The Numbers are in on safer supply in BC:
There is NO INCREASE in opioid use disorder among minors
The number of youth who died from drug poisoning in 2023 went DOWN
The abundance of media stories about diversion to youth were prompted by ONE anecdote about a single teen, later confirmed by toxicology to have died after using cocaine & ecstacy, not from prescribed safer supply.
So, Pierre Poilievre, care to comment? You tried to make hay of this, a few times, the research proves you wrong, again, like you always are.
JB PoliSci is joining us this morning, we shall discuss this & so much more...
Fri, Feb 2, 2024, Here, We, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Well, hel-looo, Kits ‘n’ Kubs!
On Episode 48 of The True North Eager Beaver Interview Project (aka Episode 309 of The Daily Beaver Morning Show), we welcome fellow political junkie J.B., from Canadian Politics 101, to The Beaver Lodge for a total geek out session during which we speak of: the fear of losing loved ones to disinformation; inconsistency; Québec politics; climate change politics; housing; platforms vs plans; our Premiers being the real problem; a potential rift in the conservative movement; the Newfoundland and Labrador by-election result; Mayor Olivia Chow; exploiting crime; and Basic Income.
Find J.B. on his YouTube page [https://www.youtube.com/@CanadianPoli101], his Xitter feed [@cdnpoli101], and Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/cdnpoli101].
The Daily Beaver Morning Show is broadcast LIVE (most of the time), weekdays at 7-ish a.m. Eastern. Our take on the news is the purrr-fect thing for busy Kits who are on-the-go who want to stay engaged.
Until next time, be kind to — and gentle with — yourselves,
Your Eager Beaver and Mr. Grizzly

Not everyone can do everything. But everyone can do something. Because #DemocracyIsSomethingYouDo...
Write to your MP, MPP, MLA, MNA, Senator, or preferred local media outlet to tell them you expect them to dig deep into the Doug Ford corruption story as well as indicted-in-the-USA-for-trying-to-steal-an-election Mike Roman's links to Stephen Harper and Andrew Scheer. And tell them you want better supports for people struggling with mental illness and addiction.
With the current strain on our health care professionals, do the right neighbourly thing to keep our hospitals unclogged: get your XBB, flu, pneumonia, and / or RSV shots.
Finally, support your fellow Canadians by donating to the Red Cross Wildfire Response. _________________________________________________
