@AlgonquinColleg this is Savanna she was suppose to join your nursing program but only was in @ottawacity for a week. #MMIWG2S#MMIWG This happened on Sunday it is now Friday and there has been no news coverage, no statements, no justice. I am so sorry Savanna.
Was praised for giving out a whack of naloxone last week for #IOAD & it made me want to throw up~I should be handing out a #SaferSupply to my peeps who use substances NOT something that reverses an overdose of 1 substance!
They’re ALL FUCKING TOXIC atm.
It’s time to #EndOverdoses
I hate when I see stuff about “lives lost to addiction” - addiction, if you even want to use the word, doesn’t actually kill people. It mostly just makes them unhappy and inebriated a lot of the time. It’s the toxic inconsistency of our criminalized drug supply that’s so lethal.

Our society needs to be okay with the fact that drugs aren't always ruining people's lives-Bad drug policies, prohibition,toxic supply, stigma, racism, poverty and homelessness...cause harm.

Toxic drugs kill more workers in Canada than anything else. We use drugs to keep up with production, for workplace injuries, boredom, alienation & job insecurity. But the drugs are deadly. The labour movement must join the struggle to end the drug war #WorkersMemorialDay
