Exposing the SCS myths & fallacies of Blaine Hyggen

A few weeks ago, Lethbridge City Council debated a resolution proposed by Councillor Blaine Hyggen to stop Arches—a local harm reduction agency—from distributing free, clean needles in the community, as well as to petition the provincial government to freeze funding to their supervised consumption site.

During the debate, Hyggen opened with a 20-minute monologue, filled with fallacies, rumours, mistruths, and harmful rhetoric. In this video, I’m going to break that all down. 

It took many hours out of my spare time researching my responses, capturing video, recording myself, editing it all together, and so on. Which is why it took so long to get this video out there. I wish I had been able to create this closer to the city council meeting where this occurred. This is my longest video to date. So pop some popcorn. We’re going to be here for a while.
