2023 budget allocation is HALF what was spent over 5yrs of CDSS (2017-18 to 2021-22) $741.66M across ALL pillars (prevention; treatment; harm reduction; enforcement). Enforcement = more than all other pillars combined; drives need for harm reduction spending; takes away from prevention/treatment 👮

The mess & toxicity of the unregulated drug supply, driven by scheduling & enforcement. But spending $1.3B over 5yrs on border security+$200M for RCMP & a "FENTANYL czar", on top of Budget 2023 allocation to Canadian Drugs & Substances Strategy ($358.6M over 5rs) will fix it! Federal spending...1/2

Sturko plays on fear and misinformation again.

“Last year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the northern border, compared with almost 9,600 kilograms at the border with Mexico”

Canada’s public safety minister said less than 1% of illegal immigration & less than 1% of #fentanyl entering the United States comes from #Canada yet Canada is spending $1.3 billion including two helicopters and 60 drones to increase “border security” due to Trump’s tariff threats. 🙄😡
