"Doomed for death and destruction": Pierre Poilievre on BC drug decriminalization pilot program
Vložit

- It was a big week for British Columbia in Canada's capital, with the spotlight on B.C.'s drug decriminalization pilot in the House of Commons.
B.C.’s three-year drug decriminalization pilot project became a hot topic last week when Premier David Eby requested the Criminal Code exemption be modified to allow police to intervene in illicit public drug use once again.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was ejected from the House of Commons on Tuesday for refusing to withdraw and apologize for saying it is a “wacko policy from a wacko prime minister.”
Global BC's Richard Zussman spoke with Pierre Poilievre about his thoughts on drug policy, safe supply diversion and bail reform for violent offenders.

I live in BC, I am sick of seeing what looks like someone dead on a bus stop.
Me too
I work in Williams lake and it is prevalent and sad.
Well, I got news for you, buddy. It’s happening all over Canada and Pierre is not the answer
It's called diversification of safe supply 🤔 under liberal compassion
@@brucecameron4694 so you want to keep with Trudumb? seriously!
Say what you want, but Pierre Poilievre is absolutely correct. BC must reverse course, and Toronto must never allow this stupid program to come into their city. It's bloody ridiculous.
Can I say that I don’t see anything about how many prisons we will need to build or judges we will need to hire or admin staff necessary to implement Pierre’s fantasy?
Seems like a lot of virtue signalling to me
@@rhetorical1488 Sure. But remember Pierre says he will cut $1 for every $1 he spends.
So, we can’t evaluate whether this is a good idea until we know what it costs and what we give up.
Last time they cut something, they cut $1 billion from Veterans Affairs.
Incidentally, Alberta has 5 less overdose deaths per 100,000. And that’s a UCP government in charge with no hard drug decriminalization.
You’d think that would be the model… but no. Why does Pierre never talk about that?
@@rhetorical1488 How is that relevant to what Pierre is offering?
As for Harper, he wouldn’t be allowed to serve in Pierre’s Cabinet based on the fact he attended and believed in the WEF. Pierre is selling a conspiracy theory on that one. Weird, eh? Harper not allowed in his Cabinet?
Also weird, John Baird, WEF speaker and member is Pierre’s Campaign Chair.
@@McLovin1759 If you will recall during the Harper years he had a similar thing in place, which actually deterred crime because they knew they would be going to jail and not be let out on bail. Crime actually went way down and there was no extra strain on the prison system at all.
@@Maximum_Exposure_ How’s the drug problem in Alberta? There is no decriminalization there. UCP has been in charge for years.
FYI… they have 5 less overdose deaths per 100,000 than BC. And have just set a record in 2023 for highest number of overdoses.
well I will be damned the first honest thing Global has done in 5 years.
If you truly believe that then you need to reset your algorithms by clearing your histories and caches bc you're most likely not being shown the full picture...
Not by any fault of your own or theirs for that matter even
Algorithms tend to feed you more of what you have previously given attention even to where it doesn't actively show you different perspectives from those you have previously watched...
It's a perfect example of why catering to what is assumed people want should never take priority over making sure to provide them with what they need lol... even the parts we may not necessarily want in the moment lol
Perfect.
Polievre is irresponsibly misinforming about the facts where 85% of the 2500 people died because of fentanyl. Regulated supply is there to stop fentanyl deaths.
They see the writing on the wall and are trying to save thier jobs before the conservatives get in
@@hamr61 Correct, even cbc is lightening up slightly. lol
how can they smoke drugs in places where you cannot smoke tobacco
Right? The country has gone nuts.
Because it is bc government!
If that tattooed up Dr. Prescribed the drug it makes it legal.
Exactly Victorzubowski
A lot of them don't care about others, a lot of bus stops I've been to are designated as "No Smoking" zones with a $200 fine for smoking, people will still do it.
You need serious help if you think we should resolve this opioid crisis by giving addicts more drugs
You are brain dead if you think you can save people that have died from taking contaminated drugs.
Right because jailing them has been SO successful the last few decades.
@@raynwolfsbane2084 lol - at least it is better than the substantial increase number of overdose death (3 times more since decriminalization) and the spike of all the drug-related crimes. By the way, those "safe-supply" are tax-funded.
@@raynwolfsbane2084did you even listen? Nobody is sending anyone to jail. Giving out opioids is insanity. The money being spent on this can be redirected to healthy ways to help,people GET OFF drugs not stay on them.
@@hamlo8884 overdoses and increased addiction have to do with 2 major events.
1). Pharma companies hiding data on addiction
2). US government and Afghanistan drug lord agreement resulting in political support in exchange for not stopping export. Afghanistan now supplies approx 80% of the world’s opium.
You need to think it through. If the addicts are using safe supply that isn’t laced with fentanyl and other chemicals, they wouldn’t be dying.
It’s the lack of use of safe supply that is killing them.
