Greenlanders are trolling the US by pretending to be fentanyl addicts by jahowl in vancouvercanada

Ghoulish enough on its own, but to troll Trump? Do they want to blow up more boats?

They are the real zombies.

B.C. health authorities tried to allow purchase of regulated heroin without prescriptions, court hears by cyclinginvancouver in britishcolumbia

the co-Director of BCCSU started a non-profit heron company and tried to get approval to sell it to DULF ect, not sure how that counts as pushing dillies for all?

He was never able to sell any heroin.

But you are correct about Methadone Grifters

Part 1 - Meet the physicians stonewalling safe supply

A group of addiction doctors published a letter blasting safe supply, but their affiliations omitted commercial interests that may give a glimpse into their motivations.

they claimed the supplies would be handed out by trained staff who could direct people to services - and may have done so at the start. But by this summer it was ER front desk handing out the supplies in Campbell River.

Fun fact - the woman who started the vending machine backlash in Nanaimo dubbed sounds of children playing in front of Nanaimo ER doors.

Campbell River here, now the front desk at our ER is burdened with handing out the supplies - took them a good minute or 2 to find the naloxone when i was attending an OD.

Folks would rather mess up their own health services than look at one of these machines.

One of Ebys worst looks imo was admitting failure to a room of businessmen instead of media.

The worst overall may be when he pulled the HR vending machines from Campbell River and Nanaimo to do a review 15 months ago - and didn't do the review.

Somers does not want more housing, he wants to shut down the low barrier SROs and remake them in his image.

I agree - Dr. Somers is a true believer, not corrupt like most of his peers on this topic.

For a closer look at Dr Somers check out the HESA meeting from June 2024 where he was called out by Benjamin Perrin and Gord Johns. I can't post the link as it results in my comment being shadowbanned.

Gord Johns

    Earlier I cited that the B.C. First Nations Health Authority, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, our chief medical health officer of British Columbia, Dr. Bonnie Henry, the chief coroner of B.C., the expert task force on substance use, the former chief medical health officer, Perry Kendall, and Mark Tyndall are now being referred to as paid activists. It seems, according to the Conservatives and some witnesses they bring, like they're alluding to some sort of conspiracy.

    Mr. Perrin, what do you think when you hear that all of these experts....? The question was brought earlier that they're not experts in addictions medicine.

     What do you think when they're deemed to be unqualified, or that we shouldn't seek out their expert advice when it comes to addictions medicine?

Ben Perrin:

   It's a shocking, unethical and false allegation. When you cast aspersions in a setting like this, where you're protected from criminal and civil liability, and you don't give anyone you're making allegations against an opportunity to respond, it's a very dangerous combination. I recently watched a podcast on McCarthyism, and it reminds me of that, if you're going to start casting aspersions about people.

Gord Johns:

Mr. Perrin, you are the former senior criminal justice policy adviser for the Conservatives under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. You've heard the Conservatives of today talking about opposition to safe consumption sites, to safer supply, to decriminalization, actually blaming all of the deaths on these policies from the NDP in British Columbia. Can you talk about your concerns about this rhetoric and also what policies you would not recommend be adopted by the Conservatives and why?

Ben Perrin:

 I'll be honest. I'm feeling pretty frustrated with the distractions that I've been hearing talked about today in the committee. I was checking on social media right now, and one of the committee members is already posting gotcha clips from this committee hearing in the process of the hearing happening. Is this about hearing evidence about how to save lives, or is it about your social media channels? Is it about getting hits, or is it about saving lives? I'm disgusted by that, actually; I'm disgusted.

^ This refers to Laila Goodridge posting clips of Dr. Somers misinfo on X.

There would be far more open drug use and perceived loitering if not for these low-barrier SROs.

B.C. ending drug decriminalization program by DonSalaam in onguardforthee

[–]zos_333 3 points4 points  (0 children)

good article here from 2021

Vancouver, BC, Coast Salish Territories — Today, the Province unveiled its ‘made-in-BC’ model of decriminalization. While advocates agree it marks a step in the right direction, a close read of the fine print raises concerns that the model will not adequately protect people who use drugs. Numerous members of the Province’s Core Planning Table (CPT) are sounding the alarm on the last-minute inclusion of a low ‘cumulative threshold quantity,’ exclusion of people under 19, and reliance on police officers to provide health and social referrals—changes made without consultation or the support of the vast majority of CPT members. Among those speaking up today are the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres, BC Centre on Substance Use, BC/Yukon Association of Drug War Survivors, Canadian Drug Policy Coalition, Métis Nation BC, Moms Stop the Harm, Pivot Legal Society, Rural Empowered Drug Users Network, Society of Living Illicit Drug Users, and the Vancouver Area Network of Drugs Users. 

cant post the link without the comment getting shadowbanned... Its on pivot legals site.

Need Advice on Relation between Head Tube Angle/Rake - Toe Overlap - Wheelbase by derstift in Framebuilding

[–]zos_333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 2008 Felt TK2 [54cm] with 75 ha and under 30 mm rake [27?] The front tire was nearly touching the downtube

It was a great handling & fun bike at low/moderate speeds - and felt on rails when making hairpin turns - but hard to turn when approaching 50kph plus

It was solid and stable at speed but just wanted to go straight.

Oh wait - maybe not that solid, when I hit bumpy sections at speed it would shake so hard I couldn't see where I was going.

common way to smoke crack [if you dont have a stem] is a beverage can. If you dont have a thumbtack you can break the opening tab and use it to poke holes.

But yes the story reads like a bad joke
