Thank you for listening to Depiction's Media Radio. Welcome to Policy Rights to show about government policy and human rights. All right, everybody, welcome back to policy and rights here in Depictions Media Radio. I'm your host, Michael Clogs. UM. We're gonna hear some comments about the Alberta election, Uh Daniel
Smith. It came out to be the victor. UM. The interesting part about this, as much as we we broadcast please go vote, get your voice heard, and it's one of the best ways if we want to see change in our world is to go vote. The election UM had one of the lowest turnouts for Alberta UM in in well in Alberta history, UM that
did. The voter turnout was was extremely low and UM Daniel Smith did come out to be the victor over UM of course not only with the NDP and she gets to continue her what it is is she was working on for her vision of what Alberta should look like. And congratulations to her on that, you know, coming up with the victory. But we do need to need
to stress that yes, we do actually need to go vote. We can't be disheartened by we hear things about the interference foreign interference into the electoral system. We can't be disheartened by that. And we're actually going to hear jack Mee saying makes some comments about that and that he is continuing to call for a public inquiry into the public interference and what China has done and what what the ceases records and information actually has inside of it, so that they can
figure out how to improve the system and make the system better. There were some comments and questions about would the trigger a confidence vote and which case everybody goes into electrotion mode, and Jackie See was adamant to death's not the ultimate goal of what he wants. What he wants is to see the truth come
out about what is happening inside of the electoral process. So and we're also going to hear, of course Alberta is still in a wildfire emergency, which well Daniel Smith gets to keep going with that, which is a continued uphill battle. And now Nova Scotia is seeing um the same thing with far as
fires happening. We're going to also hear comments about the opiate crisis, as Elizabeth May is joined by others uh speaking for safe supply and to treat addiction as a mental illness and not to treat it um just on a criminal basis, to maybe decriminalize drugs so that people can get the help they need with mental illness and addiction. Along with that, we're we're also going to hear
some other comments about other issues that happen across Canada as well. We listen to UM all of the segments today, So why don't we start off with Justin Trudeau as he is going to make the first segment in ground Jeri Michelle Coti, the Parsidan and the Mellouisandi deceny in the ferry in the play Masuvier la touche spirit so rolling crazy on the premier film U some some rest committed on um oral parkams uh ka uh sit there artist a universe culture, really
mediatic artistic, Qua was the players um. Michelle Couti was an extraordinary actor who um moved us all as Quebecers in so many different ways and this one that those who don't know who she he is would be good to view some of his films. I think his abilities as an actor and comedian were legendary.
Sing was the special actor to sit down. May they are natist like Kwaiba means she told her what film crazy, but who we accept la chance and immediately Okay, back about the Alberta election, just your general thoughts. My thoughts are that all Burtons are going to make their choice today. We'll see who the premier is tonight, and I encourage everybody to go out and vote. Jean, I want to ask you about what's what's your react?
But we have to stay vigilant in our own country, but we also have to raise our voices internationally when we see our rights taken away from people and rights that were hard fought being scaled back. Look, we don't have to go very far in our own country to look at people that are trying to make sure that pride flags aren't flown. You don't have to go further than
Oxford County to see that. Chill rack BC has had issues with trans kids in school, and now we see even in Atlantic provinces the rights of kids to be who they are in school trying to be taken away. So we have to remain visioned on lgbtq I S plus rights here in Canada and we have to stick up for them around the world as well. A twelve how
do you envision the federal dopment four poment. Whoever is elected, an accident comes to you know, the challenge is related to climate change or pathic emissions. Sure, as Minister wrote of my job has been since day one to find common ground and to work on files together. And whether it's been a Premier not L's group in my first mandate or whether it was Premier Kenny's group
in the second mandate, the job is to represent all all Burtons. And I can tell you when I'm on the doors talking with people, what they tell us is we elect municipal, provincial and federal reps to get the work done. We expect you all to work together and that's that will be my approach with whoever the new cabinet and MLAs are after today's election. Thanks for well. I mean, this isn't new money. It was announced in the
