Poilievre trying to “score political points” off the “tragedy of opioids”: Freeland

- Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister, Chrystia Freeland, has accused Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre of trying to “score political points” off the “tragedy of opioids.”
Though Poilievre refrained from calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a “wacko” and getting himself kicked out of the House of Commons again, he continued to press the federal government on Monday during question period, to end a three-year pilot project in British Columbia.
The three-year pilot project began in January 2023 and decriminalizes possession of small amounts of certain illegal drugs - including heroin, fentanyl, and methamphetamine - however, a recent spike in overdose deaths and public disorder has resulted in public outcry to reverse the policy.
“It has now been ten days and 60 dead British Columbians since the government of that province has asked the Prime Minister to reverse his deadly and radical legalization of crack, heroin and other hard drugs in children's parks, hospitals and transit. Why will he not reverse his radical agenda?” Poilievre queried.
While Freeland said the federal government is “addressing” the issues with the B.C. government, she added that it is “absolutely abhorrent” of Poilievre to use the crisis for his own political gain.

He’s not wrong we need change. Ban and give reform
Agreed.
Defund global news
✅️
Yes, we know Conservatives don't support a free media - a cornerstone of democracy.
Freeland's attitude is absolutely disgusting, she has no idea what she's doing
Isn't scoring political points not half as bad as actually supplying the opioids?
There’s no excuse for ableism.
its not bad at all
@@thedentist9309 there’s no excuse for ableism.
Gaslighting 101 is the very first thing they teach at WEF
@@JackieBillyTom and the cjc, the Lso, the ojc, oiprd,and so on. It’s built into insurance plans, and the tactics are generally circuitous, and intended to portray the public as harassers, for resting real life deficiencies, whether that is the over entitlement of party a or the seething and unhinged ableism and disregard for dignity from party B, the complicity of parties c and d etc. the place needs a workplace conduct update consistent with the twenty first century. We can and should hold pharma accountable for back dated issues and ensure the solutions are humane and safe for everyone from community to people who are afflicted with any given condition, injury, hereditary etc. partisan bickering and pontificating is the molasses causing these accumulating and very serious public health crises, handed over to insurers like lawpro (judges and lawyers etc). Who reward and condone ableism. Orgs like cba also condone and so our decision making sector, is contaminated with ableism much like parliamentary or public shared buildings contaminated with mould and asbestos. Ableism is pollution as is over entitlement. The place needs a retroactive and safe update. We do have the tools and resources. And it doesn’t cost as much as people might think.
You can see how partisan global news is
Ableism isn’t a partisan issue, it’s a toxic workplace one.
✅️
They show a recording of a conversation in parliament, with no commentary whatsoever. They give Poilievre tons of airtime. How is that possibly partisan?
@@josephsmith594 I agree the entire place needs a serious revamp and updated twenty first century decorum. Not this seventeenth century hubris.
I will come in defense of Global. They at least give you a voice. Unlike CBC, where you can not even comment.
Pierre is correct, he deserves all the political points.
He’s stating the obvious doing his job
Your / his ableist view of what is obvious….hurts families, and communities, especially if that kind of thing is wat propels anyone’s political career.
@@BearbearbearbearbearbearRarrrr sounds like you described pm Justin Trudeau. How can you support that? Trudeau has to go.
@@marinawilliams3599 I’m not fooled into thinking these are partisan issues. Nothing justifies ableism or refusing to answer questions about criminalizing people who are unwell, holding pharma accountable to provide humane solutions that don’t compromise public safety etc. perhaps that’s a different perspective than yours but it’s not an adverse one.
Yes he is.
What else can we expect from a collection of Liberal/NDP incompetents. Actually it is not only incompetent, ir is wilful neglect- a pilot project that should be stopped immediately.
They should be illegal! Hes not wrong
Cigarettes and alcohol should be illegal too! They kill WAY more people every year!
And the Freedom Convoy was about freedom, right?
So should cigarettes.
Poilievre is out of step with science, evidence - and with the Canadian Association of Police Chiefs who support decriminalization of illicit drugs. Freeland is right - it is absolutely abhorrent to try and score political points off the pain of the opioid crisis. Poilievre is totally unfit to be PM!
