@StevensonLDN Know what's wet? The low lands along the river where people are forced to sleep while they flood in the spring. The great part about housing like this is, it increases the likelihood that treatment will be successful for people. You're putting the cart before the horse.

How many of London’s shelters, supportive housing and social housing are “wet” - meaning illegal substance use is allowed? Our City’s taxpayer funded $100K/year highly supportive housing allow drug use in their units. Is it time to change those policies #LdnOnt? Planned 'wet' supportive housing in Port Alberni sparks concern timescolonist.com/local-news/pla… via @timescolonist

People drink socially & recreationally all the time w/out any addiction or it destroying their lives. No one does fentanyl or heroin recreationally. While alcohol certainly has the potential to destroy lives, meth, fetanyl, heroin etc… ALWAYS destroys lives. They’re not the same.

@ZoeDodd HART Hubs will not meet the needs. But there's people who were once in harm reduction programs without much option but to work in these programs now. And they are doing everything they can to make sure they are meaningful and impactful to the people we care about.

There's no protecting our communities when people in our families and communities are dead by this government's continuous idealogical cruelty. HART Hubs arent real. people are just shuffled around. Instead people are oding in public, washrooms, on the street, libraries, dropins
Sylvia Jones@SylviaJonesMPP

Our government is taking action to protect local communities and break the cycle of addiction. By ending funding for all drug injection sites in communities with a HART Hub, we are focused on treatment, recovery and safer communities. Learn more: news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…

@StevensonLDN Looks like the city has already endorsed treatment... why do you hide that?

@StevensonLDN A reminder, the City endorsed connecting "community members with the exhaustive array of evidence-based support and interventions. This continuum acknowledges all evidence-based support and evidence-based treatment options as working collaboratively to support individuals..."

These are excerpts of only my comments, you can find the full article online. This is a very important part of a much bigger and much needed discussion in #LdnOnt. When will our City abandon the failed and radicalized Harm Reduction Model for the provincially endorsed Recovery Model? More and more Londoners are saying “enough is enough” when it comes to the prevalence of illegal drug use. Our City faces the increasingly devastating impacts on businesses, neighbourhood parks, overall public safety and the lives of those living and working in our social housing and shelter system. Not to mention the taxpayers who cannot afford the soaring financial costs of constant damages, loss and enforcement - all seemingly without meaningful results (as we seem to just be chasing our tail)….

@StevensonLDN You see the medical professionals in your community as "Radicalized"? Isn't the City trying to recruit new medical practitioners that will offer evidence-based care to Londoners? Seems like an off-putting environment to practice medicine.

@JulesWinn010 @StevensonLDN Its one thing to push back with educated rebuttal. It's another to just push back These sites prevent further costs to taxpayers.

@somethingcl3ver @StevensonLDN People have made bad decisions since forever, but just because something has always happened doesn't mean communities should accept, subsidize, or normalize the destructive behavior without pushback.

All $$ for supervised consumption sites in Ontario will end June 13, 2026 This is welcome news for Londoners who live, work or own property near our site (Carepoint 446 York St) It’s time for #LdnOnt to focus on recovery!!! It’s time for much needed change! #Hope #Recovery Funding will be redirected to 28 new HART hubs, which will focus on treatment and rehabilitation but will not provide supervised consumption, needle exchange, or "safe supply" services. The final step in this government's transition away from harm reduction services toward an abstinence-based treatment model known as Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment (HART) hubs.

Another 84,000 jobs lost in February. Mostly in the private sector. Unemployment up to 6.7%. Canada needs a plan to restore growth, support workers, and get our economy back on track.

@shewch5 @AOgieglo @DanMazierMP Look at these numbers in the hundreds of communities without SCS sites and you'll see the same trends. Just because you disagree with them doesn't mean they are causing the problem.

@AOgieglo @DanMazierMP Compare pre and post SCS Vancouver and tell me how successful this model is. Compare the number of children who OD’d prior with the current system. You package this as compassion while ignoring the reality.

When Canada's Minister of Health refuses to say that injecting fentanyl is unsafe, we have a fundamental problem in this country. We used to tell our kids that drugs are dangerous. Somewhere along the way, that stopped and now our government funds and promotes drug use under the term “harm reduction”. Think about the language alone. The government calls them “safe” injection sites. They are literally embedding the word “safe” into the name of a place where people inject illegal drugs like fentanyl and meth. And we wonder why young Canadians are confused about whether these drugs are dangerous… When government spends tax dollars on opioids in the name of “safe supply,”we are telling every young Canadian that hard drugs can be safe if the government supplies it. When supervised consumption sites in Vancouver literally advertise online that they welcome anyone 16 and older, they are telling teenagers if they want to try drugs for the first time, there is a government-approved facility ready to welcome them. That is not harm reduction, it is a complete moral failure. So yes, when the Minister of Health refuses to say that injecting fentanyl is dangerous, that tells me a lot. It tells me she believes in a country where drug use is normalized, enabled, and even funded. Our kids are watching, and they deserve a government that will return to telling the truth. There is nothing safe about doing drugs.

BREAKING Mark Carney's Health Minister REFUSES to say that injecting fentanyl is unsafe. Fentanyl is the most used drug in federally approved supervised consumption sites. The Liberals' radical drug enablement agenda has no limits.

@AdamZivo Your data is for 2024... How could this possibly be relevant to a statement about the current state of opioid poisonings in 2026? You're getting lazy

@LailaGoodridge If you want to pass a policy, don't point fingers in the rationale. It comes across as petty, uncooperative and performative If you actually cared to pass meaningful policy you would table it in an unbiased manner. This is clearly done for your twitter feed, not Canadians

BREAKING: Liberals just voted against our Conservative motion to bar serious criminals from making refugee claims, end leniency that avoids deportation, and repeal Bills C-5 and C-75 so repeat extortionists stay in jail. Canadians deserve a justice system that puts public safety first.
