The Liberal Government Keeps Killing People With Free Drugs - Does Alberta Have The Solution?

[@TRUEC4N4DI4N]

We need more leaders like Danielle Smith! She has more balls than Trudeau and many Premiers in this country!

[@donman9154]

More of a brain too!!

[@JamesThorlakson-ky7xd]

No brain just a talker

[@jcorreia-v6e]

Yes she does if only Ontario had someone like her running the province 🙏👍

[@marksmith7896]

I agree 100%. As a taxpayer, I support rehabilitation..... NOT taxpayer funded free drug dispensing !!!!!!

[@Carlos-sd6cz]

as a Taxpayer why I have to pay the rehab of some one that I don't know? A drug user is a personal decision, why I have to pay for others decisions? Drug users must be responsible from their actions.

@@Carlos-sd6cz Because you're one country. Paying taxes into a common pile, is common for the entire people of the nation (or state). But it looks like US people don't totally get this concept.

[@Carlos-sd6cz]

I immigrate legally to Canada, and I had assimilate completely to this country, respect laws and traditions and done nothing but work hard, never got a dollar for free. So it bothers me that irresponsible people receive the same (or better) services than me. If a drug user want to get in a rehab program great, but not with my taxes.

@@Carlos-sd6cz Yeah, I see what you're saying. Not least because I'm kind of a low tax/limited government person myself. And kind of support individualism (over collectivism) too. But I have to admit there's a balance that should be found, you cannot have 0% taxes and 0 government either. What you don't get is that some of those who get rehab will actually manage to clean up, get a job, start payng taxes, then later when you or someone you know get sick, maybe that persons taxes pay for you or those you love. That's what you seem to not get. That drug (ab)user gets help, then later others get help from what the former drug user pays in. Everybody helps everybody. I don't 100% get this negativity you have towards it even IF I'm myself a low tax type of guy.

[@dougfrith5001]

Sounds like Ontario would do well to copy Alberta.

[@blacksmithden]

EXACTLY !!! There is NO such thing as "safe" poison.

[@cindyhaduik7171]

Ikr 🤷‍♀️ , I'm completely bewildered by those who believe " safe " supply will have a success rate ...( unless, of course, the objective is an increased death rate , that's been " successful ")

[@Proudgrammie]

Way to go Daniel Smith!! Saving people, tough or not, as a grandma raising one of now 3 abandoned grandchildren because of drugs and violence, i thank you!!!

[@jcorreia-v6e]

Alberta is blessed for having such a great Premier like Daniel Smith 👍

[@edc7199]

Her leadership and respect she has is why Trudeau is trying to ruin Alberta.

[@malcolmhamilton5200]

Having lost our youngest brother to Oxy, it became clear the Liberals are going the WRONG way. Kudos to Premiers for taking the lead on returning our loved ones, NOT facilitating, enabling and assisting them to die, as the Liberals are currently doing.

[@Proudgrammie]

Amen, so sorry for your loss ❤

[@malcolmhamilton5200]

​​@@ProudgrammieThank you. He was 45 and had never voted Liberal in his life.

[@ultimatespidybawlz2198]

@@malcolmhamilton5200honestly the government needs to sue the pharmaceutical companies that started the crisis and then put it into rehabs and cleaning up/helping this crisis instead of peddling “safe” supply

She is the best premier in canada

[@kachmi]

OMG, an healthcare model that actually cares about your health...how absurd!

[@tonydamiani7353]

Yes, because giving people drugs is going to keep them off drugs

[@tanyac9180]

Agreed. But even worse, it actually gets more people hooked on drugs. The addicts who are prescribed a 'safe supply' sell their prescriptions for hydromorphone to anyone, including high-school students, because they want the fentanyl instead.

[@chrislavalley]

There's no such thing as a safe addict!

[@canucklehead0]

Could not agree more with Premier Smith! It's so refreshing to hear a voice of sanity amongst the chaos of the Left these days. As an Albertan I support everything she has done, her ideas make sense! Please continue being the voice of reason in Canada!!

[@Coldone24]

No word salad here, How refreshing..

[@TheScoundrel70]

Tough is not inherently wrong. Its not an easy problem. There is not going to be an easy solution. I think the Alberta model has the correct goals, and has shown their programs to be positive and effective. Well done!

[@dmay2136]

Best Premier ever!

[@lichtsoldat7697]

And yet....some Canadians cannot comprehend this. It's astounding the level of stupidity among Canadian citizens. This is the proper approach. The other one was a DISASTER!!! Help people and save lives. Our young people are dying. Wake up Canada!!

[@Mrskateboardboy]

We have tried "woke" and have seen the consequences. The country is returning to common sense

[@sio7245]

She is awesome. 100% agree with her

[@user-TommyD35]

Rents are the highest they have ever been forceing people onto the street. I know retired people living in tents because their pension isn't enough for rent and food. That's killing Canadians as well as drugs.

[@MorriganEshara-vb8tz]

Look at the the houses the elite, banks and establishment have put back into their pockets by making sure to drive as many as possible into abject poverty.

[@rickboer7715]

A leader with class and vision.

[@thegan9143]

Clicked and thumbs up before anything was said. Smith is a real person, a great manager and steward of the people's govt and resources. Best premier in Canada. Authentic, thoughtful, doesn't deflect, answers questions and doesn't play stupid games like every federal liberal MP.

[@Proudgrammie]

Well said!

[@peterg76yt]

Smith for prime minister!

