Corruption within B.C.'s safer supply program

The National Post is reporting that "A leaked document produced by British Columbia’s Ministry of Health alleges that “significant” quantities of “safer supply” opioids are being diverted to the black market with the assistance of organized gangs and certain unscrupulous health-care providers. This raises serious questions about the competence and honesty of B.C. New Democrats and federal Liberals, who gaslit Canadians for two years by insisting that reports of mass diversion were disinformation."

"The document in question is a PowerPoint presentation summarizing the findings of a special investigative unit that, according to B.C. Health Minister Josie Osborne, was created sometime before last October’s provincial election. Many details remain unclear, as only the presentation slides were leaked last week, but the available bullet points and summaries are damning enough."

"The presentation confirms that a significant portion of safer supply opioids are being diverted to the black market, where they are being trafficked provincially, nationally and internationally. Photos of diverted safer supply prescriptions, apparently confiscated during vehicle searches and still in their original packaging, were included to illustrate the point."

"The special investigative unit identified at least 60 B.C. pharmacies allegedly providing prohibited paid incentives to customers, doctors and assisted living residences to increase their profits. As the leaked presentation alleges, some incentivized patients may only want one of their three daily prescriptions, and thus divert their extra opioids to the black market, fuelling organized crime."
