The opioid crisis in Canada is affecting Indigenous communities, with unforeseen ripple effects such as increased homelessness and crime rates. Evacuations due to wildfires have further exposed the severity of the crisis, as well as the lack of resources like naloxone. Indigenous communities affected by the crisis may benefit from participating in the opioid class action, but the effectiveness of the lawsuit may be hindered by the difficulties faced by these communities. Finding a resolution for the crisis requires addressing the underlying causes of addiction, poverty, and lack of access to healthcare.
