About this episode
The episode reflects on Justin Trudeau's legacy regarding the drug war in Canada and the impact of overdose deaths.
It’s the end of an era in Canada. On March 10th – after nine years in power – Mark Carney replaced Justin Trudeau as Canada’s Prime Minister. We mark the occasion by looking back at Trudeau’s legacy on the drug war: over 50,000 preventable overdose deaths. And we struggle to describe how this epidemic of death and grief has changed us and our movement. Share Post reddit Email