I liked this video for the simple fact that Global News actually interviewed Pierre Poilievre.
What about questions like...Would Pierre sell more of Canada to China? Will he sell our national debt to them? They invited China into our judicial system by giving them the right to sue Canada, encouraging election interference, so these are valid questions. How does Pierre justify the free vacation he accepted from China to ensure conservatives "trade deal". Saying, "things will be different" under him only means he'll go back to his old ways.
Conservatives were guilty of Contempt of Parliament. He should explain that.
He encouraged violence when he posed with people breaking the law, but claims to be against crime.
Conservatives sent innocent people to countries where they KNEW they'd be tortured. It cost Canada multi millions because of the CRIME they committed.
The door to Canada will be wide open to criminal acts under conservative rule. WACKO Pierre supported India more than Canada when he said Trudeau was too much trouble.
@jaygray7102 You make some excellent points. Particularly, your observation that "He encouraged violence when he posed with people breaking the law but claims to be against crime." Pierre does often tout his tough-on-crime stance and his willingness to use the notwithstanding clause if elected. He once remarked in an interview about a convicted murderer, "he will stay behind bars and only come out in a box" when asked how many times he would invoke section 33. Not someone I'd like as Canada's PM.
wow, a civilized journalist... i gave this a like!
@@jaygray7102 that’s a misinformation and a disinformation - 8 out of 10 families … the head of diagolon himself posted a video saying he had no ties to Pierre or anything else. Get your facts straight.
AND he answered the questions he was asked!!!
I live in Victoria BC and had to take someone downtown to the Ministry od Social Development office. We had to walk through a row of addicts smoking meth/crack!! I kept the baby with me while she had to walk through that, into the office by herself. SINGLE MOTHERS WITH THEIR CHILDREN have to visit that office. THIS IS BEYOND UNACCEPTABLE.
Well, I think any country that supports Netanyahu and his war criminals is beyond acceptable but then the drug addicts are killing themselves. If they stopped wasting tax dollars on maintaining 13 separate municipal governments, they might have more tax dollars to do something with the drug addicts. See anyone looking to see how other countries deal with drug addicts since they don't have a clue on how to do it here.
That doesn't sound correct- most will announce "kid / child on block" and make invisible any sign of use....
Well said P P ! Cull the drugs and their dealers ! So....even the interviewer is subverted by Trudeau's radical political agenda !
Everyone is in agreement it's not an acceptable situation. What is the solution though? Remember those are people too, with families and people who love them.
Good morning!
Coffee?
I'm an immigrant of 20yrs in Canada, the country has gone massively downhill under Trudeau.
I truly believe our only chance is to elect Pierre in a massive majority.
Did Trudeau let YOU into the country? He obviously made a BIG mistake.
Hmmmm....how? Why do you believe Poliviere is the solution?
I don't believe Poliviere is a good alternative, I think we should continue with Trudeau... Keep in mind that life is hard due to inflation, housing problems, poor health care system, and other economic problems.
But not everything is on Trudeau, provincial governments, municipalities, global economic situation....they have their share of responsibilities.
Actually, I think Trudeau is doing an amazing job, is not easy to run a country !
No you are wrong no more Trudeau. @@mehrad2342
@mehrad2342 Poilievre has plans to create incentive for local governess to get things done. Trudeau gives them money if they don't do anything.
Trudeau is definitely the worst PM Canada has ever seen, PE Trudeau was just as bad for Canada 🇨🇦
As a woman and immigrant myself, came here with my family at the age of 7 years old… it’s been really bad since Trudeau came to power, in 2010 our dollar was on par with US dollar, now its below 75c. Housing affordability and crime are my biggest concerns. I will never vote for Liberals or NDP again!
Hire back all the trained nurses the NDP fired! Let's start with that....
4300 here in never never eby land still out of work !
Yes!!!!!!
@@macbump and rehire others that were FORCED to step down soon after hireing nurses back
This is an excellent interview - I hope 41M Canadians watch this and listen very close
I listened closely, hopefully you did as well and can see through the lies and nonsense.
Well, one person's opinion remains an opinion although I bought a load of pet rocks and I haven't been able to sell any but then maybe they weren't listening to my sales pitch ?
@@rh7163maybe you should teach it some tricks other than “stay here, don’t move”
I was thinking the same thing. I hope all Canadians watch this and see that Pierre Poilievre is a liar and will say anything to achieve power. He repeats the same talking points ad nauseam, he relies on attacking his opponent instead of standing on the merit of his own platform, and any person with common sense can see that there is zero substance to his plans, it’s just words to rile people up. Anyone with any sense in their head knows that this is exactly what snakeoil salesmen do. Pierre is NOT worthy of the seat of PM! Trudeau has proven that he is NOT worthy of the seat of PM. Jagmeet Singh is NOT worthy of the seat of PM. Canada needs another option. Because voting for any of these three is not going to improve the lives of the average Canadian citizen. Mark my words under Poilievre the rich will get richer and the poor will suffer. Oh and the middle class will be become poor. The push to a two class society will continue with a Con govt.
