The House Leader of the Opposition B.C. Conservatives has described the “unsurmountable” personal impact of the toxic drug crisis, which she says claimed the lives of two of her brothers, a niece and a nephew.

A'aliya Warbus says that just last week she attended a memorial for one brother who died from “a lethal dose of drugs” a year ago.
