@CatsingCouch @guyfelicella not true, shelters offer easy free food leaving more money for drugs.

@guyfelicella The problem is the shelter doesn’t have alcohol or drugs or a way to get money to afford said substances So most aren’t interested in the shelter

Housing people is cheaper than abandoning them. Prison: $150,000 a year Hospital: $30,000 a month Shelter: $5,000 a month Housing is not the cost, ignoring people is!

@P43215 @Twolfrecovery Wild.

Right… so asking for transparency is now a personal attack. Good to know, @Twolfrecovery. You’re promoting an app with: no independent studies, self-reported data, and some very “impressive” percentages… But yeah, totally science, not marketing. Meanwhile, supervised consumption sites? Not your thing. Even though they actually keep people alive. Interesting priorities. And when someone asks basic questions… block them. Of course. That’s usually what people do when they’re extremely confident in their evidence. So again, just for clarity: Are you being paid? Do you own equity? Or is this just a passionate, unpaid sales campaign? People deserve to know. Recovery isn’t built in an app store. It’s built in real life.

@TimHoustonNS You want an alternative to this media who is tearing your shittly moral panic to shreds? halifaxexaminer.ca/dismantling-de…

The issues happening around us with illegal drugs and criminal activity are serious. I need to share some information and perspective in a more detailed way than a soundbite or a quote in a media story. First, we must always support law enforcement. The treatment of the RCMP that we have seen is not acceptable. They are doing their job to uphold the law and keep Nova Scotians safe. They deserve respect, not confrontation. Blocking a highway or roadway is never acceptable. The unlawful obstruction of others is not peaceful. It undermines public safety, respect for law enforcement and the rule of law itself. Our roadways are our lifeblood. At any given time, people are travelling for critical reasons such as getting to medical appointments, hospitals, work and caring for their families. Our highways are also how we move goods, food and keep our Province functioning. Second, enforcement of the law is not about generating revenue for Government. In fact, with respect to First Nations communities, Government has offered a path forward where revenue from regulated cannabis sales stays in the community, not the government coffers. To be clear, Government supports regulated dispensaries in First Nations communities where profits go into programs and supports that benefit the whole community, not just a handful of individuals operating outside the law. This option exists and has existed for some time. Leadership is aware of it, and it deserves serious consideration. We are ready to work together to address the drug crisis. However, we are not prepared to accept the status quo. We all have a collective responsibility to put the safety of the public above all else. Third, the dangers of unregulated drug markets and their consequences are already being felt across our Province. It is not just the Province saying this. On March 19, Millbrook First Nation issued a drug alert confirming the presence of methylfentanyl, a highly potent form of fentanyl, in the unregulated drug supply in Hants County. This is deeply concerning. This is not a future risk. It is here now and has been. That means that the risk of cross contamination is real. This underscores a hard truth. Unregulated drug markets are unpredictable, untested and increasingly dangerous. They put users, all Nova Scotians, and especially our children, at risk. There are no safeguards. No standards. No accountability. People are being exposed to substances far more potent and far more dangerous than they realize. That is how people get hurt. That is how people die. Fourth, to further underscore the true danger, particularly to children, this week in Nova Scotia, the RCMP released images of cannabis seized from illegal storefronts, and what they showed should concern everyone. Products packaged to look like candy. Bright colours. Familiar brands. There is a reason for this type of packaging. It is clearly designed to appeal to children and youth. Fifth, the potency of some illegal market products is extremely high. Many of these seized products contained THC levels reportedly between 2,000 mg and 8,000 mg per package, compared to the legal limit of just 10 mg in Canada. That is not a small difference. It is hundreds of times stronger. It is appalling. These levels of dosage can lead to severe physical and psychological distress for adults and can be life threatening to children. Sixth, we need to be clear and honest about the law. In R. v. Marshall et al. (2024, NS Provincial Court), the Court rejected the claim that cannabis sales are protected by treaty rights, finding there was no evidence to support any Aboriginal or treaty right to trade cannabis. The law is clear. There is no recognized treaty right to sell cannabis. And the reasons this activity is illegal and dangerous are also clear: •Packaging designed to mimic mainstream candy. •THC levels hundreds of times above legal limits and at hazardous levels. •No health or safety oversight. Finally, we are seeing instances where people are actively encouraging confrontation with the RCMP, promoting blockades and creating situations that carry real risk to the public, to law enforcement and to their own communities. This is dangerous. It puts people in harm’s way. It threatens public safety. It undermines respect for law enforcement and the rule of law. And it makes an already dangerous situation worse. We encourage leadership to work with the Province and move towards safe, regulated dispensaries in communities where profits can stay in the community. There is a clear path forward that will work for communities. Let’s work together to keep our communities safe.

