Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / WOKE TRUDEAU Liberals Addiction Policy Is A Disaster
Transcript
- 0:00Now, I often talk of the dysfunction that Wilkeness brings to everything that it
- 0:05touches. And here's a great example of that in Canada, in fact,
- 0:07a tragic example of that. And we're gonna watch an unhinged grant here from
- 0:11Trudeau's Minister of Mental Health and Addictions. But first I want to give you
- 0:15some important context. Now, what we have yearsographed this shows illicit drug deaths
- 0:19in British Columbia going from at nineteen ninety six to twenty twenty two, and
- 0:24as you can see, it's fairly stable right up until twenty fifteen. What
- 0:28happened in twenty fifteen, Yeah, Trudeau happened not so great after that,
- 0:33in fact, a precipitous climb, and it started well before the coup.
- 0:39So I think it's fairly safe to say that Trudeau's policies, the policies of
- 0:44the Liberal Party in Canada since he was elected, have been disastrous on this
- 0:49front. I mean many other fronts too, but this one is particularly tragic
- 0:53because this is people dying now. Pierre Pouliev, the leader of the official
- 0:58opposition, the Conservative Party in Canada, is criticizing the Trudeau government for its
- 1:03disastrous policies. Here, Polyiev accuses government of contributing to addiction crisis with drug
- 1:08strategy. The leader of the Conservative Party calls the federal government's program to provide
- 1:14drug addicts with a safer supply a complete disaster that needs to be scrapped.
- 1:19That during question period, Pierre Poliev raised a National Post investigation into the program
- 1:26that found that much of the drugs handed out were being resold on the street,
- 1:30usually to fund illicit purchases of the powerful synthetic opioid fentanol. Quote.
- 1:37Why do they sell it? Because while it's powerful enough to get a high
- 1:41to begin with, it loses its strength with use and it gets sold to
- 1:45kids and the profits are then used for fentanol quote. The only thing that's
- 1:49being exempt from the Prime Minister's inflation are the powerful drugs that are killing people
- 1:53because he's subsidizing them and flooding them into our streets. This is very typical
- 2:00of so called harm reduction. It just makes it easier to get drugs and
- 2:05it increases the supply of them, all while feeding into human tragedy. Now,
- 2:09as for the policies, the harm reduction policies, I've made a number
- 2:13of videos about that, and you can check those out of my channel.
- 2:16So let's see what Trudeaus, Minister for Mental Health Addictions has to say.
- 2:23Mister speaker, we are pretty fed up with this fight against evidence based programs
- 2:29that actually are saving lives. We cannot allow the Conservatives to take us back
- 2:34to the failed ideology of the past. Even Harvard's advisor Ben Parent thinks they
- 2:40are taking nonsense. So just stop his saved lives. So this ideologue knows
- 2:50the same numbers I'm about to show you here. Okay, does not care,
- 2:53cannot care less. This is the definition of insanity. This person is
- 2:57either a slave to our cognitive dissonance or is just a liar. We are
- 3:01pretty fed up with this fight against evidence based programs that actually are saving lives.
- 3:07Okay, let's take a look at the evidence here, but all the
- 3:10lives that she's saved. Okay, So for all of Canada in twenty sixteen,
- 3:15there were twenty eight hundred thirty opioid toxicity deaths. That's only opioids,
- 3:22okay, twenty twenty one, eight thousand and six, and that's twenty twenty
- 3:27one. It's gotten worse since then. That sounds to me, like over
- 3:30five thousand more deaths. Yet she's saving lives, is she? Let's go
- 3:36back to this graph from British Columbia. Does this look like they're saving lives
- 3:39or does this look like their policies are costing a lot of lives? Now?
- 3:45Around two thousand and five, British Columbia got ahead of the game with
- 3:47so called harm reduction strategies. And really what harm reduction comes down to just
- 3:53normalizing giving away free crack pipes and needles and injection sites and kind of de
- 4:00facto legalizing at least possession of small amounts of drugs, of course, handing
- 4:04out free drugs. And in BC, I mean it has been actually decriminalized
- 4:09now by Trudeau. Wednesday marked the opening of the Drugs Store, a mobile
- 4:14shop that tells heroin, math, cocaine and MDMA. Yeah, amazingly that
- 4:17place actually did get shut down. Give it six months, there'll be one
- 4:23on every corner. Because the human cost doesn't matter. The ideology matters.
- 4:29If it's not working, it's not far left enough. You know, in
- 4:31Vancouver you have an order of magnitude greater overdoses since harm reduction. What conclusion
- 4:39can you draw? From it. It's not far left enough yet. Real
- 4:42progressive drug policies haven't been tried yet. Sure, and this person knows that
- 4:46I'm through with giving these people the benefit of the doubt. This minister,
- 4:50this Carolyn Bennett, she knows, she knows that it's not working, and
- 4:56she doesn't care. And this is the bitter fruit of her labor, unnecessary
- 5:00death and misery of Canadians, of people's sons, daughters, fathers and mothers.
- 5:05They don't care. She doesn't care. She can't abandon her far left
- 5:10politics, not now, not after she's put so much work into it.
- 5:15She can't just admit she's wrong. Yeah, people like this minister will rant
- 5:19about evidence as they're stepping over bodies as a whole rotten edifice of their ideology
- 5:26is burning and falling around them. So at this point you might be wondering,
- 5:30well, what do we do? We just go back to what we
- 5:31were doing before. I would say, yes, for now, stop doing
- 5:35the thing that kills ten times as many people, and go back to the
- 5:39thing that kills ten times less people, and then reassess the whole thing and
- 5:44then move from there. But we know one thing doesn't work, we should
- 5:47stop doing it. These people won't do it because to do so, they
- 5:50would have to admit that their whole ideology is wrong. That's why they need
- 5:54to be voted out and publicly ridiculed, because nothing's going to change until that
- 5:59happens. Anyway, Please subscribe blank and share. Sharank really helps me out
- 6:01and I thank you for that. I will see you next time. H
