Doug Ford Takes Stand Against Federal Drug Policies

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has drawn a line in the sand against the federal government’s drug policies, labeling it "the biggest drug dealer in Canada."
Ford's comments came during a press conference where he defended his government’s decision to close supervised drug consumption sites near schools and daycares.
He underscored the failures of the federal government's safer supply program, which aims to provide prescribed medications as alternatives to illegal drugs.
According to Ford, these sites have become hubs for addiction rather than recovery.
"Our communities deserve better," he stated emphatically.
He recounted receiving numerous complaints from concerned citizens about discarded needles in parks and the rampant drug use occurring in proximity to schools.
Ford insists that the current approach of providing free drugs is not just ineffective, but harmful.
Evidence has surfaced indicating that safe supply sites often worsen the overdose crisis.
Reports indicate that since decriminalization began in British Columbia, the province has recorded an alarming maximum overdose death rate.
Critics argue that these policies have inadvertently given rise to organized crime, with criminal networks profiting from taxpayer-funded drugs.
Ford is advocating for a different approach: increased funding for treatment and rehabilitation services instead of merely maintaining a supply of drugs.
"It's time we put resources into helping those affected, getting them into jobs, and off the streets," Ford said.
As communities grapple with the consequences of these policies, the demand for change is more urgent than ever.
Ford's call for action reflects a broader sentiment among conservative leaders who prioritize public health and safety over controversial drug policies.
It remains to be seen how this confrontation will unfold, but one thing is clear: Ford is committed to restoring integrity and safety to Ontario neighborhoods.