[@petergiffin9238]

Sorry. We’re going to keep her here in Alberta. Our next PM Pierre is another Albertan! Just watch the positive changes coming.

[@glennoverhoff6589]

From BC, thank you Danielle. You provide a beaming light of hope that we know will come to BC one day.

Think? Moreover over wasting the taxpayers $$$$$ on drugs which are not needed but only subscribed by doctors for their own gains

[@ToddSauve]

Who'd a thunk it? If an addict can't or won't stop taking drugs then you take away their freedom and force them to. Sounds like a real and workable idea to me!

[@ludmilamanweiler5986]

[@robertmccardle5113]

AWESOME PREMIER. COMMON SENSE

[@Stainlessdude]

The Canadian Government should not be an illegal drug dealer 🤬

[@MorriganEshara-vb8tz]

It's a profitable form of eugenics. Question: What is socialmurder?

[@ToddSauve]

Trudeau & Co. are really something else. _They_ don't even know what they are.

[@sled9263]

Danielle Smith is a national treasure! Albertans are very fortunate to have such a strong, caring leader. Canada needs more leaders like her.

[@BonezBenz]

Having that support place to go to for up to a year will make a vast difference. It will help them further in overcoming any addiction(s) they may have had after treatment. Better success rate.

[@ledacedar6253]

How uplifting to hear Danielle. The devils advocate is meaningless to me. Saving the economy, thinking smart for the addicted lost people everywhere is stupendous; but compare to TRUDEAU & every Liberal Mp! ❤

[@kellybreen5526]

Smith is a smart leader. I think the addiction counsellors are just trying to justify their positions. The current MHA is madness. Smith gets it.

[@tedcity5861]

Alberta is way ahead of socialist BC for treatment options. NDP, you know, the party for the people .... 😅

Smart keep up the good work Premier Smith !

[@Catherine-2008]

I sure hope this woman is fluent in French! DS for future PM!

[@whosaidthat5236]

That’s another thing we need to change in Canadian politics. The need to speak French, not only is it a waste of time by having to have translations done in real time. But the libtards use it as a way to stall comity meetings and waste the clock so they don’t have to answer questions

[@ColdHardToronto]

Smith for PM

Nope. We’re keeping her here in Alberta.

Can we clone Daniel Smith for Ontario?

[@andydragt4952]

She is by far the best politician in Canada right now and proving it more and more everyday.

[@stevegesner8835]

While no one in their right mind would advocate giving alcoholics free alcohol as it would likely kill them, the woke side believes giving free drugs to addicts is a good idea. What are they thinking?

[@MorriganEshara-vb8tz]

More money. Fewer to ask for help.

They aren't thinking.

[@aldenfloyd5432]

Tough love has been shown to generally help people much better than enabling, and the rest of Canada should be modeling there recovery programs after Alberta's. The only thing I could add would be funding that helped recovered addicts pay for needed therapy, for up to an additional 5 years, if they ask for it.

[@scytale6]

Just use the notwithstanding clause to override the ban on forced therapy. No government should respect the Charter of Rights.

[@captainstk001]

[@emilecrotteau7312]

🇨🇦 I AGREE 100% AND I AGREE 1000% WITH YOU LAST COMMENT ,,,THANK YOU

As a Canadian Taxpayer, I want to see rehabilitation as a national strategy, and an end to taxpayer funded drugs

[@karinturkington2455]

Perhaps our future Prime Minister is here - Danielle Smith. Even 'feminist' Trudeau can't deny a real woman for the next PM - or can he? Premier Smith is a strong, clear communicator with a vision for Canada that includes all of us, including me and my daughters.

[@HonestReflections3000]

Daniel Smith has it right. On the other addiction side we have Premier Doug Ford putting alcohol in grocery stores, gas stations and convenience stores. We have ads galore fore online gambling and we have marijuana stores popping up everywhere. This has got to be creating more addictions that can lead to drug addictions and nobody needs it. It is enough to be high on life.

[@ronaldbertin9455]

I love her common sense approach ,and determination, to fix Turdo screw ups.😊😊😊

[@MorriganEshara-vb8tz]

Not screwups. It's an intentional 'screw-over!'

[@007bombastic]

Same argument supporting restrictions on Charter rights was used for the Trucker Convoy. That’s ironic.

[@joebush1663]

Canada is a progressive society that endorses abortion and euthanasia in the name of compassion. Wouldn't allowing drug addicts to overdose be consist with this moral definition of compassion?

Because Trudeau's approach is working so well...

Hope Doug Ford is listening to a real conservative!!! Forced vax’s but can’t force drug treatments??😂

[@timcoolican459]

RIGHTS VS LAW Suspending someone's rights for 'their own good', should never be the case. But if people break the law, their rights are suspended as outlined by their incarceration. So, if we make the selling, buying, or act of using illicit drugs an offence, we can then incarcerate and mandate rehabilitation for these addicts. But these drugs must be made illegal, in order to do this. We have, or at least should have, the right to do as we please, until we are caught breaking the law. Then, and only then, should we have certain rights suspended...not before.

[@MorriganEshara-vb8tz]

And your solution to stop the thousands of deths that 'just happened' to occur under liberal policies?

[@thecretanbull4784]

So what’s the alternative? Keep supplying drugs to them? Instead of helping them? Yes there is a difference between being coerced into taking an experimental drug and trying to help someone get their lives together. You make no sense. And yes I’m unjabbed and f N proud. Also speaking as a ex coke head. Wish I had help instead of what I went through.
