@CandiceBergenMP It was a legally purchased gun that just murdered 10 people and forever scarred many more minutes across our border. When will we learn from our mistakes. And the timing of your message. How out of touch can one be?? Insanity.

@melaniejoly Then send them troops. Commending their bravery only goes so far. It is innocent loss of life protecting democracy. They should've been NATO. We have the opportunity to prevent another holocaust now, utilize it. Live up to the name peace keepers before its too late #NeverAgain

Public stigma surrounding supervised consumption sites and political opposition pose the greatest barriers to offering the life-saving interventions that supervised consumption sites can provide (Kerr et al., 2017). Don't follow the herd, educate yourself. https://t.co/0g0xoF1nPJ

Ensure that you are educated. Safe injection sites benefit the public by decreasing public disorder, infectious disease transmission,& overdoses while improving successful referrals to outside programs such as detoxification & addiction treatment programs. https://t.co/0g0xoFiZej

Safe injection sites can act as community outreach programs to promote health for those who are living with addiction in addition to acting as safe, effective, and economical ways of reducing blood borne pathogen transmission rates, drug related injuries, and death. #savelives

@shudrocker @9NEWS Did you know that Insite, Canada's longest running safe injection site which new sites use evidence from to inform harm reduction strategies did not raise crime rates or increase induction into injection drug use in their patrons? Check it out https://t.co/0g0xoFiZej

Did you know that according to stats Canada there were at least 1036 opioid related deaths from January to March 2018? Of those 94% were unintentional. It's time to make change and help prevent senseless deaths among vulnerable populations. Support safe injection sites.

For some the concept of safe injection sites may seem odd and may seem that these sites are promoting drug use. These sites are actually based on the principles of harm reduction which are evidence-based, client-centred approach that seeks to reduce the health and social harms

Now that's something worth supporting! Please write to your local government in support of safe injection sites and be part of the movement. Education is power! #safeinjectionsiteswork!