Well said P P ! Cull the drugs and their dealers ! So....even the interviewer is subverted by Trudeau's radical political agenda !
The only reason B.C. doesn't have enough nurses is they won't hire them back.
💯
And they will leave in droves because of this nonsense.
Well hopefully when the Conservatives get in power. Pierre said he will get those medical staff there jobs back.
I needed a QR code to volunteer at the hospital! No wonder they're so short staffed! I want everyone to remember this while waiting 11 hrs for care in the ER
@dorothydejager9301 Healthcare is a provincial matter, so it's up to the province. People in BC can vote for the Conservative party of BC this October.
It would be much better to fund more affordable rehab facilities than to give free drugs.
The treatment center I just went to had a $34,000 bill for 45 days.
Rehab saved a close friend of mine who now thrives in life.
You are so right, Just PP is not offering to add funding to the Provincial Healthcare. He is said he would do th opposite and defund the system.
@@ght33 Ill take Pierre any day over the NDP or Liberals, anyone still supporting those parties is untrustworthy and a traitor to Canadians.
BC is trying to do both, build treatment centers after the previous "Liberal/Conservative" government closed them in favor of for profit private facilities, And save lives until there built.
Eby and Trudeau need to go.

Eby has done good work, don’t confuse him with BCNDP under Horgan.
Only landlords and corporates dislike Eby.
On federal Level Pierre needs to win though
Pierre you've got this, don't change a thing, Canadian's believe in you and the Conservative Party and Canadian's have never been more determined to end this current rogue government and we will, in record number's, with a Conservative Majority Government 👏👏👏👏👏
He’s saying all the right things. I hope he follows through
count me out
He got his wings clipped in parliament the other day & it seems now his light is dimmed. His demeanor in this interview was nearing "wet mop" status. I & most people I know, like him for his quick wit & confidence.. this didn't have any of that. 🤔
I don't. Buddies full of poo, all talk and no plans at all.
@@pt4685 Serious topic, not a faqing used car ad.
I live in BC and when schools are going on lockdown because drug addicts are coming in weilding knives and creating chaos, we have a problem. Burning buildings down, taking peoples livelihoods away from them, we have a problem. Our children becoming desensitized to seeing someone overdosing on the street, it is just now a normal day to day thing they see, we have a problem. We can't keep going down this path...a change is needed.
Stand up to vote out David NDp who does not protect our children and our communities, only talk about giving free drugs to drug addicted and give profits to drug dealers that why we see BC has much more crime. Drug dealers love to live in BC for business
Tip of the "problem" iceberg
Sorry, but where in bc did any of those things happen? Mainly, I'm curious about the addicts in a school with wepons? Can you post a link? That is very concerning, and I'd like to get more info on that.
@@heartfirst6405 Well said P P ! Cull the drugs and their dealers ! So....even the interviewer is subverted by Trudeau's radical political agenda !
Now people from B.C ,I hope you think before you vote NDP again. Please 🙏
Not likely.
I hope you can see through PP -he doesn't have a clue what he is talking about when it comes to addiction. Under PP the death rate will go up. He thinks he knows more than the experts, very arrogant. For example-decrim is not killing anyone-toxic drugs are and have been for the past 9-10 years. He's right, the data is in and he's wrong.
@@debbailey2914 oh my what a ludicrous comment, are you a bot?
@@debbailey2914is this one of trudopes paid advertisements to spread liberal delusions..
With all due respect the "experts" are wrong! I live in downtown Vancouver and I see firsthand every day the complete chaos and disorder that is the result of "harm reduction". Its NOT working and it never will. There are more addicts here than ever before and people are still dying of overdose regardless of these harm reduction policies! Also the crime that has resulted from these policies is astronomical! I don't know where these "experts" get their facts from but they are not based in reality from what I have seen and experienced living here in Vancouver and I've lived here for 20+ years! These so called "experts" don't know what they are talking about IMO.
Has Global asked Jagmeet for his position in decriminalized hard drugs in NDP BC? Should be instantly revealing about what side of the fence he really sits. That, to me would be interesting news.

Yesterday, I rode my bicycle in Toronto Downtown. I saw many people acting like nuts consuming drugs right in front of me. Toronto Downtown looks like third world city with crime every where.
Vancouver is worse.
Victoria is catching up to Vancouver. Pretty disgraceful. These people need help to heal not enabling.
U wont see a scenario like this in any Asian cities nor middleeast or any in sensible countries first,second or third world..This is the third world style in a so called first world country
Calgary is getting really nasty also not safe to ctrain anywhere anymore
They have killed the downtown Toronto area. I can't believe people high and homeless milling around all over the place.
