@APetersMUN "...we've struggled to build that relationship & trust w/ the people who work in that industry" It's hard to build relationships if sex work is criminalized. That opportunity would be more achieveable if it was decriminalized & we elimated the fear of prosectuion. #PLST4000

@DysonKendra Workers would definitely benefit from decriminalization. Sex can be a commodity! The negative stigma attached to it is one of the major issues. It leads to endless amounts of discrimination. Decriminalizing it would protect and give sex workers a regular life like the rest of us.

Bill C-36 aims at eliminating the sex trade by prosecuting clients but this poses a greater risk for workers. Inability to do their work professionally leads to more violence, discrimination, and denies sex workers the protection of labour laws. https://t.co/KM3wTAjby8 #PLST4000

@victoria_curran Cracking down on mid-level dealers proves suscessful as we see the amount of meth siezed over the years has climbed. Sadly, this means demand has continued to grow. Tackling this issue at street level may have positive impact on the community & users, decreasing demand. #PLST4000

@DevinOl55486159 While it is important that these units have an adequate number of officers that will help successfully make an impact, experience is also vital role! We can't just replace experienced, knowledgeable officers with fresh, young recruits & expect to get the same result. #PLST4000

"Drug court" is a harm reduction tactic to get non-violent offenders in the court system the help they need and reduce their likeliness to reoffend. This way we work together w/ the public in offering options that aim to prevent or end drug use. #PLST4000 https://t.co/J5iXgSRwlJ

@TammySh79732549 Isnt it!!! SCN Lavalin needs to be held accountable for their crimes and the justice system needs to take more preventative measures to ensure they don't continue to reoffend.

Corperate crime is crime. It should be the responsibility of private police & not negotied. The redmediation regime allows for corrupt companies to continue their habits w/o criminal consequence or history in exchange for money. #ineffective #PLST4000 https://t.co/QIZetRuZcw

@AshleenFarrell1 It is incredibly important that police are up to date on technology and the latest trends. We need to discover a more proactive approach to prevent these crimes. Do you think it would be beneficial to run a internet safety course with young children, similar to DARE? #PLST4000

@CurtisKinsella Mental readiness is essential to officers day-to-day duties. I would bet unprovoked acts of intimadation by police would drop with regular training and focus on mental health but it can't be reduced with a single address. This should be an ongoing effort and requirment. #PLST4000
