I’ve been advising govts on addiction since the 90s and in 2021 Mr Eby requested a personal briefing on addiction, homelessness and public safety in BC
I presented results from the large body of research conducted in BC with corroborating international evidence
He chose to implement policies that had clear harmful effects and one week after my briefing the BC govt ordered my university to destroy my team’s decades of scientific findings, also eliminating our ability to carry out funded research
Rational action concerning addiction and public safety left BC’s capital some time ago and IMO the biggest challenge of the next elected govt is to reform and redirect relevant public services
This is David Eby’s legacy. He leaves behind tens of thousands of drug addicts who have lost the will to thrive, to succeed and even to live. He has turned B.C. from a province of happy prosperous citizens into a province of people struggling to stay alive, governed by batshit crazy lunatics.
