I live in BC, I am sick of seeing what looks like someone dead on a bus stop.

Say what you want, but Pierre Poilievre is absolutely correct. BC must reverse course, and Toronto must never allow this stupid program to come into their city. It's bloody ridiculous.

how can they smoke drugs in places where you cannot smoke tobacco

well I will be damned the first honest thing Global has done in 5 years.

You need serious help if you think we should resolve this opioid crisis by giving addicts more drugs

I liked this video for the simple fact that Global News actually interviewed Pierre Poilievre.

I live in Victoria BC and had to take someone downtown to the Ministry od Social Development office. We had to walk through a row of addicts smoking meth/crack!! I kept the baby with me while she had to walk through that, into the office by herself. SINGLE MOTHERS WITH THEIR CHILDREN have to visit that office. THIS IS BEYOND UNACCEPTABLE.

Hire back all the trained nurses the NDP fired! Let's start with that....

I'm an immigrant of 20yrs in Canada, the country has gone massively downhill under Trudeau. I truly believe our only chance is to elect Pierre in a massive majority.

This is an excellent interview - I hope 41M Canadians watch this and listen very close

The only reason B.C. doesn't have enough nurses is they won't hire them back.

It would be much better to fund more affordable rehab facilities than to give free drugs.

Pierre you've got this, don't change a thing, Canadian's believe in you and the Conservative Party and Canadian's have never been more determined to end this current rogue government and we will, in record number's, with a Conservative Majority Government 👏👏👏👏👏

Eby and Trudeau need to go.

I live in BC and when schools are going on lockdown because drug addicts are coming in weilding knives and creating chaos, we have a problem. Burning buildings down, taking peoples livelihoods away from them, we have a problem. Our children becoming desensitized to seeing someone overdosing on the street, it is just now a normal day to day thing they see, we have a problem. We can't keep going down this path...a change is needed.

Now people from B.C ,I hope you think before you vote NDP again. Please 🙏

Yesterday, I rode my bicycle in Toronto Downtown. I saw many people acting like nuts consuming drugs right in front of me. Toronto Downtown looks like third world city with crime every where.

We’ve never been to Victoria. We visited it a couple of weeks ago and spent a couple of days downtown. The druggies downtown were disturbing and takes away from what I believe is a place Canada should be proud of. We probably won’t go back.

Thank you for actually doing journalism here! Good job Pierre! Treatment for addiction is the only way.

God Bless Mr. Poilievre for fighting for common sense drug reform. The drug epidemic in London Ontario is unbelievable. This isn’t the Canada of 10 years ago.

A major protest happened in Vancouver today over affordable housing. Canadians are waking up! Finally. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦👍👍👍❤️

Has Global asked Jagmeet for his position in decriminalized hard drugs in NDP BC? Should be instantly revealing about what side of the fence he really sits. That, to me would be interesting news.

I finally feel like watching Global if this continues-this felt more like news and reporting!! Actually talking/interviewing without some sort of media agenda. We the listener could be informed and make our own decisions about core concerns in our country.

Pierre makes me proud to be Canadian again. He will be an excellent Prime Minister.

i live on vancouver island . we have had enough . long time ago

Thank you Pierre for having a voice for mental health (addiction), health care, general public, crimes….ripple effect. It’s refreshing to have a Canadian leader that is for healing mental health not feeding it with drugs. Prescription drugs are very addictive and many families have endured hardship with this. Thank you for common sense caring :). BC VOTE COMMON SENSE CONSERVATIVES FOR HOPE! AXING THE TAX! BUILDING HOMES! JAIL TIME FOR CRIME! FREEDOM!!

I have been watching all Pierre debates in the parliament since 2020. So, he is the only person who deserves to be the Canadian PM.

The problem is bigger than usage and rehab. The society as a whole has gone down hill as has the government. Dog eat dog, every person for themselves. Homeless and addicts on the streets are just a visible symptom of the underlying spiritual issue. Loss of hope. Nobody wants to be homeless or addicted. Corruption and wickedness is heart condition. It permeates society at all levels. Unfortunately those on the bottom suffer and perish first.

I used to work for a homeless shelter and in my city (we have 3 main male shelters and many smaller female shelters, it was contemplated in 2008-09 by the local and provincial government which also had the BC government coming to our city speaking of the wonders of "safe injection sites etc". At the time, as I was counselling the homeless and helping them to get off the street, I said it was a bad idea. Enabling an addict is the worst form of abuse any organization can have on a society.

I gotta be honest, living in Vancouver, I figured decriminalizing drugs was kind of a moot point. People already used openly and recklessly. But now you can literally walk down a street covered in vape level clouds of drug smoke just flowing through the air. It got worse. It’s a miracle of epic proportions in all of the worst ways imaginable. But this actually made the DTES worse. It’s a weird issue because regardless of one’s politics, most people have always been pretty on board with not being able to smoke crack in a kids park. Strange times we are living in.

I see it almost every day, drug addicts doing drugs in the pathway leading to my local soccer fields. Children playing soccer can see this and its wrong on several levels. This is what is happening in BC.

