19,550 people across Ontario. So many more people left grieving.
By any measure, a real-time, preventable tragedy.

The case stems from a cop making arrests at an overdose scene after a 911 call.
“The ppl with [Cheryl Delorme] did what we hope anyone would do,” said DJ Larkin of @CANdrugpolicy. Yet, they and she "were arrested for drug possession.”

Thanks to Toronto Board of Health for today's Emergency meeting, the intelligent and heartfelt delegations - and the leadership to come #CTS.

Eliminating Ontario's #CTS sites is a deadly, deliberate decision affecting all taxpayers. Today we asked the Auditor General to complete a value for money audit today with @WGDrugStrategy and concerned MPPs @MikeSchreiner and @AislinnClancyKC

Leading with love at Ontario's Consumption and Treatment Service sites, despite a hostile and harmful provincial government. #YesToCTS #NeverGiveUp
It’s not a question if many people are going to die, it’s a certainty.
Sylvia Jones once said "people are not going to die" from the closure of supervised consumption sites, but her government didn't actually do an assessment to see if people will die or not. #onpoli
The closure bill passed yesterday before the AG report.
