New York Post: Memo to Mamdani: Overdose deaths surged after British Columbia legalized drugs, as pol admits ‘I was wrong’
The Western Standard is reporting that "Federal health figures confirm overdose deaths increased during British Columbia’s drug decriminalization experiment before dropping after police resumed enforcing drug laws."
"Blacklock's Reporter says Department of Health data showed overdose deaths rose 12% under decriminalization, climbing from 2,098 deaths in 2022 to 2,347 in 2024. Deaths then fell 22% to 1,841 in 2025 after police enforcement resumed."
"The new figures align with British Columbia Coroners Service statistics showing overdose deaths jumped 16.5% during the 15-month decriminalization period compared with the previous 15 months." Thankfully, no lie can live forever.
It's the same with lethal injections sites. When you increase addiction, you increase drug overdoses. When you open a lethal injection site they don;t just use drugs in that site, they use it all around that site. It becomes a free for all zone of lawlessness. The use of harmful drugs increase and as a dissect result, the number of drug overdoses increase.
It also results in the instant increase in violent crime.
Decriminalization also failed in Portland.
Lets not forget all the $$$$ spent on pharmacy grade drugs to provide to these street people.
ReplyDeleteMore shooting in surrey yesterday center city area
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how now they say there was a shooting but it wasn't extortion related as though that somehow makes it OK.
DeleteAgreed, but another reason the numbers are down is there is simply less hard drug users out there, they are all dead. Yes there is always new ones but the feckless and asinine ideologies and policies of the NDP and Federal liberals contributed to tens of thousands dying in BC alone. So basic attrition...nice work by incompetent socialists! Unless.......that's what they were shooting for, look at MAID,,,, just saying. They had had similar program called T4 in a special little country in the late 30's and early 40's which was also very effective so who knows..
