With a fair, firm and compassionate approach, we can keep our communities safe while treating addiction as a health\u002Dcare issue
My message was that everything feels broken, and the government’s approach to addiction policy is top among them. Over the past decade, addiction has become a crisis in Canada. Whether it be the rapid increase in opioid-related deaths, the massive spike in meth use driving rural crime or the overuse of alcohol, which continues to utilize more health care resources than all other narcotics combined, Canadians are suffering.
Public safety must be at the centre of this conversation, right alongside a focus on treating addiction and supporting Canadians in their pursuit of recovery.200 frequent offenders Repeating the 1980s War on Drugs is not the answer.

Since that testy exchange—as was the case during the seven-month leadership race—Poilievre’s interactions with media have been minimal and mostly with local reporters over parliamentary journalists. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre spoke with reporters on Dec. 7 in the House of Commons’ foyer about a RCMP contract awarded to China-linked company that is now under review, as well as the Bank of Canada interest rate hikes.
