Watched my sons set last night. He used drugs and lived unhoused for many years. Stigma in the healthcare system nearly killed him. Forced treatment wouldn’t have worked. Harm reduction kept him alive until he chose recovery. Dead people don’t recover. #harmreduction

My son struggled for years. Harm reduction worked. Prescribed safe supply worked. Rock bottom and tough love didn’t. Forced treatment/abstinence wouldn’t have. He no longer uses, he’s alive/healthy/housed and just recorded his first song.

Myth: safe supply keeps people from recovering from addiction. It may prevent someone from being abstinent, but it’s also a myth that abstinence is required for recovery. It’s what works for some people, it doesn’t work for all. Recovery is personal, not one size fits all.

@SassenachsToy @GuillotineSome Very short sighted of you. Trudeau didn’t start the failed war on drugs. It’s so frustrating when people turn our loved ones lives into a political blame game.

@RobMoore_CPC @JohnWilliamson_ @RichardBragdon @JakeStewartMP I urge you to consider the emails and messages I have sent you. Ending safe supply will be a death sentence for New Brunswickers who are fortunate enough to have access. My own son would be dead without it. Please.

In two hours a vote to end #SafeSupply is happening in the House of Commons. This vote determines if the small number of people with access to safe supply will live or die. SAVING LIVES AND FOLLOWING THE EVIDENCE SHOULD NOT BE POLITICIZED BY ANY PARTY.

@brianlilley @WKguy The street supply is toxic and laced with fentanyl. The data you provided shows clearly that fentanyl is the major driver in the crisis in Ontario, not the pharmaceutical grade opiates prescribed in safer supply programs.

Indigenous women in Canada are more likely to be victims of physical or sexual violence than they are to graduate high school, let alone obtain a post secondary education Read that again From the podcast- Indictment: The Criminal Justice System on Trial by @profbenperrin

This is the government’s housing strategy. Lock them up, since according to the Minister of Public Safety, most of them don’t even know their own name. How many units of supportive housing could be built for the same cost? This is so dehumanizing.

Soooo…, the jail is definitely canceled then, right? I mean, look at what @premierbhiggs did to the Justice Complex and the New Brunswick Museum over a lot less money. So, the new jail is *definitely* *definitely* canceled, right?… Right? Guys?

@HowardWill5 @GetaPetaHome It’s ineffective. It’s time to drop it. Drug policy should be based on evidence, not on historical, racist practices that should not apply today.

@ZivoAdam Of course not. But what is the risk of youth dying from diverted prescription opioids (diversion is not new, btw) vs the risk of them dying from the black market supply? Do you think it’s impossible that youth have access to the street supply? Do you think that’s safer?

@GrantWarkentin @ZivoAdam @TheRoyGreenShow Stigma kills more than drugs, it makes people hide their use. Also, calling people goblins is dehumanizing. I would never speak about your family that way. People need love and support, not moral judgement

@annaddition Substance use is a spectrum. Recovery is any steps you take to the right. Methadone would be considered beneficial use.

@AMCKunneke @profbenperrin @PierrePoilievre Perfect example. We have a safe supply of alcohol but we still need recovery programs. We need all three: Harm reduction, safe supply AND recovery options. If people were dying from a toxic alcohol supply people would be outraged.

@KinnonRoss @grannycindy57 @angwelz @eengler17 @MikeEllisUCP @VanishaBreault @EarlThiessen @momsstoptheharm Not everyone who uses substances needs recovery, the same as not everyone who uses alcohol develops addiction and needs treatment. If 21 Canadians a day were dying from drinking alcohol it would be recalled and be substituted with something safe. That’s a safe regulated supply.

More dehumanizing comments from the NB government. Even when the family pushes back and says no, that’s not what she needed. I’m so sorry for the grieving families.

She was found dead after a tent encampment fire. Her smile is what her family will remember | CBC...

Rae Tyler's family will remember how she kept smiling even in the toughest of times. The 33-year-old woman was found dead after a tent encampment fire in March.

@NicD903 @Jango627 Because they could hear from unreliable sources that anal sex is a way to ensure you don’t get STDs. They need accurate correct information from people who can deliver it factually and safely. Otherwise they’ll ask the internet which is neither of those things.