@Cazzy Im 5'9" and couldn't even see Radiohead's giant screens let alone the stage. Show was redeemed by great sound.

I'm very excited for the show but UBC Thunderbird Arena continues to be Vancouver's Worst Venue I've only been here like 5 times and it's a huge PITA each time, forever to walk to, to find your seats, the sound is bad the lighting is bad the security is bad just a mess

@life_is_art___ Bang on, 'cept Hegel is 100% innocent on this Marxist shitiocarcy. It actually as if Marx came first and Hegel set out to make fun of him. x.com/P43215/status/…

Know how he was able to “predict” this so-called Kratom crisis? He’s in the moral-panic manufacturing business. Kevin and his octopus of NGOs, funded by entities that financially benefit from prohibition, have millions in funding to keep this going. Mayor Bloomberg spends millions, police lobbies, the addiction medicine industry, lab-companies, etc etc. It’s the Hegelian-Dialect jobs program. Create a crisis, then get taxpayer & industry $ to “fix” it. Then lobby to keep it going. People that BENEFIT from access to these compounds/meds, are just disposable livestock to them.

@guyfelicella Crystal Smalldon seemed to like him, was his political organizer a couple years before she wrote this letter.

I don’t know a single Canadian who likes Kevin O’Leary. Not one!! So who exactly are these politicians working for?

@StepUPnow_ca "In recent years, there has been some pushback from certain Downtown Eastside non-profit organizations and advocates on the idea of independent audits of their spending and work." why not name these "certain groups"?...!?

@SocialistFT they were abducting folks at McGill in the 50's, how are we next?

The CIA wants Canada. Trump was only a small part of the push. We are next after Cuba.

@eyebaws1 some are absolutely terrorists according to the western definition, chiefly Keith Humphreys, terrifying folks of the unhoused to fill his pockets with sweet suboxone sale.

Psychiatrists do terrorize ppl !!!! I mean they may not be what current western laws label as terrorists but let’s change that

@sethharpesq where did they get their dex back in the opiuim wars?

"American officials should stop snorting cocaine between meetings." No one ever talks about this but the use of stimulant drugs including dextroamphetamine and modafinil among ruling class elites is a huge part of why US foreign policy is so violent and insane.

@JayGenXer its a Canadian psyop to pass draconian bills

Mexico 🇲🇽 moved their Fentanyl to Canada🇨🇦for manufacturing & distribution

@pws152 @TheBreakdownAB they found the chiefs a long time ago, and they wreck rehabs all over the world. but local chief here is Marshall Smith, kind of. Hes in hiding without his shitty app.

@TheBreakdownAB Do you think that the chiefs should be looked at, they get there money from the FEDERAL government. Where did the money go!!

While the UCP are trying to convince Albertans that they’re investing in recovery… Make no mistake. The cracks are getting bigger. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

@DavidGibson604 @guyfelicella @suestroud he only whips 'em when they do it in the temple, their fears are unfounde.

@guyfelicella @suestroud Would a bank let him in?

If Jesus showed up today preaching compassion, forgiveness, feeding the poor, caring for the addicted, the homeless, the mentally unwell… Would the conservatives or others even recognize him? Or would they call him a radical, a socialist, a threat, and try to silence him all over again. 🤔

@bhim63333 @vancolour she threw out one raving antisemite. Worth mentioning, but you really escalated it, which is strange considering accusations of gaslighting.

@vancolour One bc leader dallas brodie literally put everything on the line to kick out nazis and racists out of her party. Don’t gaslight your followers.

Branding it ‘Unite the Right’ is certainly… a choice, given the recent history attached to that phrase. I wonder what other names were on that short list? Make BC Great Again?

@heirmeg back in the 70s and 80s all of USA/Canada was smoking high thc/low cbd sativas from south asia. Got us kids paranoid af, but no schizophrenia..

@TheBreakdownAB relax, maybe they accept 'recovery capital™️'?