I don't even want to get out if my car down there. Night time is especially scary
We’ve never been to Victoria. We visited it a couple of weeks ago and spent a couple of days downtown. The druggies downtown were disturbing and takes away from what I believe is a place Canada should be proud of. We probably won’t go back.
And it was like that decades ago too.
I'm not sure where you're from or how often you get out but this problem isn't an isolated problem and it well may become a problem in your neck of the woods. From Mexico to San Diego, to San Francisco, to Portland and Seattle the problem has been bigger than the ones in Vancouver and Victoria although somebody thought the border would stop the problems from showing up in Canada. If you doubt what I'm saying feel free to take a trip to the East Coast and get a clue on what is going on with the drug problems there.
As a born Victorian, I am disgusted with downtown
I can remember more than 30 yrs ago Victoria was once for just retired people, there was no trash over there.
God Bless Mr. Poilievre for fighting for common sense drug reform. The drug epidemic in London Ontario is unbelievable. This isn’t the Canada of 10 years ago.
It is every where. Backwards thinking has led to this. They are reversing lax drug laws in the U.S. as well. Oregon is reversing decriminalizationit as that State has been destroyed as well as so many more over the continent..
Make no mistake, Poilievre is just another Conservative who has corporate interests in mind and the word salad is nothing more than something to swallow in order to get elected. Nobody wondering what happens when an oil pipeline blows and oil becomes a problem for British Columbia rivers, streams and whatever life is in them before it all winds up on the coastline. Alberta produces the oil, everyone else assumes the risks while some opportunist spews on in order to get it done.

A major protest happened in Vancouver today over affordable housing. Canadians are waking up! Finally. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦👍👍👍❤️
Housing is provincial jurisdiction Premiers are to blame! Housing geared to income again is a provincial jurisdiction! Federal Government is not to blame for the Housing issue! Premiers sold out the people who need affordable housing! In Ontario Ford took off rent control on purpose built rentals built after 2018! That caused a huge disparity in rents for lower middle class and minimum wage earners to afford rent!
@@erniejohnston401 What do you mean that Ford took off rent control? If it's what i think it means, that landlords can just charge market rent and make a big increase in rent when someone moves, rather than hav it percentage controlled by year. That was lifted decades ago. I don't like Ford, but don't think that was his doing.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 Any rental unit built after Nov. 15, 2018, is not subject to provincial rent control.
@@martinutr Ok. Does that mean they can jack the rent, even if a tenant hasn't moved, and rent isn't subject to nominal increases like it used to be?
Thank you Pierre for having a voice for mental health (addiction), health care, general public, crimes….ripple effect. It’s refreshing to have a Canadian leader that is for healing mental health not feeding it with drugs. Prescription drugs are very addictive and many families have endured hardship with this. Thank you for common sense caring :). BC VOTE COMMON SENSE CONSERVATIVES FOR HOPE! AXING THE TAX! BUILDING HOMES! JAIL TIME FOR CRIME! FREEDOM!!
Just not the freedom to use drugs PP deems icky. How many bills has he supported to increase mental health care funding again?
@@raynwolfsbane2084 hi TROLL! if you listened to the interview... once again REHAB!
@@chelseagirl278 yea and even he was stumped with the question of where the nurses are going to come from, or where the money will come from. Or completely silent on the main issue driving addiction, homelessness.
Ya, he's the next messiah with all the answers but hold off with the thanks until he has enough time to pass his magic wand and eliminate all the issues before the next decade passes by with a bigger deficit for somebody else to deal with.
I finally feel like watching Global if this continues-this felt more like news and reporting!! Actually talking/interviewing without some sort of media agenda. We the listener could be informed and make our own decisions about core concerns in our country.
The problem is bigger than usage and rehab. The society as a whole has gone down hill as has the government. Dog eat dog, every person for themselves. Homeless and addicts on the streets are just a visible symptom of the underlying spiritual issue. Loss of hope. Nobody wants to be homeless or addicted. Corruption and wickedness is heart condition. It permeates society at all levels. Unfortunately those on the bottom suffer and perish first.
I agree, it goes deeper. There is no connection to family, friends, society, etc…everybody’s stressed, fed up and losing hope of a better future. And nobody gives a crap about you. Not even your own family helps you in times of need. This is just wrong
But we got to start changing things to get back on track. I believe, out of all the candidates Pierre is the best for the country to get back on track.
@@PittontheMoveIf you want Canada to look like the States, you’d be right. Go back to how PP was talking a decade ago, before they started to work hard on rehabilitating his image, he was a lot like Trump. That guy is still in there, he has just been coached and polished for public presentation.🖤🇨🇦

Upon return....no communication in between....and seeing my dramatic mental health decline , my mother asked what was up and i mentioned how i'd felt abandoned at a time i needed help most. Her reply, "i have a life you know"...to which i replied "yes, i understand, but when you chose to have a kid, that kid is also part of your life."
