since last fall, CPC/Poilievre's attacks against the federal government's safe(r) drug supply policy was purposeful misinformation about drug toxicity and the opioid overdose crisis (as particularly focused on British Columbia).

Poilievre's "solution" to combat the overdose crisis is to tighten up borders, arrest drug dealers, and force people into recovery... you know, essentially what had been the status-quo!
