Also ample evidence of this process on social media.

Tiny plastic particles may accumulate at higher levels in the human brain than in the kidney and liver, with greater concentrations detected in postmortem samples from 2024 than in those from 2016, suggests a paper in @NatureMedicine. https://t.co/5lYqdkt6WV

@guyfelicella This is true across Canada. Ottawa has the same issue- many of my pts come from towns and small cities around us. And we are a major catchment area for the north, and English-speaking Quebec.

But the DTES absorbs pts from across Canada, which makes it unique.

“Human trafficking thrives when moral voices are silent. And the cost of that silence is measured in human lives. An opportune moment is upon us to convert public attention into durable, structural change…”

@KarmSumal @guyfelicella @iamkennethchan We’ve always agreed on that.

So what are you doing to help in the community you’re from?

In an incredible twist of sheer policy lunacy, Ontario Works and ODSP for people who are homeless doesn't include the usual $390-599/month - for shelter. We should allow them to save it up to pay for housing when secured. By @NCHetherington @DailyBreadTO

@MarcotteNormand @guyfelicella @ZoeDodd Except in the long term safe consumption sites save money.

So not sure why “cuts have to be made”?

These closures are ideological policy, not fiscally responsible policy.

[David Rider @dmrider]

Surprised and proud to be nominated, with @OmarMosleh, for a National Newspaper Award, while knowing there is no gala for the people we chronicled who rely on, or work at, safe consumption sites being shuttered by the Ford govt. A few more thoughts here: https://t.co/JmzBa8WScx

We don’t need to go back to the 70s to find this stuff (ie).

[Dr Catherine Gray @cg_dr]

@RussDiabo More recently didn’t they allegedly spy on teddy bears?

Because children getting healthcare is threatening somehow?

Our tax dollars at work.

Meanwhile my neighbourhood laundry $ shops happily snow washing.

Canada -the proud home of "snow washing".

Extortion of the elderly, cybercrime, it goes on...

But you go on - criminalize the unhoused and untreated, talk about that in your op-eds, close down services, rant about 'free' drugs.

Your lack of courage is showing.

An oldie but a goodie:
5 Canadian lawyers accused of money laundering or suspicious financial transactions https://t.co/CCga4j3GJh
Who benefits from money laundering? - traffickers: of people (for sex, slavery/indentured labour, immigration, pedophilia), animals, organs, drugs.

[Dr Catherine Gray @cg_dr]

But yeah - its "white collar" crime. So short sentences if you get caught, + if there's enough proof.

Banks have done it - you're in good company.

Meanwhile I have pts doing close to life, for what? Breaching conditions, jaywalking, contempt of court...(i.e no shows). SMH

[Dr Catherine Gray @cg_dr]

@WilliamPrince @itsboygolden Amazing shows!

[Dr Catherine Gray @cg_dr]

Great show in Ottawa!

Thank you ⁦@WilliamPrince⁩ and company

A true native Canadian treasure. So lucky to share the evening with my kid 🙏🏼

[guyfelicella🇨🇦🍁 @guyfelicella]

I’m alive because I was brought back to life at a supervised consumption sites.

Without them:
No recovery.
No kids.
No life.

The drug supply today is even more toxic.

Closing these sites doesn’t stop drug use,
it stops people from surviving it.

@demosthenia1914 @Kathleen_Wynne @grok I’m feeling like you’re not getting the answers you want?

They don’t just reduce overdose death/morbidity most of the evidence show a reduction in infection and an overall savings to taxpayers.

Aka these sites make fiscal sense too.

[Dr Catherine Gray @cg_dr]

@RiesebosC @Kathleen_Wynne Also you’re a bot.

[Dr Catherine Gray @cg_dr]

@RiesebosC @Kathleen_Wynne Safe consumption sites don’t give out “free drugs”

You’re mixing up two different things.

Either you’re referring to highly evidence based opioid agonist therapy, or safer supply (a small Health Canada run pilot program to generate data and provide safer alts to street poison).
