This powerful examination of the ongoing opioid health crisis in Canada highlights the alarming rise of Fentanyl, an opioid more potent and deadly than any previous street drug. While the SARS epidemic in 2003 prompted a significant mobilization of resources after 44 deaths, the opioid crisis has claimed over 100 times that number between 2016 and 2017, yet the response has been inadequate. The victims of this crisis are often marginalized individuals, but they also include professionals, students, parents, and healthcare workers—people we might not expect. Despite the staggering number of deaths, these individuals have largely remained invisible. Benjamin Perrin, a law and policy expert from Vancouver, shines a light on this urgent issue, challenging assumptions about opioid users and the underlying factors driving the crisis. He addresses critical questions about Fentanyl's usage, its origins, and the barriers to stopping its spread. This urgent and compassionate exploration sheds light on the worst health crisis in recent history, urging Canadians to confront the reality of the situation and reconsider their perceptions of those affected.
