Rick Sproule was a passionate advocate for people who use drugs in Ottawa. His work helped fight stigma, change minds, and save lives. Rest in power, Rick ✊

Rick on the overdose crisis: "It's a health problem. The reason we haven't acted is the stigma against drug use" https://t.co/KFnmIyEqE4

Rick Sproule has been showing up for people who use drugs for decades. His activism, insight, care, humour and perseverance cleared the path for so many harm-reduction possibilities available today, that none of us take for granted.
Rest in Power, Rick❤️ https://t.co/lhD8j6ow0L

Harm reduction is...”nurturing people and pointing out their worth. Convincing people they are worthy of love and affection, and that they can do anything that they want to do." Sarah Grieg of #MossParkOPS. #loveliveshere @TorontoOPS @SRiverdaleCHC https://t.co/FMYHSo4pgS

[Toronto Harm Reduction Alliance @NoHarmToronto]

“Each site would implement an ongoing monitoring and reporting plan, and adhere to a comprehensive enforcement and audit protocol. This would help review performance, provide measurable outcomes and ensure compliance.” Compliance? Enforcement? The language of forced abstinence.

[OPO #BLM @odpreventionott]

This announcement is paternalistic and perpetuates drug stigma. #stigmakills #harmreductionsaveslives #onpoli

We mourn those we love and have lost. Vigil this morning at Queens Park #onpoli #TheyTalkWeDie

ICYMI: The paper from a few weeks ago that cast doubts on the effectiveness of SCS has been retracted due to "methodological weaknesses"; the authors "have acknowledged that these analyses should not have been undertaken in this way." https://t.co/Zsn7eRq0GC
