Liberals and NDP have no time for your daughter’s tragic B.C. opioid story
Instead of creating motions to address Sword’s concerns, they coldly put forward unrelated motions
“I lost my daughter two years ago to this opioid crisis. I fought for the last two years to save her life, and I failed,” said Greg Sword, struggling to contain his tears. He had flown from Metro Vancouver to Ottawa, to tell parliamentarians he believes diverted “safer supply” opioids led to the death of his only daughter, Kamilah, two years ago. Sword testified safer supply opioids had ravaged her friend group and he wanted justice for them all.
Yet at the House of Commons Health Committee, where Sword’s testimony was given, the Liberal-NDP MPs in attendance didn’t seem too interested in his story. They asked no questions of him, and, worse yet, seemingly used parliamentary maneuvers to reduce his speaking time.
This outcome, though deplorable, was not altogether unexpected. The Liberals and NDP have maintained that “safer supply” opioids, which are firehosed upon addicts at taxpayer expense, are not ending up in the hands of youth, and that critics are merely fearmongering and spreading disinformation.
Faced with the rebuke of his tears, they chose to ignore a grieving father and, in doing so, prioritized politics over compassion and ideology over reality.
Jack’s Advice: Don’t waste your time coming to Ottawa to testify in front of these socialist idiots. They have an agenda and it doesn’t include you. I wouldn’t spend one minute of my valuable time trying to reason with folks who are clearly sub-human. I despise them all. End of message.
