The conversation we’re having about opioids in Canada is starkly different from one year ago.
Where Canadians were once squarely focused on health policies to reduce the high number of opioid deaths — especially last spring, amid British Columbia’s drug decriminalization rollback — our attention has lately shifted, from the people who use drugs to those who sell them.
That’s in large part because of President Trump.
Mr. Trump has said that Canadian criminals send “massive” amounts of illegal fentanyl into the United States, one of the pretexts for his earlier punitive tariff measures.
I am not inclined to believe the habitual liars of the Liberal party on any matter and will trust Sam Cooper’s investigations into Canada’s role in the fentanyl trade.
