3 Indigenous people killed by cops in 4 days and now Canadians are feeling emboldened to try run Indigenous protestors down and our “National leaders” are too busy trying to help the feds normalize genocide to say anything.

“What if” we actually already have decades of extensive data showing that treating ADHD, which by definition has to be diagnosed through testing, actually significantly reduces substance use and addiction rates. Your ignorance of the facts does not make those facts any less true

Time for your daily dose of “What Politicians Are Wrong About Today” Actually @ElenoreSturko, providing low-barrier harm reduction supplies to people who use drugs at home ABSOLUTELY DOES REDUCE HARMS. As an MLA for Surrey South you surely must know that Fraser Health has, BY

There's been a lot of talk about re-opening Riverview Mental Hospital this week. But I'm not so sure it's a good idea. I went to the abandoned Edwardian mental hospital for Crackdown podcast searching for traces of my great grandmother, Rosa Mullins. crackdownpod.com/episodes/episo…

Something that I have observed over the past eight years working/living in areas w/ high homelessness and drug use, is that behaviours related to mental and physical illness, sometimes untreated, sometimes exacerbated by lack of sleep are so often erroneously blamed on drug use.

I wish we all hated homelessness instead of hating homeless people. #HousingCrisis

Possibly the most disturbing story of Canadian systemic failure I've read. A child in Ontario’s care system dies *every three days* and yet no one seems to know why or how many Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/10735101/…

Waterloo region urges #ONgov to NOT defund #CTS, protect #UPHNS #overdose prevention sites, citing health and safety concerns, and $1.65-million savings because of the #CTS. kitchener.citynews.ca/2024/09/10/wat…

killing people is not the right thing to do he's choosing to kill six more people every day

Only an unserious government would support involuntary treatment when people can’t voluntarily get the help they need and want. Locking people away does not solve a housing crisis, but it does line peoples pockets creating patient prisoners

Crime in the vicinity of sites, went down. What will go up is - deaths. Doug Ford should have to present his evidence because not one review, not one piece of evidence suggests closing them. This is an authoritarian decision.

The heads of Kensington Market Overdose Prevention Services say their consumption site has saved thousands of lives. Now, they worry people who use drugs will have nowhere to turn torontolife.com/city/safe-cons…

I wish Kingston had an empathetic mayor whose response to today's scary incident would be to get out to the Integrated Care Hub to check in on the staff, get care to help those affected, etc. The natural, human response of a leader.

The story of 13-year-old Brianna MacDonald, who tragically died in a homeless encampment from a suspected overdose, has stirred up a lot of painful emotions for me today. It's heartbreaking to see people commenting on her life as if they can truly understand her fear and the fear

If you are pregnant, get a TDaP. If you live with a pregnant person or newborn, check your vaccination status and get a booster. Pertussis immunity is NOT permanent! Anecdotally, many pertussis cases in our region are in adults who don’t suspect that they are susceptible.
