The crew at Carnegie Housing Project estimates 4700 homeless in Vancouver by 2030.
My prayer is that the general public consider for the LOVE OF MERCY that the issue is poverty. Rich ppl use drugs indoors or in restaurant bathrooms—in private. Addictions are a larger issue of which drugs are just one aspect. Also food, money, power, booze, shopping, working out

There are so many recovery paths that people can find, and no one should be saying which one is right and which one is wrong. That path includes people on methadone and suboxone, but also anyone on any opioid medications including hydromorphone, morphine, heroin, fent patches…
Throughout this presser, there has been a lot of discussion of "safety." Eby and Fiona Wilson have discussed how important it is for people to "feel safe." But why is that FEELING of safety more important than the ACTUAL safety of people who use drugs?

Lots of people asking how I feel about today’s announcement on decriminalization. FIRST, to clarify, decrim has not been ended or cancelled. It’s not a crime to possess small amounts of illicit drugs and that’s not changing. But yes, I’m disappointed in the new rules limiting…
Who said it? Pierre Poilievre or Big Pharma? In his attacks on public pharmacare, the Conservative leader is copying verbatim the pharmaceutical industry’s talking points. WATCH:
Pierre Poilievre haș been cut-and-pasting the pharmaceutical lobby’s talking points attacking a universal social program that would get free medicine to Canadians. Big looking out for ordinary people energy. breachmedia.ca/pierre-poiliev…
Being a social worker is like being a janitor for capitalism. No amount of counselling will give my clients what they need - more money. I naively entered into a failing, racist and ableist system thinking I could help people. The reality is that the system is rotten to the core.
Just to recap: Jail for drug possession does not: -increase public safety -stop public drug use -solve homelessness -give access to high quality mental health care -reduce overdose deaths (actually it increases them) -save tax-payer money (it is very expensive) -fix anything
We gotta stop thinking that the events we’re seeing are episodic vs cultural, structural, & systemic. Homelessness is being criminalized during a housing crisis. $250m in the fed budget for ~300k homeless ppl in 🇨🇦 Is anyone asking *why* we arent housing the poor?
I’m afraid your math is off @JohnRustad4BC - despite colonial rule for xxx years - today First Nations are still here and we are winning in the courts. Stop fear mongering. Divide and conquer is such a desperate play. Get on board #PaddleTogether it’s our home and native land 🧡

Decriminalization is meant to get cops, courts & jails out of our lives. It is not meant to get us clean or solve all other problems in society. Remember when critics blamed homelessness (and everything else) on Insite? The right in BC wants to follow Oregon & RE-criminalize us.

What a surprise … in his latest @nationalpost column @ZivoAdam thinks police in BC are not good at their jobs (aka not torching safer supply the way he thinks they should). This is just the latest in a long string of criticisms he’s leveled at EXPERTS who support harm…

"The vulnerable" as a class of humans, only exists in a society where some people's needs are normalized & sufficiently supported while others are not. Creating "the vulnerable" makes others feel better about their status & protects the system. This dooms us all.

I love my new life/job so much. Respected and allowed to be myself. Not disciplined for being/speaking/living Indigenous, but celebrated.
I get it that the left made identity politics super toxic. But is that really all the right can bang on about? How about a good old fashioned debate on the merits of and failures of Neoliberalism ? Too close to home for Liberals and Tories?
Good morning! Why not spend the morning sipping your coffee and telling @Dave_Eby that recriminalization is like taking 10 steps back during an overdose crisis? We made a simple form for you to do it! Takes 2 min #bcpoli firstunited.ca/resources/dont…
This is a tiny thing: my book chapter was cited for the first time, and last month, I met someone who told me they loved it and clearly knew it inside and out. After so many years and so much bullshit in academia, it's nice to finally reap this small reward.
Send a letter to Premier Eby telling him you object to recriminalization in BC. Tell him that you unequivocally disagree. Share your voice for sensible drug policy and policy that reduces death. Share widely. #bcpoli firstunited.ca/resources/dont…

Do you ever wish you could speak to every single person in Canada? When “decriminalization” is used in relation to illicit drugs, it does NOT mean decriminalization of drugs! It is decriminalization of PEOPLE who might possess 2.5 g or less of illicit drugs. Spread the word!
Men don't like to talk about stuff and for a long time I used to believe that, and it nearly ended my life. I just finished going to trauma therapy and I feel so much better talking about my feelings in order to be the best version of myself. #traumatherapy

No one in BC supports openly trading and using illicit drugs in hospitals, but the right wing political parties stirring up a moral panic will only lead to more deaths. People who use drugs are people, and when they’re in a healthcare setting, they’re patients.
DTES washroom workers out for dinner at Old Spaghetti Factory last night. The stories told were not for a queasy stomach. The funds for the dinner came from a donation from a Chinatown donor to thank our organization for the work we do. #vanpoli @thenetworkhub
