Archie died on June 29, 2019 when he unknowingly took fentanyl. He was 19. Archie’s death was preventable.
In October, Canadians will go to the polls to choose a federal government. In the time between Archie’s death and the election, I’m reminding the candidates that fentanyl is killing us. There is so much more that the federal government can be doing.

You need to ask the candidates where they stand on this tainted drug crisis, too. Your questions for the candidates during this election will tell them that they need to do more to address fentanyl, opioids and the poisoned drug crisis in Canada.
Questions to ask the candidates
- What will you and your party do to address the overdose crisis in Canada?
- Where do you and your party stand on the decriminalization of personal possession of illicit drugs?
- Where do you and your party stand on providing safe supply of prescription grade substances in order to stop the preventable overdose deaths from tainted illicit drugs in this country?
- Where do you and your party stand on harm reduction measures such as naloxone, harm reduction supply distribution and supervised consumption services?
These questions were put together by Moms Stop the Harm. See more from the Friends of Archie about Canadian drug policy and the 2019 election.
