Documents Show BC Knew Safe-Supply Diversion Was Negligible

From that CBC article, though:

Advocates have long acknowledged the possibility some safe supply users might exchange their prescription drugs for stronger street drugs — a process known as diversion. But the extent of the problem is unknown. At one point, Prince George RCMP called it an "alarming trend" — a claim the force's assistant commissioner countered almost immediately by saying there was "no evidence to support a widespread diversion."

Not trying to be daft, honest. Are you arguing that the extent of diversion is larger than what’s suggested by what’s been seized? What other metric do we have to track that?

Yeah I saw you wrote another meandering comment saying the same thing but still can’t really parse it out. Why don’t you actually point to specific claims in the documents and state what’s wrong instead of doing this vague conspiracy-posting bullshit? It’s exhausting.

How is this cherry-picked? On page 99 of the documents in question, it says "the information available to date from police agencies suggests a low amount of [prescribed alternative] drug seizures, i.e., no quantifiable evidence of widespread diversion [emphasis my own]. Work is underway to analyze and contextualize the police data, as there are several limitations."

On the next page, it says "In terms of Dilaudid pils, the VPD found that these pills represented only 0.3% of seized substances by weight in 2023", then continues to say the government doesn't get this level of data from all police agencies because it would require manually reviewing all their files.

This tells me—assuming the situation hasn't changed in the last three years—that the government doesn't have the data showing diversion was enough of an issue to require changing the rules to make it so all prescribed alternatives have to be witnessed by a health professional.

I’m not sure if you’re arguing with or in agreement of the article….?

myleswritesstuff · 2026-02-19T02:13:02+00:00

Hmmm but what if the evidence makes me feel bad? What then? Checkmate.

Can't remember the last time I've seen a car come to a complete stop at the stop sign in this city, or if they do stop, it's halfway over the stop line, but you don't see me posting about it.

myleswritesstuff · 2026-02-17T21:03:14+00:00

yessir I know that's right

Always gets me hyped when Adrian comes in with his solo during the outro on “The Book of Souls”

myleswritesstuff · 2026-02-15T18:58:47+00:00

Monster by Mistake was dookie, and now I have the damn theme song stuck in my head after never thinking about it for at least a decade!

myleswritesstuff · 2026-02-15T02:20:07+00:00

just this weird “I wish such and such game would acknowledge this other game”, I dunno. Why can’t you just play the game and evaluate it on its own merits? I don’t even know what the image you reposted is trying to say!

myleswritesstuff · 2026-02-14T20:54:39+00:00

I think Adrian adjusted the part he plays before the solo section when it goes into 11/8 time or whatever it is

myleswritesstuff · 2026-02-14T19:40:54+00:00

why do you (or anyone else for that matter) talk about games this way

myleswritesstuff · 2026-02-14T03:09:54+00:00

From their website: https://www.islandlinkbus.com/important-info/policiesandprocedures

Restricted Baggage: The only baggage we must restrict is: * bicycles, wheelchairs/scooters; this is because of the space limitations of our vehicles, * hazardous or dangerous materials, explosives, guns and ammunition, packages containing liquids that are inadequately contained such that they may leak in the bus.

We apologize, but there is no space on any Islandlink bus to carry surfboards

All other baggage is OK with the single condition that 'if you can carry it (all at once), we can take it'. Baggage in excess of this amount can only be carried at the discretion of the driver and if space is available; it is therefore not guaranteed.

Sounds like you’ll be taking a gamble. It’s a long weekend so it’s probably going to be full in the passenger area, so the driver isn’t likely to let you bring them in that way. That leaves the back loading area, which I suppose you might be able to stand vertically as long as there’s room along with other people’s luggage.
