BREAKING: The failed drug experiment is coming to Manitoba.
The NDP are opening a drug consumption site in Winnipeg while provinces across Canada shut these failed sites down. These sites are magnets for drugs and disorder.
Approving a place for people to consume drugs is the easiest thing a politician can do.
It avoids the difficult, serious, expensive work of building real treatment and real recovery pathways.
Instead, they keep people addicted and cycling through the same revolving door of drug enablement.
And as long as they are doing that, politicians never actually have to solve anything.
Real compassion means treatment and recovery. It does not mean opening government-sanctioned drug sites in communities and leaving families to deal with the disorder, needles, and open drug use.
The left-wing politicians pushing this drug site will not live next door to it, so they don't care.
When this site is opened, it will not be the end.
It will be this site first, then the next one, then another.
Then the conversation shifts to government-funded safe supply, where taxpayers are buying the drugs outright.
And then the proposal becomes decriminalization, where there are no consequences for possession of any hard drugs.
That’s exactly the road the NDP government in British Columbia went down, and British Columbia is now a failed experiment that the rest of Canada is desperately trying to avoid.
Real compassion means fighting for recovery, not enabling the next hit.
It is important to note that every single supervised drug consumption site in Canada exists because the federal government provided a legal exemption through the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
The federal Health Minister directly approves consumption sites through Section 56.1 and authorizes provinces to approve sites through a class exemption granted under Subsection 56(1).
Without the Liberal government's approval, these sites are not allowed to exist.
