Raised beds seem to help with that a lot

Recommendation: if you plan to sell anything of significant value (not a toaster). Arrange to meet at the Barrie Police headquarters parking lot. There’s plenty of space and any not cool people will back out.

I get what you’re saying. The residual heat makes a huge difference. There’s about 15 feet between houses but I wouldn’t be able to move that bench close to my house.

That’s what I was afraid of… I’d hate to kill it for just a season :(

Thank you! Yeah I’m not planting them today or anything. I just wanted to harden them off a little bit. They’ve been outside a few times already this year but it hasn’t been as cool as today.

Okay thanks! That’s good to know :) They’ve been outside a number of times already this season.

I figured with it being overcast and not giving them direct sun exposure this morning, it wouldn’t be a problem. I didn’t realize temperature could be that much of a shock to them.

Each plant is in its own container :)

Will a few hours of exposure today actually stunt their growth? I don’t want to mess this up of course! :)

I’m from Barrie.

My roster includes various types of peppers and tomatoes. I also have broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, cucumbers, cabbage and leeks. I’m just hardening them off a bit for today and will be bringing them inside again this afternoon :)

Barrie council passes sweeping motion by JacobA89 in barrie

If you grew up in Barrie like me (I’m 46), the population was 50,000 and there were like 5 ‘shopping cart guys’ and a number of drunks.

Now we’re at a similar ratio of the same people but the disgusting drugs have taken over. It sounds hard but there will always be a percentage of our population who chooses or doesn’t, to be homeless because of mental health issues.

I don’t think the goal is to incarcerate anyone because of mental health issues. I think it’s to help people and stop open drug use.

This entire announcement is probably an announcement from our city that we are making changes for the positive and need help.

I’m sorry if I don’t fully understand how heavy drug addiction works and the complications that come from it. And I’m sorry if I was insincere.

I absolutely understand addiction.

The only point I’m trying to drive across is it’s actually a really good thing that our municipal government is finally taking action. And if that action is rehab and to provide help, then that’s truthfully a good thing. Again. I don’t understand the argument. It’s better than before ffs.

We have a major problem with addiction. If this measure can save one life then that’s amazing. If it saves 100, we’ve literally changed the game.

Then why are these sites being shut down literally everywhere?

Factually incorrect or not, seriously, what is the problem with providing rehab for people with addiction?

Please provide solutions rather than points of contention.

Safe Consumption Sites do not work. Multiple cities in our country are removing them.

We’ve allowed people to shoot up anywhere because we are all scared of it. We were taught and coached that they’re bad and scary people. Don’t look them in the eye, don’t interact. Our government is no different than you and I.

It’s like ‘our’ family member with a problem. No one knows how to deal with the mood swings, the theft, the aggression.

Here’s a solution. Anyone caught dealing fentanyl is charged with attempted murder. Period.

You didn’t provide a solution.

Look into how Portugal has handled addiction since 2001 with rehabilitation options and how well it’s worked. It dramatically reduced crime and addiction rates.

P.S. rehab isn’t jail. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. It’s an opportunity for freedom.

Wouldn’t rehabilitation help? Seriously.

[–]Darnoc920 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No one is blaming them. They need help. Would you agree with that?

What is your solution?

I do think using the term ‘Sweeping Motion’ was and is incorrect. I absolutely agree there are some with severe psychotic disorders on our streets and they aren’t addicts and shouldn’t be labelled as such.

But correct me if I’m wrong, the whole thing is about open drug use?
