@VanCityVice Already known, but still quite the eye-opener especially since it’s from The Globe and Mail. Anyone telling you otherwise? Just check who signs their paycheque.

Good to see after decades of this harm reduction experiment that the Globe & Mail finally admits to the failure. 🧐@somerspsych and @AdamZivo bravely spoke out about this years ago. “Ending the vortex of misery that is Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside” theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editor…

@JarrydJaeger “Supposed impacts”? Is this Jarryd, just some random dude, or Jarryd, the bright young journalist from the UNBIASED Sitka Media?

@AmazingZoltan @RedDirtKid3 There is no fentanyl produced in the U.S. You can easily search the DEA briefings. No fentanyl lab has been found there in 15 years. I mean labs making fentanyl from precursors, not pill presses labs. Also very little is exported to Australia/NZ/Europe. Meth, yes not fentanyl.

@fabulavancouver Latest studies also show these facilities don't reduce OD deaths overall. The entire U.S. West Coast, where Newsom vetoed these sites in California, has lower OD death rates than B.C., despite B.C. having 58 sites. Alberta also has a lower overdose death rate with only 5-6 sites.

@fabulavancouver The real question is whether the "services" you're referring to actually benefit people struggling with addiction, at this time only tiny 12% who still inject and wast mayority who smoke dont care if they use facilities

@Vote4ABC We can’t expect people to stop flooding. I think it’s time for a truly “compassionate” approach. We need supervised flooding sites where people can flood safely with dignity, compassion and harm reduction

@fabulavancouver There’s nothing the City can magically do to satisfy both sides. The point is VCH doesn’t seem to care about the surrounding neighbourhood, as long as the site is busy.

@fabulavancouver 2/ People don’t buy drugs 10 blocks away and then walk to an OPS to use them. After using, they don’t go back to their alley or SRO to read a book. Fentanyl is a short-acting opioid, so many will be looking for any means possible to get more almost immediately.

@fabulavancouver This site had low attendance. Property owner "complaints" weren't the issue. According to VCH, it saw only about 200–300 visits a week, other sites see that in a single day. VCH wanted to move it to a more public, accessible location which tells you what their priorities were.

@fabulavancouver @VanCityVice From “breaking the story” in 2013 to “nothing to see here” more recently, despite unprecedented DTES spending and record OD deaths. Now L. Campbell says we don’t know where the money went and has praised Ken Sim’s approach in DTES. Have you changed your “nothing to see here” ?

@VanCityVice @fabulavancouver LOL. "Protect the poverty pimps at all costs." I still remember her arguing with George Affleck when the PHS audit story broke, like 15 years ago.

@fabulavancouver @CorsMaddy @Josie_Osborne @Vote4ABC Do you think opening more will lead to a lower overdose death rate, less street disorder, and more people entering treatment?
