Canada needs a game plan for next phase of opioid crisis

The opioid crisis is not just a "crisis." It is a chronic issue that demands a long-term, coordinated, evidence-based response rather than piecemeal reactions. We have models to learn from, both internationally and here at home. What we need now is the political will to act.

Post from JD Vance saying, "Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military"

To which Hashis Mteuzi, PMP replied, "The Sackler Family cartel killed 500,000 Americans and never saw a day in prison.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with them being white billionaires."

Even though this settlement deal represents nearly 2/3 of the Sackler's wealth, they will still be billionaires.

Purdue Pharma, Sackler family members reach new opioid settlement

Members of the Sackler family who own OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma, and the company itself, agreed to pay up to $7.4 billion to settle lawsuits over the toll of the powerful prescription painkiller. The deal announced Thursday represents an increase over a previous settlement deal. The earlier one was rejected last year by the U.S. Supreme Court. The court ruled the earlier version improper because it protected members of the wealthy family from civil lawsuits over OxyContin — even though the family members themselves were not in bankruptcy. Besides this deal, there have been about $50 billion in opioid settlements announced in recent years.

Too long, would rather read? Here's a link to the text of my remarks on Bill S-256, in which I tell the tale of the Great Post Office Espionage Scandal of 1844 - and express my misgivings about creating law that treats Indigenous communities differently than non-Indigenous ones. https://sencanada.ca/en/senators/simons-paula/interventions/653249/63#hID #SenateofCanada #CanadaPost #fentanyl #OpiodCrisis #Canada
