This private clinic replaced a safe consumption site, which was working.

When it was shut down by Doug Ford, it moved in, and locals immediately began to protest the impact the clinic was having. It closed, only for an identical private clinic to open.

Safe consumption sites work. Private medicine does not. Ford is killing us.

Stop blaming people for being under the bus when we are the ones who put them there, and for God’s stop throwing people under the bus!

Every person is infinitely and uniquely valuable: let’s start treating each that way.

Funny thing is that this was never referred to by anyone as an ‘overdose’, but instead as ‘alcohol poisoning’.

Why? Because he had a home.

Somehow - because he had access to people, money, care - he was not blamed for what happened; it was a medical issue rather than a moral failing.

I've never thought of a bar or pub as a supervised/safe consumption site before this... but it TOTALLY is! #endstigma #harmreduction #safeconsumption
