"No time to waste”: Poilievre pushes Trudeau to recriminalize drug use in BC

- A day after getting booted from question period in the House of Commons after calling the prime minister a 'wacko,' Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre continued to push the Trudeau government to quickly end a three-year pilot project in British Columbia that will decriminalize possession of small amounts of certain illegal drugs, including heroin, fentanyl and methamphetamine.
Trudeau responded that the government is working with the province after B.C. Premiere David Eby asked Health Canada to recriminalize the use of drugs in public spaces such as hospitals and parks.
“There is no time to waste,” said Poilievre, suggesting that six people die in B.C. every day because of overdoses.
Both Trudeau and Poilievre accused the other of playing politics when it comes to the opioid crisis in Canada.
Poilievre also demanded that Trudeau reject the city of Toronto’s request for an exemption from federal drug laws, which would see a small amount of illegal drugs decriminalized in Canada’s largest city.

How is this even a debate? Get these toxic, WEF, policies out of canada
Spare us the conspiracy theories. Conservative Benjamin Perrin, law professor and former legal council 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!
Totally agree. Not sure why BC wants to try the project... anyway, it doesn't work anymore, so Trudeau please remove human testing in BC.
@@data.artistbecause somewhere along the line becoming a hard drug addict stopped being a personal choice and suddenly became a status of victimhood in the eyes of liberal society
Right that's the right debate
Amazing how no one seems to know what’s Right and Wrong anymore. These puppets, acting for drug lords or for countries trying to infiltrate and weaken democratic societies, must be getting hefty benefits to put safety of kids and regular citizens at risk. Imagine how much worst the metro and downtown will be if hard drugs are legalized. Toronto streets are known for weed stench already, and it’s an odd day if you don’t see anyone out of whack on the subway on any given day. Good luck, Toronto!
Give free drugs to prevent drug addiction? Are you 3 years old?
Please, you’re insulting three year olds.
Please, look at the literature on the subject. Criminalizing it doesn't help anybody.
Re-criminalizing drug use is just as stupid. We are trying to HELP people, not put them in jail. How stupid does PP think the Canadian public is? The whole reason to decriminalize is to keep addicts OUT of jail. That is not where they belong. If he wants to help them, incarceration is not going to do a damn thing to help them.
😅

I had to yell at a meth head smoking meth in Tim hortons while I was taking my kids out for a doughnut. In bc. I called the police and they just said they will look into it. The Tim hortons owner called me the next day to apologize and said the police did nothing and they are powerless to kick the guy out. Thanks bc and Fed.
Did you get a free donut 🍩?
Not a fan of freedom obviously. Do you call the cops on smokers too?
@@raynwolfsbane2084 You don't have to. Smoking in a non-smoking area will get you tossed out by the police. Blowing meth at children won't. Stay away from the kiddies, now.
@raynwolfsbane2084 Sorry bud, but I don't suppose the 'freedom' to smoke meth in Public and in front of kids.
I had to yell at one at work wow what a junkie trying to use a pallet jack and planning to rob a warehouse ? They have all these workers who can't even use a pallet jack.
Clown show
Trudeau's a wacko
Poilievre is the wacko. The guy has publicly stated at least 4X that electricians capture electricity from lightening. What!? PP is out of touch with reality and totally out of touch with average Canadians.
That makes them twins👯♂️🇨🇦
Wackeau
Nice projecting, what you do best 👍🏽
Dildeau
Spend money on mental health and addiction programs.
That is part of it the bc plan too
Thats the point, criminalizing with send them to con college. De-criminalizing is not legalizing. Just like how weed was decriminalized before it became legalized. Theres a drastic difference.
Jagmeet and Justin live so far in their lala land and gated communities with their trust funds and rolexes that none of their decisions can be even remotely useful for the average person.
PP lives there too.
PP lives in a taxpayer funded 19 rm mansion - private chef & servants - monthly water bills of up to $7500 & annual cleaning bills of $170,000. He's a millionaire career politician who's been gorging at the public trough for 20 years! He claims that electricians capture electricity from lightening! Talk about existing in "Lala land"!
PP just got a new, higher gate.
@@XetaXones At least he doesn't want those of us outside that gate to have to take our children to a playground with addicts smoking crack.
@@fand8326 does he? His base constantly threatens violence to ppl they disagree with, so im supposed to expect PP to care about anyone but his deranged base. Who are likely looking to get advantages based on their violent rhetoric and boot licking
Tired of seeing needles all over so stop giving them out for free filled with drugs
Not how it works lmao.

Canadians should be very wary of the LIberal-NDP decriminalize drug plan.
Other than trying to do away with us, what could be his reason?
Lil PP was telling you horror stories again.

