It's still sinking in.

Charitable donations - and structural reforms - encouraged asap here:

Ontario has no #homelessness strategy.
I'm doing my most for 6 (six!!!) area non-profits that offer some relief. I'd rather not - it's exhausting.
Spare some change, get a tax receipt - and my eternal gratitude.
Donate online (please): hhth.akaraisin.com/ui/Waterl…

“If you think an ambulance or care in the emergency department is hard to get now, it’s about to get a lot worse. It’s like pouring water on a grease fire - a tragedy on top of a tragedy that will benefit no taxpayer.” #AMO2024

Quality time with @farwell_WR yesterday on a range of hyper-political-life-threatening-drug-related issues.

Opinions, Thoughts, and Prayers Strategy leads to 76 suspected drug poisoning deaths in first 6 months of 2024. As real solutions sit idle, deaths and injuries escalate and devastate Waterloo region residents. #VisonZero #NoAdultsInCharge
The radical Toronto Sun - National Post - Conservative Party pipeline of self-serving Partisanship before Public Service. Neither progressive nor conservative.
The dangerous Trumpesque CPC pre-election scheme villainizing individuals, marginalizing serious issue(s), and aiming to divide Canadians via lies is 100% not about evidence/facts/public service. Self-serving partisan politics without substance; not progressive or conservative.
The tireless advocacy in support of organized crime from radical elected officials - and their deep medical expertise without the hassle of schooling- on display again:
A new opinion piece lays out the case for replacing BC’s Public Health Officer.

Radical failed drug policy = more than 20,000 deaths since 2018 Ontario election, currently 1 death every 2.5hrs.
"The [@fordnation] government, like the conservative government in Alberta & the [@CPC_HQ] opposition nationally, seem to be taking advice from American addiction treatment lobbies," @DrugStrategies

>50 drug poisoning deaths in Waterloo region so far in 2024. More than 20,000 deaths province-wide since 2018 elections.
No Ontario resident benefits from the current Opinions, Thoughts, and Prayers Strategy. #ONpoli #ONhealth
Overdoses are ⬆️due to highly concentrated Fentanyl (95-100%) w few adulterants. Users may not realize the potency & use their usual amount. Pls be safe, don't use alone, & carry naloxone. CTS is open daily w on-site drug checking. Visit sanguen.com for hours.

100% not progressive, conservative, or anywhere close to evidence-informed common sense. #Overdose
