Addressing the Opioid Crisis in Canada: Overdose Focus

The opioid crisis in Canada has led to a significant increase in opioid-related overdoses and deaths, homelessness rates, and crime. Efforts to combat the crisis include promoting the use of naloxone, class action lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies, and increased funding for homelessness intervention and mental health services.
