You don’t have to approve of substance use to support harm reduction. You just have to care whether people live or die.

Harm reduction is risk management, not endorsement.

MPP, councillor call for investigation of Chinatown addictions clinic | CBC News Catherine McKenney and Ariel Troster are calling on Ontario’s medical regulator to investigate a private addictions treatment clinic that they say has sown "chaos" in Ottawa's Chinatown neighbourhood.

This private clinic replaced a safe consumption site, which had been working well. Safe consumption saves lives. Private medicine exploits the vulnerable.

Ford is killing us with Americanized healthcare.

#SCS are harm reduction and meant to be one piece of addiction treatment services. The #Ford government believes #SafeConsumption is enabling addiction. While expanding #Treatment and #Detox is necessary, these actions will not stop active drugs users from dying. #ONpoli #Opioids #Canada #NurseSky

Safe consumption sites save lives!
They reduce overdoses, connect people to healthcare, and keep communities safer.
It’s time to re-open and expand them- with compassion and urgency.

The Change Project: Safe-consumption centers | Video | NJ Spotlight News More public health advocates are embracing the safe-consumption model, what some believe is a radical way to address opioid overdoses.

"When people come in, they’re in pain. They say, ‘I need to get right.’ They don’t go, ‘Man I need to get in there and party.’ This isn’t a party. This isn’t a Friday night, ecstasy-rave thing,” @onpointnyc.bsky.social ED Sam Rivera said.

Endless diarrhea and exhaustion: the stomach bug making the rounds among the most vulnerable in Canada | CBC News Shigella infections are preventable through simple hygiene measures, public health experts say, like giving homeless people access to public toilets and a place to wash their hands.

Surgeon General Calls for Cancer Warnings on Alcohol Dr. Vivek Murthy’s report cites studies linking alcoholic beverages to at least seven malignancies, including breast cancer. But to add warning labels, Congress would have to act.

Not only a cancer risk, alcohol is a gateway drug to heavier drug use. We already have safe consumption sites for alcohol, why not have proper warnings on the product? www.nytimes.com/2025/01/03/h... #Addiction #MentalHealth #SafeConsumption #BreastCancer #HeartDisease #Arrhythmia #Carcinogen

Here’s what the Ford government doesn’t get about addiction While well-intentioned, the Ontario government plan to close 10 supervised consumption sites and create 19 new homeless and addiction recovery hubs fails to recognize the complexity of addiction.

"The premise of this (govt's) plan - that a choice needs to be made between harm reduction & treatment, is wrong. We need both, & we should use harm reduction as a pathway to treatment." #SafeConsumption #FordCommitsSocialMurders #FordFailedOntario #onpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
