‘Irresponsible populist nonsense’: Addictions minister calls out Poilievre over drug policy

OTTAWA – Mental Health and Addictions Minister Carolyn Bennett says Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s comments about safe drug consumptions sites are “irresponsible” and “misguided.”

Her comments come after Poilievre released a video Sunday titled “Everything feels broken,” in which he says safe consumptions programs need to be defunded, because they lead to “massive” increases in overdoses and crimes.


Looks like BC has had enough Carolyn.