I gotta be honest, living in Vancouver, I figured decriminalizing drugs was kind of a moot point. People already used openly and recklessly. But now you can literally walk down a street covered in vape level clouds of drug smoke just flowing through the air.
It got worse. It’s a miracle of epic proportions in all of the worst ways imaginable. But this actually made the DTES worse. It’s a weird issue because regardless of one’s politics, most people have always been pretty on board with not being able to smoke crack in a kids park.
Strange times we are living in.
Oregon also did this decriminalization experiment in the USA and it was a complete disaster.
It's worked in other countries!
I have been watching all Pierre debates in the parliament since 2020. So, he is the only person who deserves to be the Canadian PM.
Much like American politics, the choices are dismal or worse and its hard to say which is which but no doubt somebody will try and spin enough word salad to convince you one way or another.
I used to work for a homeless shelter and in my city (we have 3 main male shelters and many smaller female shelters, it was contemplated in 2008-09 by the local and provincial government which also had the BC government coming to our city speaking of the wonders of "safe injection sites etc". At the time, as I was counselling the homeless and helping them to get off the street, I said it was a bad idea. Enabling an addict is the worst form of abuse any organization can have on a society.
So sad. Ty for sharing.
Any of the "safe injection sites" I've seen come and go here in Nanaimo BC (run apparently by private groups & funded by governments) have eventually become open places for dealers. They sit there all day selling dope and buying or trading the addicts "safe supply" from them. A real live fact, I've known people that used to go to them.
I see it almost every day, drug addicts doing drugs in the pathway leading to my local soccer fields. Children playing soccer can see this and its wrong on several levels. This is what is happening in BC.
This what happens when your province vote ndp for years on end.
@distanttraveler6531 The NDP was voted in during the last election. Before them, it was the greedy liberals. The liberals have changed their name to 'BC United' in the hope people will think they are something new. That leaves the Conservative party of BC my only logical choice this October.
@@distanttraveler6531 First term NDP. The liberals (BC United) were running things (badly, greedy) before that.
I see it everywhere every time I'm outside.
Maybe it's time to be an adult and have conversations with our kids about such topics rather than perpetuating the issues ... I know it's hard to talk with people but listen to your comment. More than likely those people are seeking an area that is out of public view- more than likely they aren't aware of their being able to see tthem...in fact, they are trying to bee respectful and be out f the public view/ prying eye- imagine that eh? A simple, non confrontational, "hey guys/gals, just wanted to let you know that the kids playing soccer can see you all " What works is providing an alternate location- be a leader..."i know a spot that is more private just around the way at.....you know, for the kids and all" but keep it very general and neutral.....no one likes orders barked at them...i am sure you wouldn't. I bet you, that scene will be the last.....
Decriminalizing in a society that still held values of responsibility and accountability MIGHT work...but we have a society now in which no one's bad choices result in any external consequence. So--sadly--thousands let themselves drift to the very worst potential of their life, knowing someone or some group will keep them alive (food, clothes, a tent). EVERYONE needs guidelines and boundaries to succeed in life!
Which is why we need to criminalize alcohol and cigarettes. They kill way more people than street drugs and we can't have that nonsense about freedom get in the way of our police state.

I called the police on Wednesday this week to report what appeared to be an overdose adjacent to the main road leading toward the border crossing to the USA in Cornwall, Ontario. A man of middle age in clean clothes and without any sign of homelessness was laying on the sidewalk with both hands grasping his head and covering his eyes, he was rocking back and forth on the ground. There was no way to stop my car without blocking traffic so I pulled over at a car wash about 800 meters up the road and called the police. After waiting through 5 or 6 minutes of recorded bilingual options, and another several minutes listening to a self-stroking speech about government and police DEI initiatives and objectives, a human woman came on the line. I barely got to inform her what I was calling about when she cut me off and said she would transfer me to the ambulance. After waiting on what sounded like dead air for several minutes, another woman came on the line. I once again described the issue and the location. This second woman had no clue of the location; apparently they don't have google maps at the ambulance service. It turns out, she was in Ottawa, an hour away, not in Cornwall. She indicated she had to ask me over a dozen questions I informed her I could not answer as I was 800 meters from the person in distress- that took another minute and a half, maybe two. So, the citizen possibly dying in the street waited while our laughably inept government figured out how to use the alleged automated reporting system costing untold hundreds, of millions of taxpayer dollars. The entire process took 10 minutes...next time I will call 911 and see if that circus performs better. I am not optimistic though, the only time I had to call that line, after being pursued by an aggressive driver trying to literally force me into a ditch, they told me 'it was no big deal'. Your government loathes you citizens, were it not for your wallets they would not give you the time of day.
That is unbelievable.
