Hour 3, Segment 1 and 2 - Dr. Owen Williamson - a podcast by Global News / Curiouscast

Of all the Canadian provinces British Columbia has the most restrictive policies on prescribing of opioid medication for chronic pain (agony) patients. The president of the Pain Management Physicians of BC Society, in an email to me, accuses the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC of "steadfastly refusing to consult with pain experts either before or since they implemented their policy, despite advice from our society and patient advocacy groups that their policy is harming people with chronic pain."
