Dr. Bonnie Henry's report on all-drug legalization reads like a drug users' wish list, extolling a 'compassion club' model & full access.
It has a bizarre identity undercurrent, such as contributors' list (below) & chapter on "unlearning white supremacy" in the PHO's office. And
This kind of knee jerk penalization of a frontline worker is why so many are fearful of speaking publicly. Nurses, doctors, care aides, stayed silent too long abt chaos in hospitals & long term care b/c they were scared of losing their jobs. But the public needs to know truth.
The public supply of addictive drugs/safe supply was supposed to replace illicit drugs and prevent overdoses.
After 7 years operating in Ontario and 3 in BC, there's no proof it does either.
