Safe-supply is going to be a tough sell.
Especially now when really, we're just trying to keep the health care system limping along in its current form, we're not really in a position to characterize it as a leader in this type of Health Care reform.
Its a tough and complex issue. But BC is going to decriminalize personal-use amounts pretty quickly here and I guess we'll see how that goes? Maybe thats the next step?

I don’t know if decriminalization of personal-use amounts is effective. It’s obviously not a deterrent now, and it’s not going to prevent deaths from tainted drugs. Just legalize the whole shebang and eliminate the sketchy drug supply.
And Calgary could use some supervised consumption sites, which I think is just the result of the Province being daft in some bid to pit people against each other. Let the drug consumption in public spaces get so out of control that everyone starts spitting vitriol at the drug users and then they can just employ whatever draconian measures they want to deal with the issue.
