Trudeau’s Taxpayer-Funded Hard Drugs Killing Canadians

August 15, 2024
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ottawa, ON – After nine years of Justin Trudeau and his wacko policies of legalizing hard drugs, crime, chaos, drugs and disorder have flooded our once-safe streets.

Yesterday, Canadians learned that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Trudeau’s Liberal government and BC’s radical NDP government. This lawsuit shows that Trudeau and the NDP lied when they said that their taxpayer-funded hard drugs were “safe supply.” After all, there’s no amount of heroin, fentanyl, or meth that is safe.

It also makes clear that these drugs are being diverted and resold on the black market, often by criminal gangs. In fact, just last week we learned that the radical BC NDP had been hiding a memo that made it clear: diversion of lethal opioids would be an inevitable consequence of the Liberal-NDP’s taxpayer-funded hard drug program. Trudeau has even condoned diversion of these drugs. In April 2022, Health Canada helped finance a report that advocated that doctors see diversion in a positive light.

Greg Sword, a man who lost his fourteen-year-old daughter Kamilah to a drug overdose in 2022, is leading the charge against these insane policies in this case. The lawsuit states that she was a victim of the governments’ misrepresentations, and that she believed that drugs diverted from the “safe supply” program were genuinely safe.

Kamilah’s friends have explained that they “could go up to a drug addict and ask for dillies and they’d have bottles of them, because they would go into pharmacies, get them filled up and sell them to the kids.”

Stories like this one have become all too common. Just last year, 8,049 Canadians were killed by opioids – a 184% increase since Trudeau became Prime Minister. The Vancouver Police Department recently claimed that roughly half of all hydromorphone seizures were diverted from Trudeau’s taxpayer-funded hard drugs program.

Trudeau’s wacko policies are just not worth the cost – especially when that cost is measured in human lives.

Only Common Sense Conservatives will ban hard drugs, end Trudeau’s failed experiment and bring our loved ones home drug-free.