budget and you know, I go back. You know, the Prime Minister acknowledged what was happening around violence against Indigenous women and girls as a genocide, yet they're not investing adequately in it. And I agree with the chair of the Family and Survivor's Circle, the National Family and Survivor's Circle, that it needs to be accountable. It needs to be you know, spent in a
timely way, and it needs to be measurable goals. You know, the federal government has a habit of making these big announcements and then not spending the money. So we know about the money in the twenty twenty three budget. We know they need to invest more if they're serious about addressing this ongoing genocide, and they need to get that money out the door, unlike pass Moneys that they've allocated, including from twenty and we're still waiting for them to spend
it. Pretty things are they're putting well? I mean absolutely we need to look after everybody's health and wellbeing. Uh and certainly the well being of men and boys. I absolutely think that's necessary. You know, Indigenous women and girls and diverse gendered folks are not perpetrating violence on ourselves. Often it's happening at the hands of men and boys. So we need to make sure that we look after men and boys as well. We need to make sure that
they're healthy. So I do support that gender bouncer you want. Good morning, Thank you for coming to this press conference, which is fully nonpartisan and focused on the crisis the opioid crisis, the importance of harm reduction, and policies that focus on safe supply and decriminalization. I'm joined today and we're going to have a speaking order as follows. I'm really honored to be joined by a number of the real experts through tragedy in this issue with Mom's Stop the
Harm. First, we're going to hear from Adam Vancouver Don, Parliamentary Secretary to Health that I'm going to invite Leslie McBain for mom Stop the Harm, and Ruth Fox and Christine Taylor to take the stage. Followed Up, the closing words will be from Mike Morris MP for Kitchener's Center. So I'll just turn the microphone over to Adam. Thank you, MP. May. It's a real pleasure to be here in Elizabeth. Each other by our first names,
because we're friends and colleagues. And the reason that we're here today is because members of the Liberal Party, the Green Party, the NDP, and the Blackibiqua are have become increasingly horrified by the really fact free rhetoric coming from the Conservative Party as it relates to safe supply and harm reduction in this country. We have to acknowledge that we have an opioid crisis, in a poisoned drug crisis in Canada, and the type of rhetoric that's coming from Pierre Polyev
and the Conservatives right now is doing more harm. It's spreading mistruth, it's creating more stigma, and it's not doing anything to help people who actually need it. So I'm really glad to be joined today by Leslie, Christine and Ruth, who have just met, but who are familiar to everybody who really knows what they're talking about when it comes to the opioid crisis in Canada. I want to acknowledge that I'm a politician like Pierre Polyev and Elizabeth May and
Mike Morris. I'm a politician, not an expert in the opioid crisis or really very many other things. That's why we rely on experts. We rely on experts for that academic approach for an evidence based solution. And since Canada at large has been employing a safe supply and harm reduction approach and an evidence based approach to solving for the epioid opioid epidemic, there have been tens of thousands of overdose reversals. Lives are being saved. This is not work that's
complete, it's ongoing. But the type of fact free nonsense that's been coming out of the conservative side on this lately is harmful and it needs to stop. So with that I pass it over moms to stop the harm. Whether that's Ruth, Christine or Leslie, I'm not sure, but I'd just like to thank you for your time today, for coming here to Ottawa, and for sharing your lived and living experience which is informing our government's action on how
we support people through the toughest times of their life. Thank you very much for being here. Thanks. We are reluctant experts. We never wanted to be standing here, and we're standing here because our children have died from drug harms. We are advocates for the implementation right now other things as well, but the implementation of a safe, regulated, legal supply of drugs for people who need them. We really want to implore the public to understand what that
means. It doesn't mean standing on the corner and giving out drugs to kids, which has been sort of intimated by the Conservatives. We want to set the records straight. This project will be very highly regulated, highly documented. The research will be the research is there, the statistics will be there as well. We know that the only way to stop or reduce the horrendous number
of deaths is to implement a regulated supply. I mean people who are addicted tobacco, people who are addicted to alcohol have a safe, regulated supply. They can use it unsafely, but it's up to them. People who are addicted, and I'm hoping the public understands addiction as we go along, need to have the drug they're addicted or dependent on, and they have to go out into the black market, which is run by the by gangs organized trying.
