Yes. Here's one that I called out: This is from Conservative MP Glen Motz. Some of you will have seen this. It is a tweet he put out on X on April 30 of this year. He wrote, “Trudeau decriminalized public use of crack, heroin & other hard drugs, resulting in a 380% increase in BC deaths”. That's a lie. I responded to him directly in my own post, citing BC Coroners Service data. I wrote, “This is a lie you are spreading. There has been no such increase”. In fact, the most recent data at that point was from February 2024, comparing February 2023 to February 2024. In those months, there was actually an 11% decrease in people who had died.
Those are the kinds of lies and misinformation we're talking about.
A second example I would give you is the lie that it's safer supply that is killing Canadians. That's a lie that has been perpetuated by the current leader of the Conservative Party Mr. Poilievre.
