B.C. plans to give 'safer supply' fentanyl to minors. And parents won't have a say

In what constitutes a clear trampling of parental rights, British Columbia recently authorized the provision of “safer supply” fentanyl to youth across the province, regardless if parents are informed of, or agree to, this measure.

While the B.C. government generally promotes its commitment to safer supply, it was oddly silent in this instance. I became aware of the new protocols only because two concerned addiction physicians contacted me shortly after their publication.

As there has been zero media coverage of this development — excluding a report I authored for the Macdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI), published last month — the provincial government has been able to ramp up the distribution of “safe” fentanyl with almost no public scrutiny.

This is a shame, as the new protocols are full of red flags, including a jarring near-absence of safeguarding measures when giving fentanyl to minors, to say nothing of the obvious ethical issues around underage consent.

I just don't even know what to say anymore.

Children being given drugs without parents being informed or consenting. Additive narcotics no less.

And the left thinks this is just perfectly ok and that parents have no rights and schools and doctors should be deciding what happens with children.

Our society is basically lost.