So we are making people who are addicted and dependent go out into that market to get the medicine they need. This isn't how we work in Canada. We help people who have health conditions. We actually can easily compare what happens with people who are addicted and how they're treated with people who have heart attacks and how they're treated. They are followed for life. They have the best medicines in the world, they have the best doctors in the world here
in Canada, but not so with people who are addicted. So we are working so hard to show that you know, drug use is a problem, but it shouldn't be deadly. It should be treated. When people come into the er, they should be treated with respect. They should be treated with ongoing care and support. They shouldn't be just turfed out the door, which happens everywhere across the land. Our kids died because they didn't have what we
are advocating for. They didn't have services, they didn't have harm reduction. They didn't they weren't able to get into treatment when they needed it. The Conservatives say that they're building, They're going to build this fantastic amount of treatment beds and evidence based and all of those things, and we agree we need those, but dead people can't access those services. So we're here to tell
to tell the world, to tell the world stop the deaths. And we will say that every single day for the rest of our lives, because that's where our grief will be for the rest of our lives. We're in grief because we lost our kids. Thanks, And I would like to hand it
over to Christine Naylor valuation exactly. So I've prepared something to say because I'm not as good as Leslie and when I'm nervous, so i just want to say I'm here in Ottawa today to stand united with advocates from across our province in country, to advocate in support of safe supply and other harm reduction measures that meet people where they are and help to keep them alive. Our country needs to move forward, not backwards when it comes to measures to address the
toxic drug supply. Measures taken to date to address the toxic crisis have failed the results of these failures are heartbreaking in the extreme. Since two thousand and sixteen, over thirty five thousand Canadians have lost their lives due to our country's failed drug policies. My son was one of them. Thirty five thousand. This is a number that is staggering and it should outrage Canadians, and yet it doesn't and why because of stigma. Every drug death is a policy failure,
and it's a policy choice. Every life loss mattered, Every loss affects a family, and it leaves ripples of grief, trauma, and heartbreak in communities across our country. In November of two thousand and twenty, our worst nightmare came true. We lost our son Ryan to a toxic drug poisoning. As much as I wanted it not to be real, to wake up and it all to be a bad dream. It wasn't. On Ryan's thirty fifth birthday, instead of celebrating with our son, we buried him. Ryan lived
with concurrent disorders, having both bipolar disorder and substance use disorder. The last eight years of his life were struggle. It didn't have to be that way, and I truly believe if society support it instead of shame those living with mental illness and substance use issues, Ryan's story would have had a different ending. Ryan is dead because he was denied a safe supply of what for him was his medicine. It was a drug he found that helped him to cope
with his bipolar disorder. Since Ryan's passing, my husband and I formed a nonprofit organization in Ryan's memory and honor. Our mission is to advocate for and support those living with mental illness and substance use issues and experiencing homelessness. Our work brings us into contact with so many people in our community that are struggling with substance use issues. We have needlessly lost so many members of our communities.
These deaths were preventable. Lose approximately one member of our community a week, the toxic drug crisis continues to take a tool on our community and on our country. As a co founder and director of Bryan's Hope and as an advocate for Mom Stop the Harm, I vocally advocate for decriminalization, safe supply, and other health based measures to support people living with substance use issues.
Public health experts, law enforcement, frontline workers, and people with lived and living experience have long called for a shift in Canada's approach to substance use, including decriminalization of simple, expungement of convictions, universal access to treatment and recovery programs, but the access has to be voluntary force treatment we know does not
work. Yet, instead of moving forward in a more health and evidence based approach this to address this public health emergency, the Conservatives are calling for measures to reverse the small steps that we have taken and bring us back even further backwards with our country's drug policy. This will have devastating effects and it will cost countless lives. This is why advocates have come to Ottawa to stand unite it at Parliament. The cost of us not standing up and speaking out is
too high. Together, we will change policy and stigma and save lives. Thank you now, I know, but I had came good morning. I've jotted down some words as well. In August twenty twenty, my world and my heart were forever shattered when my youngest son, Trevor died from toxic jog poisoning. Trevor died in his home. He did not have a history of sub problematic substance use. He was twenty five years old and had a full
and promising life ahead of him. I believe that if it wasn't for the stigma associated with substance use, criminalization of people who use substances, and the toxic supply, Trevor would be with us to day. As Trevor's death illustrates, it is not only those who struggle with substance use disorder who are dying. Any One who uses substances is at risk, and these are preventable deaths. We have a policy and social framework which judges, shames, and punishes
people who use drugs. We need to criminalization of persons who use drugs and access to regulated substances often called safe supply, within the framework of a compassionate public health care approach. An approach that respects human rights meets people where they are and does not stigmatize or discriminate on any basis. If there was safe
supply, Trevor would be here today. Simply put, nobody has died from safer supply, while the toxic drunk supply has killed almost thirty five thousand Canadians since twenty sixteen and continues to take the lives of about twenty people across Canada every day. Every day, twenty families are plunged into never ending grief. Thank you, thank you all for coming. Really honored to be here with Senator Kim Paid to my right and Victoria Person from a March of Dimes.