911 is outsourced everywhere. I had to call it in Pembroke Ontario. I don't know where the central office really was, but it sure wasn't in Pembroke. They had no idea of our town or streets either.
Bet it took more than 10 minutes to invent this story and type it out of CZcams...
Why did you call the police? And not ambulabulance services in the first place? Was a crime being committed? No...

Thank you Pierre Poilievre , I love common sense, I love Canada too 🇨🇦 ❤
Oregon's decriminalization of drugs failed miserably and now they are telling us here in Canada NOT to repeat their biggest mistake with this form of legislation!!
Anyone with half a brain knew this was doomed from the start. Handing out free drugs to addicts was a death sentence. Treatment and support during recovery from drug use ,like any other addiction is the only hope.
It’s downright inhumane. Addicts can’t say NO, that is why it’s called addiction.
I live in BC and there is a tug of war for 1st. responders, between public emergencies and drug users. Our health care is stressed enough without the added risk of source exposure.
yeah my thoughts exactly
If you live in BC you would know seeing a doctor is a tug of war and you may wind up dying in the Hospital Emergency before you get to see one. As for the Walk In Clinics, most of them are closed or accepting no new clients but then it takes a few days to get a doctor to call you back to get a prescription refill. Let's pretend the doctors aren't leaving for greener pastures and our Health Care is going to get a whole lot worse before the stress leaves.
We need to do what Afghanistan does with their drug rehabilitation it is like being in jail they round them up off the streets and they can't leave until they are well ,not like ours check in and leave when you feel like it
So they give them medicine there to wean them off the addiction? Would be nice if they did that here.
@@Jabler-we have methadone programs here. But no…I am sure they are given no medicine. They are probably tossed in a cell and left to detox.
And they have one of the highest opioid addiction rates for all their efforts
Plane tickets to Afghanistan would cost less
New Prime Minister Pierre Poilievre ❤🙏🛡
Might be time to gather at the river and celebrate with somebody getting baptized or reborn. New PM to make Canada Great again.
Best Talk Ever. Thank You Global for the great Interview. Pierre that was what we needed thank you. Much Appreciation...
I'm conservative party member And I support Pierre Poilievre!
God bless you, Ahmad.
I don't
I don’t either
💯%
I support Pierre all the way
it's an extension of the liberal MAID program
That’s my first global news LIKE in a long time. Let’s see more Pierre. He can answer a questions, speak without yelling and has a profound dislike for Trudeau.
What is going on with the people of this beautiful country it's a sad state.
agreed, so many drinking the skinny Trump koolaid

That crap should’ve never been legalized including pot!!!
Exactly let's hope 40's and younger are paying attention
Pot is far less harmful then alcohol and the only reason it became illegal was because of DuPont and Hemp. In Canada the government was paid 30K to make it illegal back in the 1930's I believe.
Dot loves Big Government authoritarianism and prohibition. None of that pesky freedom for us!
Nothing wrong with pot, conservatives should have just legalized it back in 2015; now we had a train wreck of a government for 9 years.
I was all for legalizing pot (even tho I don’t use it myself) but I had no idea their plan was to extend it to all drugs which absolutely insane.
Make methadone programs actually ween people down and off. There are people who have been getting government methadone for thirty years.
And selling it on the streets
Living on disability in a subsidized apartment too. I've seen so much of this.
Address the root causes of addiction, and that will work, if you don’t, the addiction will continue.🖤🇨🇦
Yep, I have a brother in law whose been on methadone for decades. He does all sorts of drugs on the side as well. Even though he does periodic urine tests, they keep letting him pass and listening to his excuses. He should have been kicked off a long time ago. I don't mind tax funding the initial program and letting the addicts do a redo or so, because relapses happen. If you want to stay on it long term, the freebie should be over and you pay for it yourself.
@@tamarrajames3590 That seems to be what is missing in most of these threads here. Addressing the root cause of addiction is the first step and pillar.
I live 30mins away from downtown east side in Vancouver. It’s sickening to see what poverty and drugs are doing to our brothers and sisters. Feeding these folks more drugs isn’t the answer. They need help and a way out of the hell hole.
This was so good to see!! ❤ Much better way for the news and the message!
Pierre is the real thing. He genuinely cares about Canadians. Anybody voting for anyone else needs to get off their drugs.
LOL
He's a real career politician whose lived off the government tit his whole adult life lol
@@raynwolfsbane2084, versus whom? The Blackface never ending scandals, or the guy who props him up while complaining about everything their bride does?
Pierre has never had a real job and doesn't understand drug use himself
@@Jabler- , and what do you do for a living? One thing about Pierre is he understands parliament. Plus he has common sense.
Bonnie Henry has done more damage, and caused more harm than any other health care professional in the history of BC.
I just hate Activist Journalists. Give back the money and get out of Canada. China will welcome you.
