The radical Toronto Sun - National Post - Conservative Party pipeline of self-serving Partisanship before Public Service. Neither progressive nor conservative.

Quality time with Mike Farwell yesterday on a range of hyper-political-life-threatening-drug-related issues. Listen here, 17 July, 1h11m, onwards: kitchener.citynews.ca/audio/the-mike…

I cannot endorse strongly enough the two stories linked by Ben below here. Find them however you can. (Library, internet archive or subscribe!) Ignore Zivo and his attention-seeking nonsense, except for entertainment, which many of you may need right now.

I was born and raised in Jasper, Alberta. My family helped build that town. 1/4th of the town cemetery are my relatives. Now gone. The heartbreak and rage I’m feeling right now cannot be described. This planet is on fire and so many people fight to continue on this path.

Dope Facts: ❄️ 'Hard' drugs are not decriminalized or legalized across Canada. ❄️ 'Hard' drugs are not given out at Supervised Consumption Services. ❄️ People with no addiction diagnosis die of drug poisoning every day.

CITIZENS FOR CAMBRIDGE LETTER: 'Lock-them-up strategy' is no way to solve the opioid crisis cambridgetoday.ca/letters-to-the…

Hi Waterloo Regional Police - can you share the WRPS statement provided to the NP’s opinion writer please? 🙏

"Speak For The Dead To Protect The Living" August 28, Kitchener International Overdose Awareness Day

Involuntary Addiction Treatment c/o AMO AMO represents 444 Ontario municipalities, many if not all struggling under the weight of Ontario's drug poisoning tragedy. #AMO2024 #ONmuni #ONpoli #ONhealth Read: Opioid Crisis: A Municipal Perspective amo.on.ca/sites/default/…

"If the mayor's opinion is to take Ontario back to another century, it will be extremely expensive for taxpayers and not provide the relief constituents seek.” #AMO2024 #ONpoli #ONhealth #ONmuni

Pretty please?

“If you think an ambulance or care in the emergency department is hard to get now, it’s about to get a lot worse. It’s like pouring water on a grease fire - a tragedy on top of a tragedy that will benefit no taxpayer.” #AMO2024 kitchener.citynews.ca/2024/08/20/its…

We are sharing this media statement on behalf of a group of Ontario and national organizations regarding Ontario’s new restrictions that will result in more death during a worsening drug poisoning crisis: hivlegalnetwork.ca/site/media-sta…

The hate directed against people who use drugs is vile. Politicians who scapegoat an already-vilified and vulnerable minority to score points and gain power, leading to more pain and death, are morally bankrupt. Decent people should find this repellent. #cdnpoli #onpoli

There were 3 reviews done about CTS in Ontario that were released yesterday and not one of them says that sites should close. What is the purpose of spending time, energy and money on these if government is not going to listen to the outcomes of these reviews or even evidence?

“People will die.” Local experts condemn province's drug consumption sites ban by Tyler Kelaher CTV Kitchener Watch/Read: kitchener.ctvnews.ca/mobile/people-…

harm reduction is an essential service because governments continue to prioritize harm.

michael parkinson and I were on Ontario Today talking about supervised consumption sites and the provincial government’s stated aim to close them. cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

Today the Region of Waterloo’s CHS Committee passed a motion calling #ONgov Doug Ford Sylvia Jones to cease defunding #CTS in Ontario, and support #UPHNS consumption services. #ONpoli #ONhealth
