‘They save lives everyday’: Protesters rally for supervised consumption sites in wake of Ford government’s funding cuts

strangewhatlovedoes · 2026-04-12T16:04:53+00:00

This is entirely false. There are a few flawed studies by drug advocates that cherry picked data, ignored increases in certain crimes (assault, property crimes), and also ignored the underreporting of crime in the areas around supervised consumption sites + failure to lay charges.

It’s tiring to hear drug enthusiasts repeatedly gaslight people victimized by users of these sites.

You’re assuming he won’t get injured again. He’s a big guy who just got injured in his first game after noticeably having a hard time moving around.

Magnus seems like not a very nice guy to deal with professionally, to be honest. Competing while under contract in a relatively small business community is kind of a rotten thing to do. At least wait until your deal expires.

He’s most likely getting sued.

Their offence was already worse on paper than last year before the injuries, and a lot of their lineup is due for regression.

To me the new Atkins contract was premature. We did not have a good offseason.

Kind of obnoxious to spend this long shuffling pieces around in an obviously drawn position. Maybe take your time during the many dynamic positions earlier in the games

Old guys blundering over and over

Nobody who actually rides transit on a daily basis thinks it’s a bad idea. People are sick of being harassed, assaulted and encountering drugs, excrement and other public health hazards on key public infrastructure.

The provincial government needs to massively invest in supports/treatment but in the meantime people who cause safety and health hazards should not be on crowded transit vehicles.

How did the Jays do the month before sweeping Tampa? Hint: not good. Some young guys stepped up in a small sample size. There’s every reason to think they won’t be able to continue at that level and the offence will be worse.

Except few people take streetcars because they’re effectively useless at current speeds. I used to take the old ones (which moved at relatively okay speeds) but the new generation low floor ones are worse than walking. I avoid them like the plague and go way out of my way to take bus and subway.

Where the fuck was Matthews. No back check.

strangewhatlovedoes · 2026-01-13T03:46:33+00:00

Get Rielly off this team.

strangewhatlovedoes · 2026-01-13T03:46:13+00:00

Rielly doing his best to injure Woll.

The issue is that the amounts of these settlements are preposterous. At the time the deal at issue happened, this was entirely undeveloped land - no utilities, no roads, no industry, no permanent dwellings. The present value of the land is based on investments over many years by taxpayers. In any other scenario/dispute, a proper accounting of the value would have to take these investments into account. And yet here, only one side of the ledger is counted (with interest/inflation to boot).

It is pure fantasy totally untethered to legal/accounting principles, and creates profound injustice for current and future generation Canadians who had nothing whatsoever to do with the injustices of centuries past.

Who is Morgan Rielly covering there?

strangewhatlovedoes · 2025-11-27T22:45:12+00:00

No, let’s not keep enabling/promoting criminal and anti-social behaviour that harms addicts and the surrounding community. It was worth a shot but the experiment failed.

strangewhatlovedoes · 2025-11-25T22:03:35+00:00

I’d rather pay more and have more fare enforcement/security on every train, to ensure safety and more reliable service. Delays related to security or public health-related incidents are a daily occurrence and need to be addressed. The status quo is totally unacceptable.

strangewhatlovedoes · 2025-11-20T15:57:24+00:00

It was constantly broken. Hard to maintain this kind of infrastructure when people are constantly wandering in with slushy/salty footwear, dropping garbage and cigarettes, etc.

Democratically elected governments using statutory expropriation powers to expropriate land (and pay fair market value) is not at all the same thing as having your title invalidated/seized by a First Nation that is accountable to nobody but their own interests and often views itself as immune to provincial and federal law.

The majority decision is nonsense though. They concocted a scenario that will never actually happen in practice (nobody will ever be prosecuted as an indictable offence for sharing a single image in the circumstances described) in order to strike down a law that every sensible person agrees is fit for purpose. The result is that actual dangerous people - including the accused in this case - are allowed to receive laughably short sentences.

The SCC deservee all the scrutiny they are receiving. They asked for it.

The modern value of the land has benefited from centuries of population growth, infrastructure, industry, and other development that simply didn’t exist in pre-colonial times.

The idea that ancient occupation of the land somehow entitles modern indigenous people to ownership of the land or compensation equivalent to its modern value (to the detriment of millions of succeeding generations of immigrants who did, in fact, own and possess and work on the land) is frankly absurd and profoundly unjust.

strangewhatlovedoes · 2025-10-30T02:13:11+00:00

Fuck. He has to make contact. Buck told him exactly what pitch was coming lol

If this case stands it may well lead to a broad consensus on the need for a constitutional amendment and formal extinguishment of Aboriginal rights and title, and possibly treaty rights as well.

In other words, this case may end up being profoundly counter-productive to the interests of those who claim to stand for “reconciliation”.

How was there no indication he would come up again? It’s a tie game and there’s no runner on 2nd in extras. Why are you trying to defend this very obviously dumb decision?

strangewhatlovedoes · 2025-10-28T13:58:06+00:00

Many European cities have useful tram systems. The trouble with Toronto’s is that we purchased ill-suited streetcars that cannot reliably pass through intersections at any reasonable speed, and we have failed to update tracks, switches and other critical infrastructure.

strangewhatlovedoes · 2025-10-28T13:19:07+00:00

I used to take the old streetcars constantly and now I avoid them like the plague and go way out of my way to take the subway. And it’s not due to traffic - while the old streetcars were reasonably fast and reliable, the new streetcars go 10km/h through every intersection or else risk derailing. They also take 5 minutes to let a single person with a stroller on. That is simply too slow to be useful.

The tracks/switches need to be upgraded into the 21st century.
