[@uncomplicatedi]

@@danielallan8061 Courts have been trying this for decades and it has mostly been a total failure with death rates rising exponentially. Its because if fentanyl kills you there is no rehab. You cannot rehab after death. Alberta has the highest death rate to fentanyl despite having the most rehab beds for this exact reason. People are dying on the streets long before they ever get help.

I want Pierre to win as much as the next common sense conservative but we have to back him up as Canadians and not just think he will take the lead and do everything himself. his words will have as much weight as we as Canadians allow and back him up don't you think?

[@louissehighlights6783]

Very true!

[@Mitch_Kelly]

I do think, well said. Also, we need to welcome Liberal voters, not chastise them, they want a better future too and the middle needs it space again. Pierre embodies that, real progressivism that still defends reasonable Conservative values.

As a medical professional directly impacted and forced to comply with this nonsense; THANK YOU PIERRE FOR RESTORING COMMON SENSE!!!

[@uncomplicatedi]

So you really like fentanyl deaths? You are calling for a massive increase in death and associated costs. All because of your feels

[@crazypolite]

@uncomplicatedi I've read the literature. The only thing the layman might not know is that it doesn't increase frequency. Other than that, it's useless. It enables and at this point, feels like encourages. Forced tx also has low efficacy, but who cares? It's not anyone's job to make safe gasoline to consume if people are drinking it after being told its poison. That's on the people. Let them go.. people with addictions (much less to opiates) *RARELY* get out of it and it's because they aren't motivated to do so. That isn't your or my problem. One more OD is one less burden on the economy.

[@shakyjake2133]

Treatment centers, not jail time, is what's needed. Tired of my tax dollars being spent on feeding their addiction or tossing them in jail for a few days without the possibility of help. Worse yet is the idea that these so called legal drugs are being sold on the black market.

[@uncomplicatedi]

Dead kids don't get treatment. You are calling for death. these sites prevent fentanyl usage but you would rather return to the immense death toll when fentanyl deaths were in the thousands per year?

You can incarcerate people in a facility specifically meant to get them off the drugs and make them deal with their problems.

[@smokiethebear3334]

What a breath of fresh air!

[@David-qk7um]

First offense "rehab jail" with job training. Second offense jail.

[@uncomplicatedi]

Opioids are prescribed for injuries. Then people get cut off by their doctors. Then they get fentanyl. Dead people don't "rehab jail". Pierre is ignoring Fentanyl. You would rather return to the immense death toll when fentanyl deaths were in the thousands per year? You do realize these sites are solving a real problem and solving problems not ignoring them is common sense. Are all your ideas like this?

[@uncomplicatedi]

Like in Alberta. First offense rehab jail. Then death since Alberta has the highest fentanyl death rate in Canada. Actually most of the fentanyl deaths occur among people who have no police record at all

[@hobbes7460]

I don’t care if these sites are in the middle of nowhere, close them all. I hate my tax dollars being wasted on junkies. They should not feel or be safe while using, if they do than where is the incentive to quit?

[@uncomplicatedi]

Dead people don't quit. You are ignoring Fentanyl and how deadly it is. You would rather return to the immense death toll when fentanyl deaths were in the thousands per year? You do realize these sites are solving a real problem and solving problems not ignoring them is common sense. Its not just junkies that die either. Fentanyl was killing tons of kids just starting out and working men who got injured prescribed opioids and then cut off.

@uncomplicatedi perhaps for some. I think people are taking advantage of it. I'm my city they have a site across the road from a huge grocery store. They scan the parking lot watch where you left from or where your going. Either to beg you for money, or break in to your vehicle for a pack of smokes. We never had this problem before ever. But liberals have made things sooooo expensive that it's put people over the edge. I wascan addict once and overcame it on my own. Luckily. I do have respect for your opinion.

[@uncomplicatedi]

@@d.d.b.5228 People taking advantage of staying alive isn't a down side to me and these sites are proven to reduce harm and death by fentanyl. If there is a crime problem that is a policing issue not a keeping people alive problem. I've lost people to fentanyl and the police didn't even attempt an investigation. I am super happy you made it through and kudos to you for taking it on and fighting through. Its not many that can do it your way though and I want people alive not dead.
