"Money doesn’t kill drug users any more than it creates them. Drug criminalization, poverty, alienation, sketchy drug supply, bad wares and ignoring the demands of harm reduction advocates kills people."

"The true focus of these camps should be on helping us do the things to help us get off the street but instead the focus seems to be on surveillance and containment."

We can all imagine the uproar if 175 illicit drug users in #BritishColumbia had died in June... of #COVID19.
But they were just illicit #drug-related deaths, so... meh! #BCpoli

"Besides not being practical on any level, asking the homeless to pack up all of their worldly belongings by 7 a.m. every morning is downright cruel. What are they supposed to do with their tents and all their belongings all day?"

Criminalizing simple possession "is a costly, and dangerous mistake. It drives up the cost of policing. It contributes to a national crisis of court delays and crowded prisons. It compounds racial and class inequities..." #canpoli #decriminalize thestar.com/opinion/editoria…

Gov told us for years that nobody will manufacture pharmaceutical grade heroin in Canada. So Martin Schechter (NAOMI) & Perry Kendall (the previous Bonnie Henry) are staring up a company. Holy shit. theglobeandmail.com/canada/b…

It's disingenuous and cruel to insist you're "helping people who are homeless" when it's by force. Arresting people who are homeless and giving them fines is not reasonable, nor a public health or safety practice. It further oppresses and stigmatizes unhoused people. #bcpoli
People are being arrested right now by @vicpdcanada on Pandora as a result of the May 20th enforcement order. This makes no sense and violates National Protocol bit.ly/2A5hCGq. The crime is lack of housing @BC_Housing @ShaneLSimpson @CityOfVictoria
