Who could have guessed that allowing drug use in public would turn out badly.

[@shaylafied]

Weird hey?

[@Shark-fj2sz]

The important part is to remain calm no matter what and don't disrespect your leaders eh ?

[@tinaroberts5858]

What a surprise. Idiots in government.

[@jody-ne7xs]

Not one dipper

[@professorakiba434]

I don't know Marijuana seems to enjoy public use with it going badly

[@ddd45125]

There is no circumstance where hard drug use is ok.

[@dirtysanchez5154]

I 100% agree.

[@blurtam188]

Chronic pain is one such circumstance

[@ericwhitlam7517]

Unless you are giving lethal overdoses to the importers, manufacturers or distributors of them live on public television for educational purposes on the evening news

Unless it's Viagra

[@blondelynne9717]

NDP need to go!!

[@crazyralph6386]

They’ll be non party status after next election

[@MsxHolmes]

They are fascists.

[@marshferguson4737]

And the green party!

[@user-ov4mk9ox8y]

as if that has ANYTHING to do with an issue that's been building long before Gordon Campbell was even out of high school, and Christie Clark graduated from SFU. yeh, it delays things, but it not the cause or the solution. look further back. way back.

[@supermash1]

I don't understand this country anymore. How it became okay to use hard drugs openly is beyond my understanding.

[@user-ld6wo4rv8h]

Because women vote and when women vote, it’s about feelings, not facts.

[@Paulin-pw5jx]

women voters are the reason why Trudeau exists lets be honest .....

[@mikeedwards1768]

liberal and ndp policy seems about right

[@whiskeytango9769]

Drinking alcohol in public spaces has always been illegal, why using drugs in public was ever allowed is completely beyond me. Take the drug addicts and if they want free drugs, they can get those in treatment.

[@Nevermore4u]

Why no accountability that they were extremely wrong

[@jimmyzhao2673]

Politicians have qualified immunity.

[@DaniB1229]

Treating drug users like spoiled children is the problem

They are enablers

It couldn't have anything to do with him getting his ass kicked in every poll. I'm sure he is just following the science, political science.

[@bartcanuck734]

The NDP have ruined that province…. once a great arm of Canada and now an armpit

[@tinaroberts5858]

Well don't vote them in again. The ndp has always been a crap government

[@user-ov4mk9ox8y]

didn't take long, if true, eh? Christie hasn't been gone that long!!

[@MsxHolmes]

They're fascists.

[@michaelt1349]

Parts of it are more like a rupturing anus!

[@marshferguson4737]

And millions of dollars for an apartment in Vancouver 😂

[@Mrmaniqs]

So bad policies lead to bad behaviors. Wow,...this is why you do not governance to children or childlike adults.

[@Heisenturd72]

The title of this video tells you how far our democracy has fallen

[@robertmolitor-wi7rp]

I'm sick of open drug use especially needles in london ontario canada.. It's done on side walks in front of children with police just watching. It's disgusting. Save our youth and recriminalize open drug use in public

[@MartinKellinghusen]

Who would have guessed allowing drug addicts to do drugs anywhere would be an issue.... So many policies with so little common sense. Policy analysts should have to walk outside and actually see reality once and awhile with their own eyes.

[@user-ld6wo4rv8h]

What did you expect in a society where women are given voting rights and other rights they don’t deserve.

[@kingoftheclunge]

get rid of the "safe" consumption sites next

[@meridianline4022]

Exactly there's no such thing as safe consumption of any of these drugs

[@daniel-jm7lj]

Get eby out

[@asmith8947]

It's looking like we just might! 🙏

[@DIDYOUSEETHAT172]

1:35 Oh no! What?! How?! Why?!!!! It is baffling how such a genius strategy could lead to wide spread public drug use. WHAT WENT WRONG?!!! This falls under the category of. WTFF were you thinking? 😜😜😂😂

[@frustratedcanadian928]

Who would have thought eh 😂 All on the tax payer

[@Whateva67]

Why did I, just a regular non drug using taxpayer , know this was going to happen and not one person in so called power knew this? No one asked me,thats why 😅

[@marksterling7110]

The headress story is a stupid non-event. We must be soooooooooooooooooo much more sensitive to the culture don't you know?

I'm really sick of Trudeau .

It’s provincial not Federal. Blame him and the federal government for some issues but not all of them.

Literally 25 seconds on extremely high rates in breast cancer rates among 3 age groups...but no insight as to why or how to reduce the chances. Then off to King Charles cancer story... Amazing news we have here..very helpful.

[@sqr2024]

Hopefully the PCs can win so that failed province can reboot itself. More deaths by drugs than gun and alcohol but B.C. make it legal and bans firearms.

[@corce209]

David Eby needs the votes!, so criminalize the drug use! Wow, Eby, NDP is trying to sound a tiny bit conservative.

[@asmith8947]

Desperation is showing.

[@davey7452]

Beware of unintended consequences.

[@ipressedabutton]

why criminalize More ?? if you cant even contain all of the other items you have criminalized ? who are you tryin' to fool ??

[@businessmike2371]

another example if just implementing things for quick social experiments that end up destroying the society, drugs and immigration need sound and data backed decisions, there needs to passion for work in policy making, this country deserves it, its painful seeing Canada like this.
