I’m truly honoured to be named to the Shadow Cabinet of the @CanadianGreens as the Critic for Mental Health and Addictions. Our social safety net has abandoned vulnerable populations in so many ways, and it's time we lifted them up to a better standard of living. 🧵 #cdnpoli

UNBELIEVABLE Dr. Sereda lied about "safe supply" diversion to youth at committee. She has already received $6.5M from Trudeau to fund her dangerous experiment. We need an emergency meeting but the NDP-Liberal-Bloc vacation coalition wants to hide the truth.

Today we face with a heavy heart the tragic loss of 182 people due to toxic-drug poisonings in our province in the month of April. This is more than just a number as each person was irreplaceable to their families, friends, coworkers and neighbours.

NEW - BC is functionally re-criminalizing drug possession and drug use in all public spaces. Police can resume seizure/arrests. Decriminalization will remain only in private residences, shelters, overdose prevention sites, and healthcare sites with outpatient addictions services.

@ToddDohertyMP @andreasereda The program is not dubious, it is evidence based and supported by the medical community, experts and front line workers. What she said was accurate. There is no evidence to support the claim that children are accessing #safesupply . Stop your #AttacksOnFacts #cdnpoli

The point of lifting #PWD out of poverty is not for them to participate in the economy. It is so they can live. Period. We have to rid ourselves of the obsession with humans as mere cogs in the economic wheel that is capitalism. #CDB #UBI #cdnpoli

Dignified, respectful and equal access to air transportation for Canadians with disabilities is non-negotiable. That's why we’ve announced that on May 9 we’re summoning airlines to Ottawa for Canada’s first National Air Accessibility Summit. ⬇️

Canada will allow 30-year mortgages for first-time home buyers. This means that for the same monthly payment you can get $50k more credit to bid housing prices higher, in exchange for paying $200k more in interest long-term. A better solution would be land value tax. 1/4👇

@RyanMarino This is perhaps the biggest reason why we need to legalize and regulate. People will do drugs no matter how hard you wag your finger at them. Might as well make sure it's safe to consume.