March of Dimes Canada to continue to call for the federal government to cut the delays on C. Twenty two, to recognize that people with disabilities have been waiting far to long, that people with disabilities continue to live in legislated poverty across the country, that forty percent of people living in poverty across the country are living with a disability, and they could be acting right now. We're calling on them to first of all, prioritize C. Twenty two to bring
C twenty two. This is the Canada Disability Benefit Act that the Senate has now moved ahead with to bring it back to the floor of the House of Comments. In doing so, to ratify all the amendments from the Senate, the good work that Senator Pate and her colleagues have done to improve the bill, and while they're at it, to budget the benefit, because nothing changes for people with disabilities until the Canada Disability Benefit is funded. There have been
five sitting days this week, five different opportunities. The federal government had to reintroduce C twenty two National Accessibility Week. Is there a better time than that to be reintroducing C twenty two. Disappointed they haven't yet, but we continue to call on them without delay to move forward on reintroducing and giving C twenty two the Canada Disability Benefit Act the priority it deserves and to act with the
urgency that the disability community continues to call for. I'll now turn to Senator Kim Pate right, Thank you very much, mister Morris, and as member of Parliament who has championed this, it's vitally important. The government took a very clear position that they were going to support a disability benefit. They introduced it. It was that's fantastic. The Minister has done incredible work. Has
the level of support from the community disability community that is unprecedented. The challenges that the bill we got as a Senate was a framework, a piece of framework legislation that was virtually empty and devoid of any substance. Now we think that what we sent back is not the best it could be, but it certainly would mean some things like adequacy, help prevent clawbacks, help ensure that we actually see the benefits roll out more expeditiously, and that the consultations start
very quickly with disability groups. It's vitally important that this go ahead. My understanding was this accessibility week, it would be considered in the House of Commons. It's a huge disappointment to see it being delayed further by this government. We worked very hard in the Senate to work through as many of the issues as quickly as possible to get it back here so that there were at least four sitting weeks in order for it to be considered. The time is running
out and disability people with disabilities can't wait. They've been waiting already several years for this benefit since it was first announced, so the time to act is now. I'm hoping that all of the members of Parliament here will take it upon themselves to to support the Senate amendment and get this benefit rolling out as quickly as possible to all people who deserve it and who need to be lifted
out of poverty. Not after our summer break, not you know, sometime, you know, long into the future, but now, thank you, thank you very much. March Times Canada is one of thirteen organizations that last week sent a letter to House leaders from all parties about Bill C twenty two, and our message was simple. We need to return this legislation to the Order paper of the House of Commons and pass it without any further delay,
and it must receive royal assent before Parliament adjourns for the summer. The time to act is now. Every day that we wait for this bill is a day to people with disabilities in this country must continue to live in poverty. Every day we wait delays the critical next steps of this process. The community, Canada's disability community is ready. We are ready to roll up our sleeves, to lean in and to partner in the cocreation of the regulations that will
establish the key details of this benefit. We are ready to partner in the implementation and roll out of the benefit so that it can reach as many people with disabilities as possible and lift them out of poverty, restoring independence and dignity. We are ready, but the next steps are up to this House and so on behalf of people living with disabilities in every corner of this country. We implore you, let's get this done. Thank you, Victoria, thank
you for those strong words. It's always so encouraging to see the disability community, the disability community united from Disability without Poverty to March of Dimes to Inclusion a Canada, every step of the way calling for this benefit to be prioritized with the urgency it does. It deserves. Thank you. Questions for Victoria's letters to the House, the House and resolves. Have you any response to the House line? Probably about a few weeks. We haven't had a formal
response to our letter. We're encouraged by some of what we're hearing while we're here this week in Ottawa, but we really need to see the evidence of this bill on the notice paper to feel confident that this is going to get done in time for the adjournment. And I think the best evidence of the answer to that question is whether C twenty two is on the order order paper,
