Harm reduction activists in BC said decriminalization would result in less harm. There's now a major overdose crisis in BC. With >10,000 deaths in less then a year.

Municipalities are passing unconstitutional laws to prevent people from using drugs in parks.

Obviously the supreme court struck this law(s) down. Obviously BC has one of the worst homelessness crisis which is related. They also fired thousands of antivaxxer healthcare workers and still are, resulting in a healthcare worker crisis as well. Those vaxxer who remained now have far significant higher workload.

Overall you can clearly see multiple major crisis caused by the BC politicians. Luckily there's an election in October this year. But for some reason the current politicians are looking at a landslide win? lol?

The current party is well liked because they are trying to undo many of the issues with healthcare, schools and general mismanagement was done by the previous 12 years when Gordon Campbell and Christy Clark were premiere.

The new government has actually done a surprisingly good job at fixing things despite how badly the previous government salted the earth.

Speaking of healthcare one of the things they are praised for is changing the way doctors are paid. As a result we've had 700 new GP'S come to BCIT in the last year. I know people who couldn't get GP'S for over a decade that are finally getting doctors.

I have trouble believing you are from BC or perhaps you are abti-vaxx and have some kind of agenda.

Regardless I find your take very disengenuous.

Horgan took power in 2017. Most of BC's problems started after this. Though don't take me as defending the liberals because they did tremendous damage to BC as well.

The NDP are the ones making 'changes' and are the ones causing problems with their changes.

So the net change is still thousands less?

And you think thousands less of workers has resulted in better services?

You're the throwaway.

All of my points are easily confirmed. There are those ongoing crisis.
