Alcohol causes 7 known fatal cancers. That’s on top of the deaths, accidents, DUI’s, injuries, FASD, dependency, depression, domestic violence, suicides, physical and other mental health issues alcohol consumption directly causes. In 🇨🇦, we have a $6Billion alcohol deficit, meaning it costs taxpayers more money for the harms alcohol causes to society vs the revenues they generate. Alcohol also causes more harm than opioids and all other substances combined. This shows the power the alcohol lobby and industry have on elected politicians. All for profit at the health expense of their own consumers. Why does the alcohol industry get a free pass? #EnableTheLabel #TheTruthAboutAlcohol #cancer

80% of Canadians drink alcohol. Only approximately 25% of Canadians are aware of the causal link between alcohol consumption and 7 known fatal cancers, including breast and colon cancers. 100% of Canadians have the #RightToKnow in the name of greater public health awareness. Tobacco and Cannabis companies have warning labels. Why do the alcohol lobby and industry get a free pass from warning their own consumers? #EnableTheLabel #TheTruthAboutAlcohol #cancer

For those interested, I’m happy to share my Bill, #S202(cancer warning labels on alcoholic products) has been referred to a Senate committee for further study today. This is an important step in the legislative process. 🪶 #EnableTheLabel #TheTruthAboutAlcohol #cancer

For those interested, here’s my short 2nd Reading Speech(floor language) on Bill #S202(cancer warning labels on 🍺 🍷 🍹 ) products in Canada🪶🇨🇦 #EnableTheLabel #TheTruthAboutAlcohol #cancer

In Canada, my team and I have just introduced 2 Bills in the Senate: Bill #S202(cancer warning labels on alcoholic products) just like we have for tobacco and cannabis products; and Bill #S203(the prohibition of alcohol advertising in 🇨🇦) just like we have for tobacco and cannabis products. Why do alcohol companies get a free pass from having to warn their own consumers and Canadian citizens that alcohol consumption causes 7 fatal known cancers? 🤔 Its a start. Next comes a $6Billion dollar « alcohol deficit » Canada has, meaning it costs taxpayers more for the direct(but often not talked about) impacts/costs of alcohol to society(deaths, accidents, injuries, dui’s, legal costs, emergency visits, emergency calls, dependencies, depressions, suicides, domestic abuse cases, FASD, therapies, other physical health conditions, mental health issues/disorders just but to name a few. Alcohol directly causes and/or severely contributes to all of the above. The negative health, legal and societal impacts of alcohol costs all Canadians more money than alcohol « revenues » it provides governments. #EnableTheLabel #TheTruthAboutAlcohol #cancer

In the name of greater public health and awareness, my team and I are doing our best in not allowing the alcohol industry or lobby to control the narrative. Like tobacco companies, they have seriously and severely misled their own consumers. #EnableTheLabel #TheTruthAboutAlcohol #cancer

For those interested, I had the honour and privilege yesterday to reintroduce 2 pieces of legislation in the Senate regarding much needed alcohol policy in Canada: ✅Bill #S202(cancer warning labels on alcoholic products) - formerly #S254 ✅Bill #S203(prohibition of alcohol advertising in 🇨🇦) - formerly #S290 #EnableTheLabel #TheTruthAboutAlcohol #cancer

80% Canadians drink alcohol but only 25% are aware of the causal link between alcohol consumption and 7 fatal cancers. 100% of consumers should have access to this vital health information in order to make better informed health decisions for themselves. Consumers have the #RightToKnow. Of course, that’s on top of the deaths, accidents, DUI’s, injuries, dependencies, depressions, suicides, domestic abuses, FASD, lost productivity, minor 9-1-1/ambulance calls, hospitalizations all due to alcohol, to name a few. 🇨🇦 has a $6Billion alcohol deficit meaning it cost taxpayers and consumers more money towards the negative impacts of alcohol than government revenues of alcohol sales.🪶 Why do alcohol companies get a free pass from having to warn their consumers? #EnableTheLabel #TheTruthAboutAlcohol #cancer

That’s why we need to label products to inform consumers so they could make better informed health decisions for themselves. But first, we need to make the public aware of the causal link between alcohol consumption and 7 fatal cancers and stop giving alcohol companies free passes from warning their consumers. #EnableTheLabel #TheTruthAboutAlcohol #cancer
