For those interested, I have introduced 2 bills before the Senate on alcohol policy: Bill #S254(#cancer warning labels on #alcoholic products) and #S290(banning alcohol promotion) similar to tobacco and cannabis products. 🪶

I had the honour to introduce a 2nd piece of legislation on alcohol policy in 🇨🇦.

#Tobacco and #Cannabis, by law cannot advertise their products.

Why do alcohol companies get a free pass when 🍺 🍷 🍹 causes more damage, including ⤴️ health/legal/societal costs to taxpayers?🪶

Tobacco is legal but we don’t promote it.

Cannabis is legal but we don’t promote it.

Alcohol is legal but why do we promote it knowing what we know? 🤔

The message is slowly permeating. Let’s support Bill #S254(cancer warning labels on alcoholic products) and Bill #S290(alcohol advertising ban in 🇨🇦).

No more free passes for the alcohol industry.

People think of obvious harms like DUI/crashes, addiction, cirrhosis, but I'm always amazed at how few women know the link to breast ca.

@senpatrickbrazeau.bsky.social has been vocal on the other site about his bill S-254 that would require labelling. Hoping his advocacy moves over here.
Screen capture of X post by Senator Patrick Brazeau: "Are tax breaks also being provided on #alcohol? Why? In addition to this ⬇️, 🇨🇦 has a $6Billion alcohol deficit meaning it costs taxpayers and society more $$ than revenues alcohol sales bring in to gvts. #S254 #EnableTheLabel #mentalhealth #suicideprevention #cancer #S290" includes graphics that say "All alcoholic drinks cause cancer, enable the label, Cancers caused by alcohol: oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx, oesophagus, breast (in women), liver, colorectal" and "Big tobacco didn't want you to know either. Enable the label. It's a fact: alcohol consumption is linked to seven fatal cancers. Senator Patrick Brazque's Bill S-254 would require cancer warnings on alcoholic beverages."
