Decriminalization in Vancouver - Delivering What Canadians Were Promised?
In this episode of TPL Media, Mike Wixson is joined by crime journalist Jeremy Grimaldi to examine the real-world impact of decriminalization and safe supply policies in British Columbia.
The original goal was to reduce stigma, prevent overdoses, and shift addiction toward treatment rather than incarceration. But if overdose deaths remain high, public disorder increases, and access to treatment still lags — is the policy actually working?
Mike and Jeremy discuss:
– Overdose trends in Vancouver
– Public safety and street-level disorder
– The role of safe injection sites
– Treatment access and recovery gaps
– Whether decriminalization has met expectations
This is a serious conversation about policy, accountability, and what comes next for British Columbia and the rest of Canada.
