Show Notes

Drugs and addiction have reached a crisis level in Canada, with overdose deaths on the rise and seemingly no community immune to the problem. This is in spite of a continued expansion of "harm reduction," a policy involving a range of interventions, from supervised drug use sites to the distribution of so-called "safe supply" of drugs.

In this edition of The Andrew Lawton Show, True North's Andrew Lawton discusses with National Post columnist Adam Zivo, addiction psychologist Dr. Julian Somers, and addiction medicine consultant Dr. Sharon Koivu.
