Every person touched by the #overdose crisis will grieve differently. Roya and Ramin courageously decided to share their daughter Sufia’s tragic story in an effort to help others. It was so kind of them to meet with me and photographer Arlen Redekop. vancouversun.com/health/coquitl…

I had a student who never turned on his camera because he was experiencing homelessness. I had another student who was sharing a two bedroom apartment with a total of 7 family members. I had another one who was living in an unfinished basement. So check your privilege.

You can send out beautiful messages of support and have everyone wear orange shirts tomorrow but it doesn’t really matter if your org is not committed to action for truth & reconciliation. And the heavy lifting & emotional labour should not be carried solely by Indigenous people.

Canada just spent $610 million for the same federal election result pre-election. Don't let anyone tell you we couldn't house every person in this country if we wanted to.

Last year, as the country rallied to save lives during the pandemic, toxic street drugs wiped out Canadians at a record pace. All told, confirmed or suspected drug poisonings killed nearly 7,000 Canadians in 2020, or 19 people every day. macleans.ca/longforms/opio…

Nearly six people die every day in B.C. due to a toxic drug supply. How high must that daily average be to compel the province to hold daily — or even weekly — briefings on this public health emergency? #bcpoli My latest in @VIAwesome👇 vancouverisawesome.com/opinion/opinio…
