Poilievre trying to “score political points” off the “tragedy of opioids”: Freeland

Though Poilievre refrained from calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a “wacko” and getting himself kicked out of the House of Commons again, he continued to press the federal government on Monday during question period, to end a three-year pilot project in British Columbia.
The three-year pilot project began in January 2023 and decriminalizes possession of small amounts of certain illegal drugs — including heroin, fentanyl, and methamphetamine — however, a recent spike in overdose deaths and public disorder has resulted in public outcry to reverse the policy.
“It has now been ten days and 60 dead British Columbians since the government of that province has asked the Prime Minister to reverse his deadly and radical legalization of crack, heroin and other hard drugs in children's parks, hospitals and transit. Why will he not reverse his radical agenda?” Poilievre queried.
While Freeland said the federal government is “addressing” the issues with the B.C. government, she added that it is “absolutely abhorrent” of Poilievre to use the crisis for his own political gain.

I find the title of your article rather disingenuous. I think a majority of us do not like this poison put out in the streets. The way you worded the question sounds like a political point of view.Vice pointing out the factual content of the article. Please just provide me with the information and not to frame the narrative.
