  How will this reduce deaths ?
context: It’s British Columbia. Why not put it in the headline, cbs news? >
  
  probably because people are not likely to know BC by name >
  
  Really? It's home to over 5 million people. If people say Queensland, or New South Wales, or Oaxaca, or Bavaria, or Sicily, I know where those places are. Is Canada just an especially unknown place? This seems surprising. >
  
  A lot of people won't know where those places are either. >
  
  A lot of people are just self centered and assume that everyone has the same perspective that they do. How many people have heard of Wuhan before 2019? It’s got a population of 12 million people. >
  
  The audience CBS News caters to however should know something about British Columbia, such as what country it's in. >
  
  CBS caters to anyone with a pulse, it's not some special news organization catering to the geographically minded. The average American has about as much reason to know about British Columbia as knowing about Chiapas, it's just not a topic that comes up in daily life. >
  
  Very interested to see if this works. >
  
  Since 2020 they’ve not been prosecuting minor drug offences.  The only difference is that now police won’t confiscate drugs. >
  
  So it’s not working. >
  
  I work in downtown Surrey, and ANYTHING to help welcome. We have so many deaths in that area.
