Governments want to create "reservations" for drug users and we know how that's worked out with indigenous peoples.

The universal problem is that partisans/political camps stake their claims, and then they are not open to counter-evidence because that would mean 'losing', especially if the evidence supports the other political sides' preferred solutions. Us vs. them.

This phenomenon only gets worse with increasing polarization. It's also worse with highly unrepresentative levels of viewpoint diversity in the academy, legacy media, (see Professor Lee Jussim's and Heterodox Academy's work) etc. - two factors that contribute to a loss of bipartisan trust in these institutions.

Likewise, lack of viewpoint diversity unnecessarily exposes academia to this 'we cannot admit defeat' phenomena, and thus degrades the quality and reliability of research outputs or academic consensus.

I'm not saying this is happening here, but made me think, as this is much of what I write about myself on Substack

BILLIONS of our tax dollars wasted on destructive, heartless, dehumanization of vulnerable people. This is a matter of LIFE and DEATH but we’ve got officious, arrogant, out of touch politicians running the show here. This is what happens when people hand over their money and their vitally important affairs to big government. This is what we get when we don’t work together and take care of each other. This is tragic.

Yeup… how many millions every year do they spend annually just to ignore the findings in the end anyway. Maybe it’s billions annually?

$30 million for this study and $12 billion over 10 years for the ‘project.’

Shocking that a government agency wishes to run itself in the manner which is most convenient to itself and not those it exists to help. And by shocking I mean should be shocking, but is business as usual.

And he was foolish not to expect that to happen. If those files are destroyed then that’s him.

Only a fool would expect B.C. Judiciary to be just / fair / reasonable.

Shame on him for not copying those files as soon as possible.

I was thinking the same. It seems preposterous to imagine no one else has a copy seeing as others worked in it, especially cross borders.

The information is out there that’s not the issue. The issue is they didn’t like the conclusion so they omitted it.

They want easy to manage solitons that are convenient for government oversight.

If he was publicly declaring being victimized, and did not assure those who he hoped to gain support from that he - did - then why would we assume he had?

Blaming the victim doesn't help

No one is blaming the victim. The researcher absolutely should have had the sense to save years worth of important work. Let's hope he did and is staying mum.

Blaming him for the crime, or blaming him for his stupidity afterwards?

This is basically a postmodern form of human sacrifice. The cabal running BC needs the steady stream of corpses to fuel their depraved appetite.

Your first clue should be the government running a “Data Innovation Program”.

Destroy the data... Group Housing is not effective... Anyone starting to make any correlations here? Agenda 21, Global Totalitarian Regime, 15 minute cities...of course they want the truth gone, they aren't getting ready to heal people they are getting ready to imprison us! The Globalist Agenda doesn't have room for things like healing the homeless and the drug addicted, the Elderly and the sick, we are "Useless Eaters" according to the New World Order why would they spend a single cent on helping a group of people that are going to eventually (sooner than later) be decarbonized? Wake up friends!

Please stop spreading misinformation and assuming that politicians are smarter than you.

Your fearmongering over "15 minute cities" is just being afraid of having neighbors and social responsibilities in a community due to being alienated from the concept by our exploratitive capitalist society.

People are easier to manipulate if they're hours apart, not 15 minutes apart. Think about it.

He should not have destroyed the database and should have hired a lawyer as soon as receiving the letter.

The bureaucracy does not want to solve the problem. That would put them out of business. Keeping the drug users dependent on government is their business model.

Most interesting. Now, who stands to make the money from those new shelters the BC government wants to build? There's the real villain in this piece.

The homeless population is up 12 percent I believe, since Biden. Way to go Bidenomics. What a legacy... What legacy... Worse president in the history of the country... How are those pardons going? Just another lie, all day long, since he started his racist position. My, my how times have changed. Liars always lie. Time to realize reality.

Group housing for people with addictions or mental health issues is absolutely disastrous. They need to be autonomous and live life like regular folk. They have a much better chance of recovering and staying clean or mentally healthy.

Yep.

And it’s conclusive. They just absolutely refuse to do anything about it.