4:53 did trudeau just call this the opioid academic? It’s epidemic. He is so damn embarrassing for Canada
Well, Poilievre said, "breast freeding their kids" at 1:21, LOL, so both made minor mistakes! That's just part of being human, right?
Liar Trudeau , your gone 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
How about a govt funded safe supply of cigarettes for smokers trying to quit?
Ha - it's funny when you try to use the Liberal-NDP partys logic
What kind of compassion is supplying the poison to their addiction?
Wait a minute!!! Lol. I'm pretty sure Doug Ford a few days ago, said, that he hopes Trudeau doesn't bring that law into Ontario. Meaning, it's being pushed by Trudeaus government.
Good assumption, maybe get some facts next time. If the provincial government says they don't want it then Trudeau agrees with them.
Canada needs a leadership change, there's no way this country will last long if it continues like this
Been hearing the same crap for 50 years and our country is still here. 🙄

Pierre now has to fight the house speaker on top of Justin. I so can't wait for the election.
GASLIGHTER!!
CANADIANS WAKE UP! Get rid of this Trudeau now!
Vancouver is a mess, it’s gotten way worse since the decriminalization.
Almost everyone in British Columbia doesn't want this it doesn't work. Don't expect either government to be voted in
Why can't Trudeau just say No we are not going to remove their decision? Why is Trudeau talking about Alex Jones which has nothing to do with this topic?
uh, we, uh, will continue, uh, to uh, say, uh....
Why does global and ctv news shut down comments you dont see that on other news site please explain
If Global News shut down comments, i wouldn’t be able to read yours now. What are you talking about?
Because they are paid by Trudeau and told what to say and not to say
Do the Portugal model imo. Send people to rehab.🏴🇨🇦
If people weren’t poor because of capitalism they’d be much less likely to turn to drugs in the first place.
They do in Alberta. Great suggestion - should be implemented across Canada
Who will pay for that? We already can’t get health care for the ppl who actually pay taxes and don’t rob everybody.
Rehab is good, problem is it can take over a year to get in and most addicts give up in the process…
@@DJDinnerPlaTe so? We tax payer fund drugs and let them do it in playgrounds?

The BC NDP & fed NDP&liberals giving away free drugs.
Is act of looniness’
I’m 100% ready to vote ☑️ ASAP !!!
Poilievre !! For PM
Get rid of that dummy premier as well, it'll be much better off
Is anyone here ACTUALLY concerned about diagalon? Literally anyone?
Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh have blood on their hands: 2,500 Canadians in British Columbia are dead due to overdose. Great job Justin!!
Stop Blaming the government 🇨🇦
Absolutely, let's stop blaming the government for an opioid epidemic that was fueled by pharmaceutical company greed. There's ample documentation on this issue, so I encourage you to use your keyboard warrior skills to educate yourself before making assertions.
Peiree please ask Trudeau why are we funding unwr@ while it’s still under investigation by oios and why we are funding I.R.G.C
I'm in BC now.EVERY CITY is full of crackheads and Crime.
Actually, I wouldn't mind, if drug use is criminalized nationwide. In Alberta, peace and safety are totally gone because of drugs everywhere. In rental buildings, on the streets, bus stations, and all over in every city. I am honestly, considering leaving the country for good because of that reason ⁉️ Many citizens that I know, have fled the country for the same reason ❗Mr. Trudeau, has always have my vote. However, I need to see some changes before I vote for him again ⁉️
Changes big changes Canada is in serious danger 😢 election now please 🇨🇦
So now you apologize for being a slow learner? 😅
It is bad all over. Criminalize hard drugs.
Trudeau and the Libs look so pathetically desperate to try and label Pierre as racist. And he didn’t lobby Alex Jones for his support. It’s a total stretch
Move this policy where it belongs……..Ottawa! Whack job will not do this so I say Toronto should be the next logical choice? No?
This is beyond ridiculous. It's not a difficult thing to answer, and deflection won't fix it.
SHAME ON YOU TRUDEAU, SHAME.
This is the pandemic. Not COVID.
True!!!!
Yes recriminilize PUBLIC drug use.
Why would a prime minister legalize them to begin with. And you have no right to dictate what free people do in the privacy of their own homes .
2024 they are debating whether drugs should be allowed hahaha I never asked to live in this era....
It's strange how dysfunctional the system is. Unless that is a function of the system.
Please recriminalize this now. Not just keep 'working', do it now. And do not allow this in Toronto.
Disgusting it's in Ontario too. Sick.
He just wants to legalize more drugs so he can legally smoke up... lol
Why cant they work together. Trudooe is so painfully full of himself he never admits any fault wrong doing or anything
The leader of the opposition has been politely asking the same question to the PM over and over again. Very professional and calm in his request for an answer from the PM. The PM is the one who is not providing an answer to a yes or no question. The PM continues to beat around the bush.
POILIEVRE: Will you recriminalize drug, mister Wack......I mean mister Trudeau ?
We the straight people in bc no longer want to walk our drug infested streets .
Public safety?
This is a health issue. This guy doesn't even care about trying to save lives. Is he going to pony up cash for treatment facilities and personnel or is this just a political game? This fool has no policy or platform, only slogans.
Get off the diagalon wagon already , you pick something and go on and on and on
And LIL PP doesn't.
Thank you Justin for helping Canadians with disability. Cannibis has been a miracle drug for thousands of Canadians.
Were is security in bc and why

