Study found that neither the safer supply policy nor the subsequent decriminalization of drug possession appeared to alleviate the opioid crisis. Instead, both were associated with an increase in opioid overdose hospitalizations. https://t.co/PA0sFcLE21

@Benaskren All the best 👊

@CorsMaddy @guyfelicella Lies in this reply is wild. LOL. "Drug dealing is delivery based ('dial-a-dope')"this guy is still stuck in 2010. Don't ask the people running these services; ask the actual users. OPS only attracts more users. Opening this site, they'll be asking for a second location next year.

@jeremyomand1 @vanliberals That dude is desperate for any kind of engagement, even if it’s wrong. Business openings have actually outpaced closures since 2021, and in 2024 there were about 100 more business openings than closures city-wide. https://t.co/9go9zq2gxk

Activists pilloried a study about the closure of an Alberta injection site because it was produced by a provincially funded research group despite getting $1.4 million in federal funding last year to study the same thing in Ontario but with weaker data.

@ShellyUrquhart @JM_Whiteside So he said, “he got jail sentences for possessing less than a half gram of cocaine,” while bragging here about how he was arrested with 21 papers of drugs and still got let go. What a lying POS

@EchoesofEmpire_ Are you sure the guy with the tattoos isn’t just a hipster from 2010?

@Cunnington50818 @Snake1633691791 @GlobalBC Also, people love citing Europe’s "progressive" drug policies. They just don't know that those cities also use police dispersal and enforcement tactics to break up open drug scenes.

@AdamZivo Over the last 6 years the argument went from:
There's no evidence.
Okay, it's happening.
But it's always been happening
Actually, diversion it's a good thing.

@Vote4ABC 2021: One was concerned about broken storefront windows and rising crime. The other looked at the photo and asked for evidence. Now they're both elected. One was part of a team that actually did something about it.
The other is still asking, “Where’s the evidence?

Every time I talk about drug control, I get asked: "what about alcohol? What about decriminalization?" Here's my fast answer to the question, from @uaustinorg:

@COPEVancouver @builtjustice Bruh. A COPE-led council majority? Let’s not get carried away. Aliens invading and the Loch Ness Monster surfacing in False Creek both seem more likely.

Progressives call them "homeless encampments," but they are open-air drug scenes. Ask the homeless themselves what their lives are like, and they will tell you it's about feeding their fentanyl & meth addictions and being victims of violence by other addicts and dealers.

@AdamZivo What’s even more bizarre is that they attacking the current mayor because a police report recommended removing Bitcoin ATMs due to their alleged use by cartels. Yet when you actually read the report itself, this is what it says:

@JarrydJaeger Many people don’t know this, but The KLF famously burned £1 million in cash proceeds from that song in a notorious performance-art stunt in England. Nonetheless, it’s still an iconic song.

@builtjustice @COPEVancouver I am just asking: Do you mean the Renters Office that cost $1.8 million, had 7 staff, averaged about one inquiry per day, and where 60% of the calls were for issues outside its jurisdiction? If that’s your big plan, October 2030 might be your only realistic shot.

@kareemformayor @AdamDav93 @604RAW You can make almost any mayor look bad by lumping spending, fees, utilities, parking, and taxes together. K Stewart’s = 22%, Ken Sim’s = 26%. It’s a made-up claim you keep repeating in the media, and repeating it doesn’t make it true. It’s bad look for someone running for mayor

[Mark Hawkrønn @_MarkMyWords___]

@kareemformayor @AdamDav93 @604RAW Just stop with the nonsense. Repeating the same lie over and over doesn’t make it true also Kennedy’s ‘levy’ turned out to be a tax

[Mark Hawkrønn @_MarkMyWords___]

@AdamDav93 @kareemformayor @604RAW No he is not. Everything Kareem says, you have to double-check. He is making things up. Also, Kennedy’s taxes went up to 30%, with a secret levy.
