You’re making personal assumptions about me, and the internal mental states of others that I think are unfair.
I don’t want to see overdoses in the street, nobody should. Not because I want it to happen in private, but because I don’t want it to happen. For the record, and not that you asked, but, I’ve also never said that I’m an advocate for mandatory rehab, or that it’s some kind of magical cure-all. I’m not here carrying water for these initiatives. All I’m saying is that there’s a serious problem, and a need for solutions and sincere discussion. I don’t think anything is gained for any position by browbeating others and fabulating their inner thoughts.
This was course material to a post grad university course on the subject of addiction and recovery taught THIS MONTH. It discusses the entire history of opiods.
Interesting. Can you link the course? I’d be curious to see the syllabus and learn more.
Also, I can see from the NDP perspective, the view that the Liberals weren’t holding up their part of the deal to advance NDP policy. In this circumstance, it’s not like quitting a job. Trudeau wasn’t Singh’s boss. They had an agreement that the NDP said was mutable from the start based on their discretion. For Trudeau to bellyache about it all now is, I think, a bit silly, considering the essentially cost-free benefit his party gained from the agreement for years.