and again it hasn't been reintroduced. As I said earlier, there were five different opportunities this week to see it come up, and we need to continue to call for the governing party to put to put it up. Thank you, thank you, was you a good day. I'll have an opening and then I'll be ready for your questions. I want to just start off by acknowledging that there are so many forest fires across the country and our first
responders, firefighters are fighting hard. Communities are devastated, and I just want to acknowledge the work that's being done and also the challenging times for a lot of Canadians right now. I also want to talk about our opposition day motion. In our motion, we are calling for the government to remove mister Johnston as a special rappertur. We know that a lot of Canadians have left countries where they were oppressed. They fled those countries and came to Canada seeking security,
seeking safety, seeking freedom. Sadly, that same oppressionists followed them to Canada, and there are countless Canadians that have shared their stories about how they are experiencing foreign interference in their lives, people of Iranian descent, Canadians that have come from India, Canadians that have come from countries around the world have continued to face foreign interference in their lives here in Canada, and we are
worried about that. We also know that there's clear allegations of foreign interference in our electoral system, and that's something we take seriously. Unlike mister Trudeau, who wants ignore this, sweep it on the rug, or unlike mister Paul Yeah, for whom this is just a game, just playing a political game here, New Democrats are taking it seriously. I'm going to be receiving the special briefing, confidential information regarding what CSIS knows, because I think this is
serious, and that's why we're calling for mister Johnson this episide. We've been very careful that from the beginning, we believe the public enquires right step, but we've never and I don't attack mister Johnson personally, but I am concerned that there is a very clear apprehension of bias that undermines the work that he can do. And so at this point we are asking for mister Johnson to
be removed, and that's where our opposite emotion is about. In addition, we are reiterating our call for a public inquiry because that is a process that has enough rigor to restore Canadians confidence and electoral system. In addition to letting Canadians know that we take the serious allegations against Canadians in general and against our
parliament seriously, we also know that there is an apathy around voting. Less and less Canadians are turning out to vote, and I think that foreign interference and electoral system does nothing to assuage that apathy. In fact, it might even contribute to it. So I really believe it is important to take this seriously and that's why we're putting forward this motion today. Don't care free DP

If you're not going to follow through
with with pulling the plug on the Confidence and Supply Agreement. What we're doing is we're forcing this government with a vote. We're forcing Parliament to decide on whether or not mister Johnson should continue. I think that's a serious question. Given the clear appearance of bias, we are putting before Canadians that it is no longer useful to have mister Johnson in that position, given the clear appearance of bidence, it's not going to restore confidence in electoral system. So we're
going to push for that. But I would question the approach of creating the conditions for an election or triggering an election as not serious about protecting our democracy. If we want to protect our democracy, I would think the approach should be let's put in place new measures. What are the new steps to protect against foreign inference? What are the new steps are going to be taken to
ensure that nomination meetings aren't being influenced, that MP's aren't being influenced. I would like to see a series of steps being taken, and that to me would show some real seriousness about protecting our electoral system. If it's just about a game to trigger an election, and then sure, mister Paulliams approaches tear it all down and have an election. I actually don't think this is a
game. I think this is serious. I want to make sure that there are steps in place that their recommendation is being followed that actually reinforce our democracy because for me, I don't want to see people believe in voting. I want to see people confident in voting, and I want to restore Canadians confidence in that. It's not about a game. For me, I want to continue to fight for a public choir because it's the right thing to do to
give Canadians the answers to questions. But I don't see how it's logical if the goal is to protector democracy to then trigger an election when we're worried about foreign interference. That because Conference on the Confience spoken with johnstonding to see Bathing, these maybe causes or used to come. The monkey excuse for see among the Confiance is way of Shemans sitting sitting on a on a preset concept.