Benjamin Perrin, a conservative law professor and former legal counsel to Stephen Harper - has studied the opioid crisis and is openly critical of Poilievre's drug policies. Poilievre supports the war on drugs which has been an abject failure and helped precipitate the opioid crisis. Criminalizing people with substance use disorder doesn't work. Evidence shows that someone with substance use disorder is 50X more likely to overdose and expire if they are sent to jail. Don't be fooled by Poilievre!
@@lovewinsall77you bet!
Scoring political points by speaking the truth??
Works for me!!
Banning drugs doesn't make them go away.
@@tidbit1877 but it will make it harder to get
Nothing true about ableism. It’s an irresponsible way to manage a serious public health crisis.
@@tidbit1877lol. Banning crime in general won’t make crime go away. Should we legalize murder?
@@tidbit1877 Making them easier to acquire and enabling addicts doesn't either.
He speaks the TRUTH!!! WAKO WAKO WAKO TRUDEAU🤯🤬💀🖕🏼🖕🏼
Global false news headlines, Pierre is trying to save lives!
I find the title of your article rather disingenuous. I think a majority of us do not like this poison put out in the streets. The way you worded the question sounds like a political point of view.Vice pointing out the factual content of the article. Please just provide me with the information and not to frame the narrative.
Who was Trudeau trying to score points with when he was in blackface?
Freeland is the DevlL !! PIERRE POILIEVRE FOR PRIME MINISTER 🌊 🩵 🇨🇦 🍁 👌 😎 🌊 🩵 🇨🇦 🍁 👌 😎 🌊
Freeland should come to my neighborhood in Vancouver and watch kids playing with needles and crack pipes and tell us he's just scoring points....Liberals need to go now!
The drug dealer talking about the tragedy of opioids? Make it make sense
Who cares what Christina Freebase has to say about this. She’s tweaking hard today.
I paused the video when the witch started condescending us.
No surprise that Conservatives poll poorly with women. I muted "axe the facts" Poilievre.
@garyhaggquist740
Ask JT about the elbow gate syndrome.
@@fkb247 Ask Poilievre where electricity comes from. He's publicly stated at least 4X that electricians capture electricity from lightning. Ask Poilievre about his assault on Canadian democracy when he was last in government as minister of "Democratic Reform." He used classic Republican style voter suppression that resulted in 172,000 Canadians not voting in the 2015 election. That alone should be disqualifying.
@garyhaggquist740
Maybe the ladies should view the clip of what JT did in parliament. I'm sure more would vote for JT.
@@fkb247 The majority of women are tired of Poilievre's rage farming - his anger, and his vitriol. They are tired of Poilievre's climate cowardice, tired of his assault on the human rights of marginalized communities, and tired of his assault on voting rights & our democracy. They are tired of Poilievres coddling of those who threw freedom tantrums in 2022, and who harassed frontline medical personnel during a public health crisis.
It's time for the men supporting Poilievre to acknowledge what the majority of women recognize - that Poilievre is totally unfit to be PM.
"scoring political points" 🤣😂Like GoebbelsNews presstititutes taking tax dollars from the PMO.
Freeland is clueless and one of the worst politicians I've ever heard...She is Christy Clark 2.0
Meanwhile the liberals are scoring a high death toll like they are playing COD.
Poilievre is right. There is no political points here. And BC has no concern with "particular aspects" of the project. BC is concerned with the ENTIRE project. The whole decriminalization is wrong - plain and simple. No matter how many excuses you put - you can't sugar coat it. Even if it is a health issue - you can't fix it by providing more drugs and opioids. What are you going to provide next - MAID?
Saving lives is about saving lives, is not about scoring political points. If you can not understand logic, go back to school.
Poilievre is scoring political points off the tragedy of Canada. Make Canada Trudeauless Again.
BC: Please recriminalize hard drugs
Lib: yes we are working with BC to save lives
BC: yes, once again, we are asking you to recriminalize hard drugs
Freeland: Yes We share your concerns.
BC: Ok I'm talking to a wall?
They are following the science just like they did during covid. This won’t end well.
Can’t smoke cigarettes with in 15 to 20 feet of a public buildings, but do crack, meth etc .. seems ok with our prime minister of Canada somethings wrong with that.
