Canada's first female Indigenous psychiatrist, advocate, positive disruptor, gets into good & necessary trouble. I’m mostly on here for All. The. Dogs.
This is Bodie. His presence indicates the beginning of Pride Month. May his whimsy and steadfastness bring joy and confidence to all. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾
Politicians celebrating the defeat of life-saving healthcare during an overdose crisis is nothing to be proud of. An overdose prevention site IS helping vulnerable people “properly.” The evidence is clear: OPS save lives, reduce public drug use, and connect users to care.
At 12:06 PST I’ll be going live on CBC British Columbia BC Today to talk about the pause on the Yaletown supervised consumption site.
This site would help reduce public drug use, prevent overdose deaths, connect people to detox and treatment, and address many of the challenges the community continues to witness every day.
The reality is this crisis will not be solved through outrage or political talking points. It will only improve when people are willing to work together on real solutions that save lives, improve public safety, and support recovery.
Tune in I'll break it all down.
Supervised consumption sites ARE NOT the problem.
They’re part of the solution to reducing overdose deaths, open drug use, public disorder, and connecting people to treatment, healthcare, and recovery services.
Without them, people don’t suddenly stop using drugs, they just use more dangerously, more publicly, and more often alone.
So be careful what you celebrate when these services are delayed or shut down.
Because the consequences don’t disappear, they get worse.
Delaying the opening of a supervised consumption site in Yaletown doesn’t make the crisis disappear.
It means more overdoses.
More public drug use.
More people using alone.
More deaths.
More street disorder the community says it wants solved.
You cannot oppose the very services designed to reduce the harms and then act shocked when the harms continue.
The reality is this: ignoring a crisis doesn’t make it go away, it makes it worse.
So when these challenges continue across the neighbourhood, remember who fought against solutions when it’s time to vote.

WOW!
Today Smith tried to perpetuate her spin on what duty to consult means and how it applies...
And Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew was having NONE of it!

If you don’t want to see people sleeping on sidewalks, in parks, or in tents, then stop pretending complaints are a solution.
You don’t end homelessness by moving people along, you end homelessness by housing people!
I'm probably not supposed to tell anyone, but it's @HeyPistol Dad's birthday. He kinda likes to blend into the background and not attract much attention so he doesn't think anyone knows.
He'd sure be surprised if suddenly there were thousands of birthday wishes. 🤭
I’m into my 60’s & enjoy riding the occasional scooter. Take the bus & walk combo to work even though I own a car. A bit of ageism & NIMBYism @PJReporter?
3rd and Trafalgar in Vancouver's Kitsilano neighborhood. Uproar after 4 street parking spaces just lost to a scooter installation. Many people here are 50's and up and need their cars for work. Do they think these people are going to start riding scooters to work?