AnY jOurnAliSt whO doEsn'T LiKe Pp iS aN aCtIvIst (sounds very Chinese in your hatred of critical journalism).
Oh, come now, surely you haven't self limited yourself to active journalists ? How about active lobbyists who waste corporate dollars to sway the politicians with their Christmas wish lists ? As for China, they execute drug dealers, any thoughts on what Canada does with drug dealers ?
*Get rid of Bonnie Henry* Alberta was smart to get rid of her, but she crawled over to BC.
Thankyou Global for this interview.
Common sense conservatives never made more sense. Go Pierre! 🇨🇦
What ever happened to common sense in Canada and around the world
WEF
Keeping people stupid and dependent seems to be the goal
How about we take the money spent on 'safe supply' drugs and distribution and put it towards recovery? That's not even taking into account the millions spent on ODs in hospitals and thousands of police calls in relation to drug related violence and crime.
Safe supply is saving lives.
Alcohol is the worst drug of all. It affects every organ in the body but, if I choose to drink, I have access to a safe supply, from the government, that I know is not laced with fentanyl.
What would happen if we eliminate the safe supply of alcohol?
@@charleyrobertson4663 While I'm very glad that you're not risking your life every time you take drugs, I would rather support a recovery system or some other form of help for you. It's also a fact that many safe supply drugs get resold to our youth so that users can pay for stronger drugs which does much more harm to our society. I believe that addiction is an illness and should be treated as such, but I don't want my hard earned dollars to contribute to the problem anymore. Take care of yourself.
There so many lies I lost track.
Pierre has common sense that’s the difference .
Isn't it grand to wind up with all that common sense after spending so much time in Ottawa watching Harper lead ?
Just think if it weren't for Pierre Trudeau and Pierre Pollievre, we be left with no common sense or anyone to make Canada Great again ?
Took my wife and two daughters (21 and 19) to BC to celebrate my wife's 50th Birthday last week. Found a cool restaurant within walking distance from our hotel, so we stopped in. It was Sunday evening and the place was deserted. When we were seated, the waitress asked my daughters for two pieces of ID. They each produced their Ontario issued driver's license, but the waitress said she need two pieces of ID. I calmly explained that both my daughters were only having water so what's the problem, and she told me "Sir, that's BC law". We left. I think our next trip will be back to Canmore/Banff.
I 100% agree with Mr. Poilievre. He should be our Prime Minister. Trudeau always said that he wants to help the middle class family in fact Trudeau brought the middle class to poverty.
Thanks Pierre. Wow!!!
Treatment and recovery for an addict starts when he isn't labeled a criminal for drug use
Finally, somebody with a view on how things can work with enough support to make it work.
I’m from Calgary and I visited Vancouver for the first time last year. I was in awe by how many druggies were in the streets, and I didn’t suspect it because I always pictured Vancouver as a big wonderful city. My best friend wanted us to hang out again, but I told her that I didn’t want to go to Vancouver. Instead we went to Victoria which was very beautiful and had a nice ambiance, people there were very friendly and cool!
PIERRE POILIEVRE PM 2025
Not Justin B.C. it’s everywhere. New Brunswick people are doing the same things.
This is how a real leader speaks.
A real career politician lol
lying every sentence lol
@@marlenemmc2339 Pretty strong accusations. Do you care to elaborate on which sentences of Pierre's weren't true?
Or is this a CNN situation where they claimed on air that President Trump told 20,000 lies during his Presidency....but couldn't name one lie?
@@raynwolfsbane2084being a politician is a job. And it's a good one. He worked to become a politician ans he's the best in canada. He serves the canadian people. He is representing canada very well.
@@stevenjohn1470 right now he serves the people of his Ottawa riding, not the people of Canada
I live in Ottawa Ontario. downtown down the street from parliament hill rideau center. So shameful I want to just leave Ottawa so bad it's . I feel for them but yet it's like another world it's bad. I'm going to start a podcast just to prove my point. Thanks Justin
I remember when Ottawa was a quaint provincial town . Where if you didn't know someone chances are you had a common acquaintance. If people got out of hand it was a one on one scenario and the crowd would stop it if it got too serious and there was an obvious winner . People were too busy working to protest .
OMG! I was in Pizza Pizza last week downtown Ottawa on Rideau Street. A drug infused person came in half-naked, demanded pizza. He then kicked in the window from the outside. I was at the cash waiting for my slice. Trudeau has blinders on.
Hello from Saskatoon, just the other day a druggie burst into a restaurant my hubby and kid were eating at and demanded food as well. Threw a bit of a fit but eventually just left (probably because everyone just ignored him). We are getting numb to it all unfortunately:( Our shelter closed down in 2022 due to corruption and our homeless have nowhere to go:(
Not blinders.
It's purposely being done.
I live in Victoria. I don’t go downtown anymore ,it makes me ill.
Don’t know where you live but here in British Columbia. It’s exactly what’s going on.
