Addiction is out of control, and the havoc is spreading. Canada's addiction enablement cult has become a religion, and they're incapable of reason. No matter how stark the evidence of the failure of their policy gets, they refuse to face reality. Rather than rethinking the notion that enabling addiction will save addicts, they just keep doubling down as the policies fail and lives are lost.
00:00:00.180The addiction enablement cult, it just keeps going and going, and Canada's addiction enablement cult is out of control, and the havoc's spreading.
00:00:07.220And yes, they're a cult, and that's what I'm going to call them.
00:00:09.580I mean, how else can we characterize them?
00:00:11.560No matter how stark the evidence of the failure of their policy gets, they just refuse to face reality.
00:00:16.520Rather than rethinking the notion that enabling addiction will save addicts, they just keep doubling down as the policies fail and lives are lost.
00:00:24.480Their ideology, it's become a religion, and they're incapable of reason.
00:00:28.580Policymakers in the courts have embraced the tenets of the cult, and B.C. is ground zero.
00:00:33.200I mean, the courts in B.C. have declared it a charter right for addicts to consume meth and fentanyl in children's playgrounds.
00:00:39.120I wish I was making this up, but you'll still be ticketed if you smoke a cigarette within 10 minutes of a doorway.
00:00:50.360Drug consumption centers have sprung up in urban centers across the country, and they've invariably been a disaster.
00:00:56.020The one in Lethbridge, Alberta, got shut down for corruption issues.
00:00:58.820People are begging for the one in Red Deer to be shut down because it's turned the area into a disaster zone.
00:01:03.580The centers destroy neighborhoods as the drug dealers follow the addicts and bring their associated crime with them.
00:01:08.720The safe consumption concept fails as well as the fatal overdoses are continuing to break record levels every year.
00:01:15.960It's an easy statistic to monitor, unfortunately, and it's pretty undeniable.
00:01:20.040Addiction is spreading and it's killing more people despite the advent of safe consumption centers.
00:01:24.520The cult's also, it's like it's focused on the myth that drug addiction itself is not a condition that must be cured.
00:01:31.160They see it as something that can be managed, you know, if we just managed it safely.
00:01:34.240If only addicts could get a pure enough supply of drugs and a nice place to consume them, they'll be living okay.
00:01:39.460They refuse to admit that the drugs themselves are the problem and propagate the myth that it's only impure street drugs that kill addicts.
00:01:46.240That leads to their absurd and fatal provision of a safe supply of drugs.
00:01:51.080There's no such thing as a safe supply of fentanyl or meth.
00:01:53.960Do they think if a shot of heroin was pure enough, it wouldn't kill the user eventually?
00:01:58.760Yes, that's actually what they believe.
00:02:00.720Still, the cultists have gotten their way and BC's been handing out drugs to addicts like candies.
00:02:04.620And not only have fatal overdoses risen over there since then, but so has the number of new addicts.
00:02:10.540The addicts accept the drugs handed out, then trade them with street dealers for stronger drugs.
00:02:14.340Those dealers then use that nice safe supply to sell and create new addicts.
00:02:19.620Nice fresh ones to keep their business expanding as the other ones die off.
00:02:22.800Anybody with a grain of common sense could have seen that coming.
00:02:27.500RCMP and Prince George, BC recently seized over 10,000 pills.
00:02:31.520It sounds like most of them were from safe supply prescriptions.
00:02:36.000Now, BC Premier E.B. was quick to claim that the RCMP were mistaken in identifying the source of the drugs as being from safe supply sources.
00:02:42.720E.B. doesn't need evidence to make such a claim, of course.
00:02:46.500Police officers do, however, and their evidence points to the safe supply handouts.
00:02:50.360The enablement cult has also claimed it's the lack of safe shelters for drug consumption that leads to these deaths.
00:02:55.960Homeless shelters, you see, they won't allow the consumption of drugs within their facilities, and for good reason.
00:03:00.480They can hardly help people get back on their feet if they're surrounded by others with rampant drug use around them.
00:03:06.360Try to convince the single mother who's caught in a shelter to stay there with her kids while she's surrounded by addicts in the grips of meth-induced psychosis.
00:03:12.860Most of the homeless we see on the streets are addicts.
00:03:15.340The enablement cultists continually deny that, but one only needs to walk among them for a few minutes and see the pipes and syringes and know that reality.
00:03:22.040The enablement cult has managed to get funding for and open shelters now in BC where drug consumption's allowed.
00:03:28.220Yeah, they've done it. They've created the nirvana for addicts that they claim is required.
00:03:32.700The addicts are given safe supplies, and they have a safe place to consume them, but they can crash there now as well as if it was any other shelter.
00:03:40.520Now, those shelters quickly turned into dystopian nightmares, and they look like opium dens of old.
00:03:45.860There's an activist, Ken Dahlgren. I strongly suggest you try and look it up.
00:03:49.820He got footage from within the PHS Community Services Society Addiction Enablement Shelter in Vancouver, and he posted on X.
00:03:58.020Addicts are passed out in different states of inebriation on filthy mattresses on the floor.
00:04:02.180There's body fluids sprayed on the walls, and shouts and screaming can be heard behind strangely locked doors.
00:04:06.980It looks like something out of a horror movie.
00:04:08.460How can anybody tour such a facility and still claim it's helping anybody?
00:04:13.200I mean, nobody can, unless they've embraced the enablement as a religion.
00:04:17.260They're blind to reality, and the state's funding their delusion.
00:04:20.020There's not going to be an easy solution to be found for the addiction epidemic.
00:04:23.260Treatment's limited and expensive, and not all addicts are willing to take part in it.
00:04:26.880We do know what won't work, though, and that's enablement.
00:04:29.660The enablement cult is populated by academics, activists, politicians.
00:04:33.220One thing lacking within that cult, though, are the voices of recovered addicts.
00:04:37.560They know what won't work, and they support treatment rather than enablement.
00:04:41.520This cult must be defunded, guys, and we've got to shut it down.
00:04:44.160Until it is, this addiction epidemic is only going to continue to spread and get worse.
