Solving today’s Addiction crisis requires ending government Harm Production, engaging the private sector, promoting individual responsibility and fostering a more robust & transparent civil society Join the discussion this Friday in Vancouver

Canada ran a pilot in British Columbia from 2023 to 2026 allowing adults to possess up to 2.5 grams of drugs like opioids, cocaine, meth, and MDMA without criminal charges. Police instead directed individuals to health and support services rather than arresting them. Let’s check in on Vancouver today.

Harm reduction workers and tax Payer funded VANDU (Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users) have been paying people to participate in their overdose awareness marches. However, in 2026, attendance has dwindled as the public increasingly learns what these groups are actually doing. Even so called harm reduction figures like Guy Felicella are struggling to draw in any support in Vancouver, BC.

A man in a hard drug induced psychosis trips out right in front of a Tim Hortons, then heads inside to continue tripping out , gets chewed out by a customer and orders food. Vancouver, BC.

The City of Vancouver cut funding to a program called MAPS, marketed as a sex workers program. However, , all they do is drive around handing out sandwiches and coffee to women in front of places which already provides a wide array of services for women

@somerspsych Absolutely Absurd (def): Giving a human with serious addiction and/or mental health issues zero incentive to change and expecting them to change.

People who use Consumption Sites need healthy housing, support regaining employment, and treatment for their addiction and mental illness And most of their drug use occurs outside a CS - BC went from 1 to 58 CSs as deaths and suffering soared Invest in prevention & social reintegration

🚨 THIS IS VANCOUVER 🚨 8 city cleaners. 3 VPD officers. All deployed… to clean the SAME block again. Let that sink in. This isn’t “random trash.” It’s being dumped—on sidewalks, in doorways, piled onto public bus stops. And we just keep sending crews back… over and over… pretending it’s working. At what point do we stop calling this compassion and start calling it what it is—a broken system? Nothing changes if nothing changes. 🎥 Watch this👇 @VancouverPD @greenestcity

I am increasingly convinced that this will be David Eby's last legislative session as Premier. Eby is the focus of much of the blame but all NDP MLA's who supported the reckless, dangerous experiments like decriminalization, "safe supply", a reconciliation agenda that led to court decisions like Cowichan, out of control use of MAID that goes way beyond what other provinces would tolerate and so much more. On the economic front, the NDP policies have led to record debt and deficits, non-stop downgrades to our credit rating, people fleeing the province, surging unemployment, a collapsing forest industry, collapsing business confidence... A Healthcare system that is unrecognizable from ten years ago, addicts dying on our streets, declining educational outcomes, post secondary institutions obsessed with fringe DEI programs over merit while campuses become unsafe for Jewish students, criminality that drives out business... Every single NDP MLA had a role to play in this. British Columbia has suffered while NDP staffers and politicians have themselves raised and promotions. It's time they are shown the door. All of them.

Yaletown stabbing suspect receives conditional sentence - BC | Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/11803454/…

The company PHS css that runs Insite for VCH are in a business of capturing people and making them dependent on the addiction as being that is your life now and there has been only decline and death ;no advancement to a better life for young adults now 10 yrs older ;not wiser.

Decriminalization of hard drugs was a horrible, failed and dangerous experiment. There is nothing safe about so-called safe supply. Far too many of these taxpayer-funded pills are being sold right outside pharmacies to buy harder street drugs. Watch my full clip on Conversations That Matter where I lay it out. We need real investment in people with more treatment beds, more recovery programs, and more counselling to bring our loved ones home drug-free. British Columbians deserve better. Join me, Findlay4BC.ca

There should be no conditional sentencing for somebody who stabbed MULTIPLE people. Also politely asking a mass stabber to not possess any knives is beyond delusional. Justice is not being done here. globalnews.ca/news/11803454/…

Drug overdose is now the leading cause of maternal death for people who live inside Vancouver's Coastal Health Authority "They compare it to similar outcomes as Afghanistan or the Central African Republic." Little by little, Dave Eby's joining the Third World @Dave_Eby

A stabbing spree gets you house arrest lmao. Start naming these judges. Make them explain their decisions too. globalnews.ca/news/11803454/…

#VPDNews: Vancouver Police are seeking additional witnesses related to an incident that occurred in Downtown Vancouver’s business district on March 25, 2026. At approximately 7:20 p.m., police responded to Granville Street between Dunsmuir and Pender Street after reports of a man yelling and screaming at people. The man was arrested and remains in custody. Investigators are asking anyone who was in the area at the time and witnessed the incident or was affected by this individual to come forward. Derek Jason Sangris, 47, is charged with one count of sexual assault and unauthorized possession of a prohibited weapon. Anyone with information is asked to call 604-717-0604.

The right question: “At what point will we recognize that these losses are not an inevitable consequence of substance use, but the result of policy choices?” My son’s preventable death was one of 18,000 timescolonist.com/opinion/commen… via @timescolonist

Harm Reduction was corrupted and became harm production

@seanorr I can’t believe we have to keep saying this: all neighbouring states/provinces dealing with the same toxic drug supply have consistently had lower OD rates than BC, with no decrim or safe supply, while BC a global pioneer in harm reduction has seen absolutely the worst outcomes.

BC’s Health Officer is dangerously ignorant about the science of addiction Is her closed-mindedness related to the fact that several of her closest colleagues formed “safe supply” companies? Too big to fail? Note: No jurisdiction in the world has ever reduced a drug crisis by making a drug more readily available
