"Health board chair Joe Cressy says Friday’s numbers set a devastating record for the city and he’s calling on all levels of government to invest in solutions."

No talk about "root causes" when it comes to these deaths, because they know one of the major root causes and it doesn't fit the narrative. So they skip right by root cause and get to the weasle-phrase "invest in solutions."

This is all politician talk. Small, despicable, ineffective, talk-in-circles garbage.
