Opioid crisis: Are Canada’s ‘safe supply’ drugs being used in organized crime?

The debate on the opioid crisis in Canada continued in the House of Commons on Tuesday with Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre asking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau whether Toronto would be next to decriminalize possession of hard drugs after the city of Vancouver took the measure. Conservative MP Kerry Findlay followed up the questioning by asking, “Addiction workers confirmed that most users of so-called safe supply are diverting these drugs into the hands of organized crime. Criminals are selling these drugs to children. When will this prime minister end this dangerous drug-trafficking experiment that profits big pharma and kills children,” she asked.
