But the food bank line question is, will he take a run at the party leadership?

That sure gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

Our community is filled with doughheads....Gord is possibly the least intelligent member in Parliment. Just watch him in comitee. God help Canada. "Our"PM is a charter WEF member and a Banker. greasy and Controlling. The next couple years it will be hard to hide from the independant media, Thus he will have to hide his conduct through legislation. One only need look to the lies he told surrounding the Convoy in his op-ed article printed by the ever obiedient MSM. Best of luck fellow Canadians. We really f^&*ed up this time. Canada was a great idea.

🤣 com-mit-tees aside, who would have been a better alternative for our riding? Gord puts in the work, knows this area well, does actual outreach in Indigenous communities, and has gotten things done. No, he's not Harvard- and Oxford-educated. Who of us is?

Jan. 24), MP Gord Johns made an appearance at the unsanctioned overdose prevention site (OPS) at the North Island Hospital Comox Valley in Courtenay to commend the groups on their activity and raise awareness for the cause.

Johns stated he was behind them in their fight for OPS’s in the community.

The unsanctioned OPS has been up since Monday (Jan. 20), by the Doctors for Safer Drug Policy and Moms Stop the Harm groups. They have spent the week on the outskirts of the hospital grounds, with a tent and signs promoting their cause.

While speaking with Dr. Eva Hemmerich, an addiction and family medicine physician in the Valley and one of the doctors leading the charge for the unsanctioned OPS at the hospital. Johns voiced his support.

“You don’t need to convince me, there is no one else in Canada, in Ottawa, speaking more about this issue than me. I’m on board,” said Johns.

Hemmerich and Johns engaged in a lengthy discussion about harm reduction, safe supply, OPS and treatment options available.

Gord voted along party lines 100% of the time. The NDP voted in favour of Liberal policies 95% of the time. The free programs that were the trade off are part of the 68 billion dollar deficit in 2024. A deficit that is projected to increase by billions more each year. Please do explain Gord’s accomplishments.

From Alberni News : Courtenay-Alberni MP Gord Johns was “super disappointed” Wednesday when the federal government rejected his private members bill, C-216, to create a national health-based strategy for the toxic drug crisis that has claimed the lives of 27,000 Canadians in the last six years.

The bill aimed to legislate a health-based approach to substance use, and to reduce the stigma to enable those who use drugs to seek help.

“It’s heart-breaking,” said Johns, the NDP’s critic for mental health and harm reduction. “The Liberals continue to take this piecemeal approach to the toxic drug crisis. It’s the leading killer, cause of death, for people 19-39 in B.C. More than suicide, car accidents and homicides put together.”

Sixteen Liberals voted in favour of sending the bill through to the committee stage for further study. In the end, Wednesday’s vote was 71 yay, 248 nay.

Johns said the Liberals have chose to ignore the recommendations of Health Canada’s task force on substance use — which Bill C-216 reflects. His proposal would have followed evidence and advice of public health experts to decriminalize personal possession, expunge criminal records and create a national substance use strategy to provide a low barrier, regulated safe supply.

Any bets that Gord and a few of the other elected NDP cross the floor and join the liberals to give them a majority?

Ralph Tieleman said...

They will form a coalition just like last time .

Bloc guy has already said he'll work in the "responsible" way with the Liberals, so Carney don't need the NDP, Gord has far far less influence than even Jagmeet had. A total irrelevant.

time to continue the shutdown of parliament until those documents Trudeau failed to produce are brought forward

Different topic: but it's a good thing we have a seasoned professional at the helm of our health care system. Josie will have this talked about and discarded in a couple days.

"B.C. to overhaul mental health law following deadly attack in Vancouver. Premier David Eby says the province will launch a review of the Mental Health Act after a man who had been previously detained under the law was charged with eight counts of second-degree murder for the attack. The law outlines how people with mental illnesses are treated when they’re at risk of harming themselves or others."

Carney just stated this am that he will not be working with the current NDP thus Gord had no voice in Ottawa. The FN is not short of Cash or handouts.

So who will be fired for this massive failure and lives lost?

The minister of health will address this issue by saying "let's have that conversation" while pretending to write what someone is saying in a notebook. A week later, after waiting in vain for the results of the conversation, everyone will move on to a different disaster…..... Like what happens after a bad car accident. In other government circles if someone dies, for example the Kennedy lake highway incident with two ER attendants, the government poured millions of dollars into rectifying that stretch of road so it couldn't happen again.