Compassion start in detox and rehab for ours love ones who fall in drugs abuse from depression and devastation management of Canada from the Liberals/NDP coalition!
Rehab before free drugs
PP FOR PM !
❤ great interview
That is how a leader and Prime Minister acts. Pierre for Prime Minister! Enough of the Trudeau/NDP regime.
repeat the same old buzzwords, no ideas, lies and deceit. How is that any different to Trudeau?
@@jasonwilliams8016Sounds a lot like Harper… party of one.🖤🇨🇦
🙏 Pierre Poilievre 4 PM 🇨🇦
🙏Thank you Deputy CPC Leader Melissa Lantsman 🇨🇦
🙏Axe The Tax! 🙏
🙏Spike The Hike! 🙏
🙏Stop the crime! 🙏
🏠 Build the Homes 🏡
Bla The Bla!!!!
Be strong Pierre!! The LPC is the most illicit “government” we’ve ever had. If they don’t like a legitimate and valid law they simply redefine the words and carry on. Hard Drugs have always been a source of death. Canada needs to protect its citizens.
My town is seeing this happening for the last 4 years! People are ODing daily…
Thank you pierre for helping drug addicts not killing them giving them taxpaid drugs thst is so wrong
Yes because prisons have a great track record of helping addicts. It's not like criminal records for non-violent offenses lead to needless recidivism.
❤️ Go Pierre Go ❤️ Fantastic interview!! About time Global!!
Canada need the Pierre Poilievre I had a Chance for 2 timed talk to him in person in my opinion he is respectful and humble person and also he listened to my concerns about Canada and he promised to fix it, I do trust Pierre Poilievre more than Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh.
Czechia, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Switzerland are among a handful of countries where decriminalization works.
It was a pretty good interview, and it was nice to him clear the air on the "not withstanding clause" as what's being paraded around.
PP for PM! 🇨🇦
12:35 forgot trudeau purposes to loxk people under house arrest for stuff they might do and say
Friend A...brother just died from complications of drug abuse. FRIEND B.... son is now homeless from addiction. FRIEND C... teenage son's brain was fried from too many drugs. Good news is he just came out of rehab. THAT's WHERE our TAX DOLLARS should go!
You're allowed to smoke crack in public but not drink a beer? Insanity.
You're allowed to do whatever you want but sometimes you have to consider the how and where before you get caught.
wow a good fair interview from canada media
Lets regulate drunk driving lanes so the OPP doesn't have to breathalyze every broken tail light they see.
You get pulled over in the GTA for anything they wanna do a test now
Would drunks stick to those lanes? Seems to me all the accidents caused by drunk drivers would speak to the contrary.
@@deendrew36 They certainly would. All of the criminals handed in their guns.
@@scottbuckley6578 I think it is a way to collect Dna .
@@rickvervoort9536 sure they did.
Finally a real journalist that has courage to host that interview. Wow bravo!
Here is a wake up call, I live in a small town in eastern Ontario and we have a Conservative MP and Conservative MPP and homeless and drug overdoses are absolutely sky rocketing, it has become a no go zone for anyone but drug addicts. I am a Conservative, but I cannot deny that my town is completely rotten and not safe for anyone but drug addicts. I'm questioning my alliance to these enablers. Health care has completely collapsed here too, drug addicts come first in emergency rooms, they are the absolute priority of everyone and everything. All white males being led down this drug addiction path, it seems by design at this point.
When you fill a country with illegal drugs and have cartels operating here from MEXICO NO ONE SHOULD BE SURPRISED AT THESE ISUES...open borders. An enemy does not need boots on the ground to destroy our younger population. Go hard on the importers/kingpins and secure borders & ports. Every death has a deep impact on families & friends who will need support
to deal with the emotional trauma. Automatic Seizures of assets from major dealers/cartels can be put to use to support rehab. Profits are high in this business.
use in supporting rehab sites.
Pierre Poilievre is unfit to serve as Prime Minister of Canada 🇨🇦
So you think Trudeau is fit ..what a tool...another wacko
You're unfit to vote.
Gerald Butts, you said you quit.
First global video I upvote ever! Is real journalism making a comeback?
They know the gravy train is about to end and are hegdging their bets.
Pierre was right every answer was straight forward. Very smart answer.
He did not answer the question about small amounts of possession.
Just because no one else in North America is doing it does not is wrong.
He knows what everyone knows…that is NOT an answer.
It is not the regulated drugs that is causing drug deaths. It is the illicit toxic drug supply. Decriminalization does not address that. Legalization which brings controls on production and distribution does.
Decriminalization has a huge impact on the whole mess. Cops can't remove addicts who are openly using on public streets anymore. That's a huge part of the problem. Addicts can use the hardest of drugs, have over doses, commit all the crime goes w/ it and cops hands are tied. Plus the govt. uses are tax money to feed the more drugs.