Three weeks ago they were discussing the issue of housing, last week it was the wacko, this week it's the drug problem without finding a solution to any of the problems.
Anyone who lives within driving distance of Vancouver has known since the beginning that this was not a good solution. Open air drug scene on a provincial level was foolish.
He’s got my vote
On this issue I agree with Poilievre. The majority of British Columbians knew this decision was not going to help those with addictions, it has made things worse for addicts,the public and Communities. Adolescence saw this as a message that it was okay to do drugs,if its not illegal then it must be all right. The whole thing has been a mess right from the beginning.
This is a hard call friends. Of course everyone in BC is on CrAcK, with 2 million dollar homes, your only alternative is to turn to drugs.
Cristia Freeland, when she delivers a turtle speed verbalized zinger, with her bobbing head, oh boy.
The tragedy is the Liberal government not opioids which it makes available.
Why are you guys putting a bias caption? Let the viewers decide what this is
Every time I see a Liberal talk instead of 'do', it makes my vote for the Conservatives more concrete. I'm sick and tired of Liberals saying they are going to do all these things and then never do them.
Justin is a wacko I live in Victoria the city is a dump
Pierre for PM!
The drug policies disguised as compassion are not policies the leaders of the Liberal Party would ever consider for their own children.
It’s a political issue. Tripling the number of deaths due to a political decision needs to be brought up in a political forum.
Freeland is a consumer
He wants you to solve the problem, if you really understand what the "problem" is. If you can solve the problem you can score big, but sadly you don't even want to admit the problem.
Global news.. Garbage news!
I don't believe he's capitalizing on the chronic addiction in this country, any one taking a bus in any city suggests that this is an area of concern, Canada is not Amsterdam, for policies like this to work, a government would first need to have a content population who were treated with some level of dignity, not like barnyard animals, these policies do work in Amsterdam, Amsterdam prior to the fertilizer stuff had no crime, police officers are loved all high fiving people in the streets, and Amsterdam will happily educate any one, not sure of the cost but it wouldn't have been as inflated as it is here. I grew up in addiction, I've been an addict in the streets, if I were out there currently, I don't even know if I would have made it. Perhaps the government could take a minute our of their important lives to put them selves in the shoes of those less fortunate without trust funds, who grew up with nothing at all, in families who had nothing them selves to offer their kids, because they to grew up in poverty, no ones fault, but not uncommon . Would they know what to do, with nothing, I dought it, they dont know what to do with everything so why would nothing be any different it's like they never grew up at all, and it's sad they were givin the ability to have authority over others because they are hurting them not helping them, acting like the ones who are suffering are lying about suffering, because they aren't suffering, do they don't know what suffering is, until they do suffer they won't see it any other way. The privileged cannot govern effectively, they can however protect their positions of power though can't they?
Get rid of Trudeau 😏
does anyone know what the criteria is for CTV news and censorship? I have never been rude to anyone, haven't sworn, haven't attacked anyone, or bullied anyone yet comments seem to disappear in an Orwellian minute. Canada, free speech, open debate, no?
No such thing as free speech on YT
@@on2thenextthing I don't think it is YT, seems to be news channels, other non-news channels seem fine...
Freeland needs to walk barefoot on the streets to get his point.
ask most Asian communities there is no drugs issue in the families
Freeland u 🤡
Sorry but my family is nit touched by opioids. Please don’t put all of us in the same category
We need a change in government yesterday! Trudeau is the worse thing to happen to Canada.
Which country manages the problem of drugs better, Canada or Singapore?
She needs to go before Trudeau does
Bruh Trudeau is trying to do the same thing.
So it is a tragedy
God bless Pierre and his family keep exploring Liberals Corruption every week.
Pierre is calling out the truth to highlight facts, not capitalizing off it. Liberalism, find a cure ❤
She's absolutely full of herself & has the worst responses. She can't handle being outsmarted by Pierre & can never answer any questions asked by the opposition. She is so weak & incompetent and needs to go NOW.
bahahaha they taught Twitchy in Davos how to spin literally anything
Pierre for PM any day. Call a vote.
Where are the negative titles about all the scandals Trudeau is involved in?
They already did it. Now Pierre wants to pretend he cares.
What gender did you choose to identify as today?
