Health officials in Quebec City are warning the public about a synthetic opioid 25 times more powerful than fentanyl.
Quebec City Regional Public Health Authority says the compound protonitazepyne presents a high risk of overdose, which may require several doses of the life-saving medication naloxone.
The warning comes after Belleville, Ont., issued a state of emergency after a rash of overdoses in the city.
As Nathaniel Dove reports, experts say governments aren’t doing enough to address the crisis and stop overdoses from happening.
