Sort of right, we actually don't have a safe supply, or at least not even close to substantial enough supply. We just made it legal to have drugs. If anything OD deaths end up going up because Rory McDonald who's here from Ireland on a trip doesn't have to be scared to have some coke in his pocket for a night at the Roxy. It's not making things safer for habitual drug users, it's making things less difficult for casual drug users.
I'm all for removing the stigma of drug use, and all for harm reduction, and especially for removing power from the police (especially VPD) to harass people about it, but this is half baked as fuck.
That said, PP doesn't have a plan worth a shit otherwise. He's just your typical contrarian fuck who has made a career of calling people dumb while bringing nothing to the table.
The real issue here is there is a wait for addictions counselling. If someone wants help, they should be able to get it within a day, not a few months while they go back to the DTES and get surrounded by heroin and other habitual drug users.