Oregon also did this decriminalization experiment in the USA and it was a complete disaster.

I just hate Activist Journalists. Give back the money and get out of Canada. China will welcome you.

I'm conservative party member And I support Pierre Poilievre!

No drug and alcohol abuse in the world would be a total different world.

Oregon's decriminalization of drugs failed miserably and now they are telling us here in Canada NOT to repeat their biggest mistake with this form of legislation!!

That crap should’ve never been legalized including pot!!!

I called the police on Wednesday this week to report what appeared to be an overdose adjacent to the main road leading toward the border crossing to the USA in Cornwall, Ontario. A man of middle age in clean clothes and without any sign of homelessness was laying on the sidewalk with both hands grasping his head and covering his eyes, he was rocking back and forth on the ground. There was no way to stop my car without blocking traffic so I pulled over at a car wash about 800 meters up the road and called the police. After waiting through 5 or 6 minutes of recorded bilingual options, and another several minutes listening to a self-stroking speech about government and police DEI initiatives and objectives, a human woman came on the line. I barely got to inform her what I was calling about when she cut me off and said she would transfer me to the ambulance. After waiting on what sounded like dead air for several minutes, another woman came on the line. I once again described the issue and the location. This second woman had no clue of the location; apparently they don't have google maps at the ambulance service. It turns out, she was in Ottawa, an hour away, not in Cornwall. She indicated she had to ask me over a dozen questions I informed her I could not answer as I was 800 meters from the person in distress- that took another minute and a half, maybe two. So, the citizen possibly dying in the street waited while our laughably inept government figured out how to use the alleged automated reporting system costing untold hundreds, of millions of taxpayer dollars. The entire process took 10 minutes...next time I will call 911 and see if that circus performs better. I am not optimistic though, the only time I had to call that line, after being pursued by an aggressive driver trying to literally force me into a ditch, they told me 'it was no big deal'. Your government loathes you citizens, were it not for your wallets they would not give you the time of day.

Decriminalizing in a society that still held values of responsibility and accountability MIGHT work...but we have a society now in which no one's bad choices result in any external consequence. So--sadly--thousands let themselves drift to the very worst potential of their life, knowing someone or some group will keep them alive (food, clothes, a tent). EVERYONE needs guidelines and boundaries to succeed in life!

I live 30mins away from downtown east side in Vancouver. It’s sickening to see what poverty and drugs are doing to our brothers and sisters. Feeding these folks more drugs isn’t the answer. They need help and a way out of the hell hole.

Thank you Pierre Poilievre , I love common sense, I love Canada too 🇨🇦 ❤

Anyone with half a brain knew this was doomed from the start. Handing out free drugs to addicts was a death sentence. Treatment and support during recovery from drug use ,like any other addiction is the only hope.

I live in BC and there is a tug of war for 1st. responders, between public emergencies and drug users. Our health care is stressed enough without the added risk of source exposure.

Common sense conservatives never made more sense. Go Pierre! 🇨🇦

hats off to the interviewer and Global news on this interview very well done. Pierre for PM asap

First time in a while, thumbs up for global

That’s my first global news LIKE in a long time. Let’s see more Pierre. He can answer a questions, speak without yelling and has a profound dislike for Trudeau.

New Prime Minister Pierre Poilievre ❤🙏🛡

Pierre is the real thing. He genuinely cares about Canadians. Anybody voting for anyone else needs to get off their drugs.

We need to do what Afghanistan does with their drug rehabilitation it is like being in jail they round them up off the streets and they can't leave until they are well ,not like ours check in and leave when you feel like it

What is going on with the people of this beautiful country it's a sad state.

Best Talk Ever. Thank You Global for the great Interview. Pierre that was what we needed thank you. Much Appreciation...

*Get rid of Bonnie Henry* Alberta was smart to get rid of her, but she crawled over to BC.

There so many lies I lost track.

I 100% agree with Mr. Poilievre. He should be our Prime Minister. Trudeau always said that he wants to help the middle class family in fact Trudeau brought the middle class to poverty.

How about we take the money spent on 'safe supply' drugs and distribution and put it towards recovery? That's not even taking into account the millions spent on ODs in hospitals and thousands of police calls in relation to drug related violence and crime.

❤️ Go Pierre Go ❤️ Fantastic interview!! About time Global!!

This was so good to see!! ❤ Much better way for the news and the message!

Bonnie Henry has done more damage, and caused more harm than any other health care professional in the history of BC.

it's an extension of the liberal MAID program

Thankyou Global for this interview.

What ever happened to common sense in Canada and around the world

Treatment and recovery for an addict starts when he isn't labeled a criminal for drug use

Pierre has common sense that’s the difference .

Make methadone programs actually ween people down and off. There are people who have been getting government methadone for thirty years.

