Poilievre shows a shocking level of ignorance regarding the opioid epidemic, which was started by the Sackler family and Purdue, and aided by 100s of unethical doctors. How are Liberals responsible for an American family's unbridled greed? “They want me to stop talking about the overdose crisis Liberals caused that has taken the lives of 50,000 people. I will not stop talking about that” Poilievre said as he peddled very obvious disinformation. #opioids #purdue #sacklers https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/doug-fords-campaign-manager-accuses-poilievre-camp-of-campaign-malpractice/

After years of litigation that delayed payments designed to combat the national opioid crisis, Purdue Pharma and the billionaire Sackler family who own it agreed to pay $7.4 billion to settle lawsuits over the opioid manufacturer’s role in the crisis and give up their company ownership #opioid #Drugs #Sacklers #overdosecrisis #overdose #deaths https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/health/sacklers-purdue-settlement-opioids.html
Even though this settlement deal represents nearly 2/3 of the Sackler's wealth, they will still be billionaires.

Purdue Pharma agrees to pay billions to settle OxyContin opioid crisis impact lawsuit
Fucking monsters, still not in prison.

And billionaire philanthropy is so performative—their names are ALWAYS emblazoned on the buildings (e.g. the #Sacklers), charitable foundations (#BillGates has entered the chat), and press releases announcing their good deeds. True philanthropy is humble, elevating the recipient, not the donor. #JimmyCarter is a great example.
Harvard says, blood money or not, it all spends the same.

U.S. Supreme Court to hear legal challenge to deal for Sackler family (owners of Purdue Pharma) that will allow them to pay $6 billion to evade future liability for lawsuits over opioid epidemic that killed hundreds of thousands.

@pluralistic the #Sacklers didn’t kill as many Appalachians as Big Coal but it wasn’t for lack of effort. And the two worked in tandem, of course. #BigPharma
It's not merely that the #Sacklers - - a multigenerational, ultra-wealthy drug-pusher dynasty - made billions while murdering hundreds of thousands of Americans by lying about the safety of #Oxycontin, the flagship product of their #PurduePharma drug company. *It's that they got away with it*.

This shit is pissing me off.... How the hell do you agree to block civil lawsuits against a group of drug pushers when any (much tamer) street drug dealer gets jail time and heavy prosecution. These jack asses literally sold heroin to desperate people and they did so knowingly. The Sackler family should be charged with involuntary manslaughter for every person that died as a result of their willful ignorance and serve jail time..... The working class doesn't get passes, why should they?