Canadians are not concerned about poliievre . We love him and hate you. You continue to lie about Pierre
Just because it exists, doesn't mean you should do it.
Oh here we go more smearing of Poilievre
Hey everyone, instead of blindly allowing PP to pull the strings of your emotions why not read up a little on the subject.
Decriminalisation of heroin and other hard drugs has allowed addicts to be treated as patients. Users can seek help and are supported.
Just try for a moment to turn off your emotional reactions to things and think critically. (I know Pierre hates when his followers do this, but try). If you remove the criminal element in something you take away the organized crime system's control of it. Think of prohibition and the criminalization of alcohol, Al Capone, money and violence, all that. Not a problem with a proper control over liquor sales and decriminalisation of it.
Also the decriminalisation was towards possession of small amounts, not smoking crack in public. This has probably happened but Im sure it's rare. People will be addicts and die from OD whether its decriminalized or not. Statistically actually less will injuristictions with decriminalisation in place.
Good grief.
Fear mongering? Live in a city where drug use is legal pretty much everywhere. It is a nightmare.
Please do this- my clinic opened a safe site in Calgary in a top notch facility under the NDP, it is now covered in graffiti, druggie and homeless lay about in the sidewalks and in the washrooms, urine is all you'll smell outside, trash all about.
It has gotten so bad they closed three entrances years ago, so now there is only one due to security concerns.
It has only become a magnet for the homeless, the junkies, and criminality for the area to save the feckless.
Pity the people who own property close by.
Ask jagmeat what he thinks….
The name, Wacko was way off "base", it's better to go with Cracko.
It's hard to hear the PM speak.
They are allowed to do drugs in parks and then nod out while standing. This happens over and over and eventually they have to walk around with there back in a horizontal position.
Outside there headquarters. Comes first degree. Ill need less then that. Single digits
What about the compassion to the tax payers? Between the NDP and Ask Wellness they have destroyed BC.
Barretts wife . Almost went almond. let her go
JT only decriminalized drugs in BC after being pressured to by the Association of Chiefs of Police.
After yesterday's yelling match, they're both for sure on their chill pills. 😂😂
on another note it looks like another liberal speaker of the house is in hot water.
get rid of the drugs and add computers and videogames
The rise is daily OD deaths is a problem across North America. BC should look to quash that pilot project but doing that will not change the number of deaths by overdose.
The faces behind him seem to indicate a realization that they know they are again on the wrong side of the issue
What a punk of PM we have in Canada.
4 Albertans overdose everyday
6 a day in BC
the simplicity of this problem is actually very simple. Live within the law or leave canada.
Why are they all wearing flowers?
Those gosh darn Opiod Academics
You can’t fix stupid!!
Agree however thats place of ppl to be teated like all of us but what s the rules to cut this off i mean drugs stteets ect
Why the idea is small ?
makes sense since his father was fidel castro
An approach of compassion? People killing themselves on streets in every city. Needles and drug covered tin foil in parks and playgrounds across the province. Ive seen people with pools of lighter fluid on fire inches from their tents and umbrellas with dozens of people walking right by a block and a half from new west police station. Thats a warped form of compassion. It breaks my heart.
What is this guy doing? How is giving out free drugs and not penalize it help the country in any way?
how do you appoint a liberal to a non partisan position?
Live with a drug addict and try to get them off drugs or alcohol it’s almost impossible maybe live with a few and you can see my point I’m talking to the politicians
YES OR NO?
Someone clarify. Is doing hard drugs legal in public?? I definitely won't agree with that.
Sure, if someone needs rehab, they might smoke up to desensitize from the drug but doing it at public... not condoned.
What a weasel
Its amazing that we're living in the time of having to endure, by far the worst Prime Minister Canada has ever had!
The important denotation to take from this is looking at Pierrres wording. He's looking to keep hospitals, parks, and transit safer for people. Its not a complete reversal. Just more indepth regulation
Pierre Poilievre definitely has my vote, I love common sense ❤️
This is wackeau!
