Toronto edition #WouldYouRather: Have a mayor struggling with substance abuse or a mayor who creates an illegitimate power dynamic within city hall? 🤔 #CityPolitics
ICYMI: harm reduction advocate @AriDee999 on @breakfasttv this morning to discuss how BC’s recent decriminalization of adults possessing small amounts of certain drugs could help address the national opioid epidemic. #addictsinthedark

Say goodbye to the vicious cycle. Decriminalizing drugs in BC means people won't have to resort to crime to access their supply. By treating addiction as a public health issue, we can improve outcomes, reduce crime & build a safer, healthier BC. Support #HarmReduction#BC
Authorities who are out to lower supply on the street by busting drug dealers are not decreasing the demand.
In fact, drug distributors are now enticed to make their supply more potent - to meet that demand with dwindling supplies of low quality products.
This is the sad result
@hilaryagro It is naive to believe that politicians, lawmakers and law enforcement can combat the opioid crisis by simply taking down the organized crime kingpins in the Lower Mainland.
Instead, THEY CAN JUST PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS. This man can help do that.
@PierrePoilievre The inevitable outcomes of this plan: further isolation of addicts, disruption to the drug supply chain (this is why fentanyl replaced traditional heroin), cutting safe supply funding = increased cost of emergency services responding to ODs + MORE deaths.

Today, after 13 years, 5 radio stations, and 3 different cities, my time at Bell Media has come to an end. For the most part, 6 year old me accomplished everything that he set out to do in the radio biz. Thanks for listening.

lets remember he has an addiction. Many addicts in our society get compassion. To an extent, he deserves that same compassion. #evanderkane
