“We want to be designing housing where relationships are at the center, and young people can feel a real sense of social connectedness and home in these places rather than a sense of disconnectedness and dislocation.” #housing #home #youth #connection vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/04/07/van…
The pandemic may be slowly coming to an end, but the mental health crisis and "emergency" is not over. We need to be enhancing access to mental health care, rather than scaling back and eliminating existing services. This is a poor decision. cbc.ca/news/politics/…
🧵 Numerous B.C. pharmacies are accused of offering prohibited cash kickbacks to vulnerable patients for their prescriptions in an effort to maximize the amounts the pharmacies can bill the province’s publicly funded drug plan theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
Today is Black Balloon Day, a day to remember those we've lost to toxic drugs. It is also a time to acknowledge the systemic failures that contributed to each life taken far too soon. To those we've lost: 🖤You are loved. 🖤You are missed. 🖤You are remembered. #BlackBalloonDay
“We’re often working to treat disease, illness, homelessness and addictions and I really like to see us move upstream and invest in innovation and new systems so that we, as British Columbians can live healthier and more fulfilled lives.” surreynowleader.com/local-news/loc…
“More than six million Canadians say they do not have regular access to primary care physicians. It's a crisis the experts say has caused untold harm and cases of preventable death and disease — and it's expected to get worse before it gets better.” cbc.ca/news/politics/…
A unique in-patient hospital program that provided Vancouver-area teens with addictions and mental illness treatment, as well as schooling and other support, is quietly being closed, despite a rising number of toxic drug deaths and mental-health diagnoses vancouversun.com/health/exclusi…
“The evidence is safe injection sites save lives. The evidence is that they make a difference in communities. The evidence is that they make communities safer.” vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/02/12/bc-…
Canada spends about 12% of GDP on health care. About $8,500 per person. Close to 30% of all taxes collected. With an ageing population and medical care becoming more complex we will likely see the costs rise to 14 ish % of GDP over the coming 10 years. How do we pay for that?…
What this discussion is missing is the fact that there is no permanent overdose prevention site in Maple Ridge. If you don’t want people using in public, give them a better and safer alternative. Everyone wins. globalnews.ca/news/10287149/…

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
On the other hand: overwhelming support for this move is likely. The general public has zero support for public drug use. #bcpoli