So how can you then be so sure that he must step aside? What we're our concern is about the appearance of bias, and the appearance of bias is very important in our system when
it comes to judges, when it comes to independent decision makers. It's really clear right now when looking at the work of the Johnson that the chief or the principal lawyer, the lawyer that worked with mister Johnson in analyzing the documents and reviewing the evidence in meeting with people. This was the lawyer that met with me as well. It is very clear that her donation record since the early two thousands to present has been to donate to the Liberal Party in every
electoral or election year. That is a clear appearance of bias that undermines the efforts of mister Johnson. And again I don't believe it was appropriate for mister Pauli eff to be so personal an attacked mister Johnson, someone who's shown to be a credible person. But the appearance of bias is so strong at this point that it really does undermine the efforts of restoring Canadians confidence. The appearance
is what I'm talking about, and the appearance is very important. It's the appearance of these impartiality or partiality, biased or not biased that really impacts people's confidence in the decisions that are being taken. And with such a bias that very obvious now, or the appearance of such a bias, it makes it no longer tenable for mister Johnson to continue element shows public twenty soposit No confience was everybody don't know the protogene of a system the democracy jun common election dawns

We are forcing this government to deliver. There's not a threat here is there's a straight up agreement where we have forced this government to do a number of things dental care and we want to make sure dental care is delivered by the end of this year.
I've spoken with seniors that are living in pain because they can't afford to get their teeth fixed. In every province of this country, there are stories of seniors who cannot look after their teeth and are living in pain in their senior years where they should be living with dignity in respect, those seniors are going to be able to get their teeth looked after. If we look at what we're putting in place, it's going to help millions of Canadians and I want
to see that happen. That's what we're doing. We're forcing this government to deliver for Canadians. Were in fact, the government's supporting our demands. That's what's happening here. We demanded that there's dental care. The government's supporting us. We forced them to put in place a legal framework for farmingcare. We're
forcing them to support us. So that's what we're doing. And along the way, we're also criticizing when they're not doing what's necessary, and we're calling them to account when they're not doing what they should be doing, and we're using our power to do that. We're saying, mister Trudo, you're wrong not to declare a public inquiry. You can't just sweep this under the rug. Mister Johnson's work is no longer able to restore confidence because there's a clear
appearance of bias. So we're critical of the government and we're delivering for Canadians. That's what we're doing. Just on the albert Out election results, should you have intervened more or do you think your supply and confidence agreement with the Prime minister was a bit of a poison pill for Alberton's and the nDEP brand. But I think what would happened in Alberta. Of course, I'm disappointed
that we didn't form a new Democrat government. I think that's that's bad for Alberta, it's bad for Canada. Burns would have been better off with a new Democrat government with a premier. Nay, they would have been better off. But let's look at what happened here. This is a province where just a decade ago there was there was a single party system in Alberta. There was a Conservative Party and that's it. That was the landscape of politics.
Then there's three parties and in that three party split, New Democrats were able to win and then change the landscape of politics in Alberta in a phenomenal way. New Democrats won more seats the Conservatives law seats. They won seats in Calgary. People that have voted Conservative their entire lives and their families have voted
Conservative their entire lives, voted New Democrat. What Premier, what miss Naughtley did, former premier, but Miss Notley, what she did and what the New Democrat Party did in Alberta is changed the landscape of politics and created a two party system. Not too long ago, the entire number of opposition MP's was barely ten, and now the opposition in Alberta has firmly for two elections
in a row. A significant new Democrat presence. And uh, if you look at the results, thousands of votes separated new Democrats from actually forming government. Just just in the thousands of votes, that shows the force of new Democrats, and it shows a seismic land landscape shift in politics at Alberta.
And I want to acknowledge the hard work of all the new Democrats and Premier Notaly or former Premier Notaly and hopefully future Premier Notaly in achieving that Acacia Japonel, the Patine Democrat, the Madamila Montre EFFECTI sani to the la situation on Alberta Ya disan p prevois in until force not postion, come come madame not lect Alberta.