I live in Ottawa Ontario. downtown down the street from parliament hill rideau center. So shameful I want to just leave Ottawa so bad it's . I feel for them but yet it's like another world it's bad. I'm going to start a podcast just to prove my point. Thanks Justin

I’m from Calgary and I visited Vancouver for the first time last year. I was in awe by how many druggies were in the streets, and I didn’t suspect it because I always pictured Vancouver as a big wonderful city. My best friend wanted us to hang out again, but I told her that I didn’t want to go to Vancouver. Instead we went to Victoria which was very beautiful and had a nice ambiance, people there were very friendly and cool!

PP FOR PM !

OMG! I was in Pizza Pizza last week downtown Ottawa on Rideau Street. A drug infused person came in half-naked, demanded pizza. He then kicked in the window from the outside. I was at the cash waiting for my slice. Trudeau has blinders on.

PP for PM! 🇨🇦

Here is a wake up call, I live in a small town in eastern Ontario and we have a Conservative MP and Conservative MPP and homeless and drug overdoses are absolutely sky rocketing, it has become a no go zone for anyone but drug addicts. I am a Conservative, but I cannot deny that my town is completely rotten and not safe for anyone but drug addicts. I'm questioning my alliance to these enablers. Health care has completely collapsed here too, drug addicts come first in emergency rooms, they are the absolute priority of everyone and everything. All white males being led down this drug addiction path, it seems by design at this point.

Not Justin B.C. it’s everywhere. New Brunswick people are doing the same things.

🙏 Pierre Poilievre 4 PM 🇨🇦 🙏Thank you Deputy CPC Leader Melissa Lantsman 🇨🇦 🙏Axe The Tax! 🙏 🙏Spike The Hike! 🙏 🙏Stop the crime! 🙏

Pierre, try giving a non-partisan response ... your answers are robotic, and needlessly partisan.

Pierre was right every answer was straight forward. Very smart answer.

Thanks Pierre. Wow!!!

That is how a leader and Prime Minister acts. Pierre for Prime Minister! Enough of the Trudeau/NDP regime.

Took my wife and two daughters (21 and 19) to BC to celebrate my wife's 50th Birthday last week. Found a cool restaurant within walking distance from our hotel, so we stopped in. It was Sunday evening and the place was deserted. When we were seated, the waitress asked my daughters for two pieces of ID. They each produced their Ontario issued driver's license, but the waitress said she need two pieces of ID. I calmly explained that both my daughters were only having water so what's the problem, and she told me "Sir, that's BC law". We left. I think our next trip will be back to Canmore/Banff.

All one needs to do is walk downtown Vancouver to see what Trudeau and the NDP have caused. Trudeau and Jagmeet should have to spend a week living on the street with the drug addicts and homeless to see just how bad it is. Maybe then Trudeau would finally understand that correcting the drug problem in our streets is FAR MORE important than his personal campaign to tie Pierre to Diagalon. He needs to give that a rest already. Focus on what matters!!!!

Thank you pierre for helping drug addicts not killing them giving them taxpaid drugs thst is so wrong

Canada need the Pierre Poilievre I had a Chance for 2 timed talk to him in person in my opinion he is respectful and humble person and also he listened to my concerns about Canada and he promised to fix it, I do trust Pierre Poilievre more than Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh.

Friend A...brother just died from complications of drug abuse. FRIEND B.... son is now homeless from addiction. FRIEND C... teenage son's brain was fried from too many drugs. Good news is he just came out of rehab. THAT's WHERE our TAX DOLLARS should go!

It was a pretty good interview, and it was nice to him clear the air on the "not withstanding clause" as what's being paraded around.

Be strong Pierre!! The LPC is the most illicit “government” we’ve ever had. If they don’t like a legitimate and valid law they simply redefine the words and carry on. Hard Drugs have always been a source of death. Canada needs to protect its citizens.

This is how a real leader speaks.

Czechia, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Switzerland are among a handful of countries where decriminalization works.

I’ve got the hole dug. Cmon over JT

I am sick of the way he speaks with ZERO Plans in how he will help things and he uses terms like "liberal talking points". I want a leader who is going to help and who is not just going to be using buzz words.

PIERRE POILIEVRE PM 2025

My town is seeing this happening for the last 4 years! People are ODing daily…

Thank you Pierre, please put an end to this madness, health care workers are exposed hazardous chemicals and violence on every level.

Rehab before free drugs

Pierre Poilievre is unfit to serve as Prime Minister of Canada 🇨🇦

Why isn't the independent media not fact checking this guy?

Don’t know where you live but here in British Columbia. It’s exactly what’s going on.

Got to love Pierre,

This guy is already my Prime Minister even though he's not just yet.

I watched a young women on Victoria Street Kamloops BC standing at a light crossing bend over in half stoned out of her mind. I past there an hour later, she was still there. So stoned she couldnt move. Walking dead thats what I call them. I really disagree with this decriminalization pilot. Free drugs are not the solution. I know a person that laughs about the free drugs or regulated drugs she gets, she says its a bonus for her daily drugs she buys. Its disgusting. The average person is fed up with this twisted way that the government thinks drugs is ok.

Finally a real journalist that has courage to host that interview. Wow bravo!

wow a good fair interview from canada media
