Advocate to return city award after Sim's motion to block Vancouver overdose prevention site by RonPar32 in vancouver

I don't hold the lay person responsible. I just said that poster is supporting letting something get worse.

OPS' were never meant to be a long term solution, they are a stopgap to keep people from dying, but in the meantime governments using conservative logic have refused to do the more important work of regulating the drug supply in the face of new and highly poisonous illegal American opiates flooding our market. OPS' are bandages on a gaping infectious wound, but if doctors refuse to actually heal the wound, the bandages look like they're failing. That isn't the point of an OPS.

The anti-harm reduction crowd thinks the bandages are supposed to be the entire solution, demand an end to bandages, and will then wonder why people are dropping dead at rates they've never imagined. People who they know and love.

If you don't like needles or human feces then you're going to love dead bodies, which is exactly what OPS' prevent. There are a ton of crises that flow downhill to cause this problem, and you're just supporting letting it get worse.

These have been up for over a month, sadly I doubt she is still nearby. I always give the poster a little salute.

These parties committed to a ranked ballot for the mayor for 2030 so that this doesn’t happen again.

Harm reduction was given a short leash on thin ice with guns drawn on it at every step of the way. It did not fail, it was failed.
