The \u0027gatekeepers\u0027 against whom Poilievre rails are not only politicians and bureaucrats. Powerful private actors have played a role, as well

Apart from the policy prescription — favouring the Alberta treatment model over the British Columbia “harm reduction” model — the political play was to generate a contrast with “elite” opinion. It’s an argument with punch: the government provides free illegal drugs to those suffering from addiction while ordinary families face a shortage of children’s pain medication.

The villains are well known: doctors who over-prescribed, pharmaceutical companies that became drug pushers and, to be very specific, McKinsey & Company, the global management consultancy. Then there is McKinsey. The epitome of the international “creative class” that has prospered mightily these last decades, it had its own

Gangster consulting — whether it be for Big Pharma or Chinese Communists — is a form of gatekeeping, too.

It’s amazing that some people still believe that pharmaceutical companies are driven by the best interests of humanity instead of good old fashion greed mixed with plenty of corruption.

3rd leading cause of death is reaction to prescription drugs… far more deaths than Covid.. docs hand out opioids like it’s candy.. no accountability.

What’s the matter with all you Fake News Gatekeepers? iT’s AlL TrUdEaUs FaUlT.

Was there a deliberate campaign by pharmaceutical companies to 'start the opioid crisis'?

As long as you're not forced to take their products, there's personal responsibility involved.

you forget a bid part of it the doctors who prescribe and then people become addicted

Devastating critique. Excellent.

“Safe and effective” for pain relief.

The main problem, like the FDA in the US, Health Canada is now funded by Pharma. There not on our side.

Lol but forget the pharmaceutical companies that have lawsuits against them pushing endless vaccines 🤡🤡

It's beyond the cpc to criticize a corporation except when it's convenient to Slagle the LPc

Or the organizations. That give away needles pipes and user gear. These free give aways, act like weapons of mass destruction. They've caused more harm than guns and rifles

Hopefully he won’t forget the COVID vaccine SUDDEN DEATH CRISIS either. Have you noticed? 😉 😢😢

No offence to the insect but PiPo is a butterfly, flitting from topic to topic, making a pronouncement and moving right on. As long as he gets likes in a platform his team are reassured of his greatness. Does he develop policies to improve Canadians lives - naah that doesn't sell

Dr's frivolously prescribing had nothing at all to do with it 🙄

And now it continues by China flooding the west coast with Fentanyl