Hes not wrong

Global news protecting its boss.
people are dying. And all they can say is he’s scoring political points. Laughable.. if you have been to Vancouver lately its like a scene out of robocop
A useless show, can he dare to talk about Nijjar ?
We are one of those families Ffected by BCs opioid crisis. My 28 year old nephew died of fentanyl poisoning in 2017. He had previously sought treatment. His addiction started at the age of 7 when he was prescribed Adderall for his ADHD. There are more stories like his. Treatment beds are nice but the addict has to want yo quit. Three weeks before my nephews death he had gone for treatment but 72 hours later at the height of withdrawl signed himself out. Harm reduction programs are what's needed until an addict is ready to quit. Without that, there will be more deaths. Poiliviere wants to talk about syringes in parks and playgrounds? Safe consumption sites are a start. Sadly due to the stigma of mental health and addictions, there's always going to be a contaminated hypodermic needle problem. In my province of Manitoba it was a Conservative govt that closed a mentsl health center and put them into the community. Now we have a rampant homelessness problem, an addiction crisis and a lack of mental health services because the govt "thought they could be better managed out in the community".
Who gives a 7 year old Adderall?
Like the Dr and the parents should be looking out for this child!!
You don't drug kids because you can't handle them you get them into sports etc etc.
Shame on you! Shame on your Dr!
"Radical, insane, wacko" is this drama necessary? Why not good, respectful policy debate? The CPC needs to stop, analyze, think through and understand that the GVT is working on the solution. Changes take longer that one or two weeks to implement. Decriminalization did not work in BC, we need another solution across all the provinces. Bring in the experts.
Experts support decriminalization. Even the CDN Assoc of Police Chiefs supports decriminalization. Benjamin Perrin, a conservative law professor and former legal counsel to Stephen Harper - has studied the opioid crisis and is openly critical of Poilievre's drug policies. Poilievre supports the war on drugs which has been an abject failure and helped precipitate the opioid crisis. Criminalizing people with substance use disorder doesn't work. Evidence shows that someone with substance use disorder is 50X more likely to overdose and expire if they are sent to jail.
@@garyhaggquist740 Thank you for your thoughtful comment. All provinces are facing this opiod crisis. You are correct, recriminalizing will not solve the addiction problem. Poilievre is using the crisis as a political wedge. This is unfortunate because the public safety issues need to be addressed by other means/policies.
@@burstallpass4394 Yes, I totally agree with you. Thank you for your thoughtful comment as well. Conservatives are clearly totally out of touch with what is needed to confront this crisis. It's abhorrent that Conservatives are crassly using the agony of the opioid crisis - for their own partisan gain.
It's very pertinent to note that though opioid deaths are up 5% in BC since decriminalization and safe supply has been implemented in a pilot project - during the same time period opioid deaths are up 17% in Alberta where the Conservative government there is vehemently opposed to decriminalization and safe supply.
To me, this is yet another reason - of so many reasons - why Poilievre Conservatives are totally unfit to lead.
M.eth is the choice of use by freedummers. Pierre loves them. Pierre supports them. Pierre is one of them.
If anybody believes that statement then they are evil to even think that besides saying such a thing. Get these drugs off the streets and help these unfortunate souls.
Hey Pierre, the 1950's called. They want their drug policy back.
Ban all drugs including pot.
I doubt he knows how to do anything else.
He’s trying to save lives by getting an incompetent government to reverse an idiotic policy. I guess that’s just scoring cheap political points. How dare he question the NDP/Liberals about their failed and deadly policy.
Who would of thought gives drugs to addicts would create more addicts and more deaths??
Speaking of Crack...I can't stand Mr.Palavor
Pierre wants to stop nothing he just wants to get some cash of out it hes such a maga fool.
This is the liberal way of reducing carbon
Funny how all of these so called conservatives are in favour of big government. But when has hypocrisy ever stopped convservatives😂
Poilievre is out of step with science, evidence - and with the Canadian Association of Police Chiefs who support decriminalization of illicit drugs.

I’m sorry, addiction is not a black and white issue, and I don’t think Canadians should be arrested for having an addiction. PP is gross for thinking locking people up will solve opioid crises.
Better than scoring poltical points of dead people freeland.
