Confronting Fear-Based Politics – Drug Policy, Borders and Migration

In times of uncertainty, politicians scapegoat marginalized communities—blaming groups like migrants and people who use drugs for complex societal challenges. From the creation of a "fentanyl czar" to Bills C-2 and C-12, and Canada’s complicity with the United States’ extra-judicial killings of civilians in international waters, fear-mongering rhetoric around both drug policy and migration is driving deadly and wasteful decisions in government. Join the Canadian Drug Policy Coalition for a critical webinar exploring: 1. The intersections of drug policy and migration 2. The human rights and civil liberties at stake with Bills C-2 and C-12, and their impacts on refugees, immigrants, and people who use drugs 3. Why the criminalization of drug use persists and who benefits 4.
