this is why harm reduction should NOT be professionalized. this is why we should NOT rely on state funded or nonprofit agencies to save our lives. harm reduction is not a job, it is our responsibility toward our fellow humans. this whole spiel of “people will die if you do not fund us” sounds like extortion because it is extortion.
it’s up to us to look out for one another. we are all we’ve got. and we are all we need. #harmreduction #harmreductionsaveslives #communitysurvivalnetworks https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/saskatoon-drugs-overdoses-harm-reduction-saskatchewan-9.7162551?cmp=rss

Let's hope it looks better than that gulag they are calling a 72-hr #detox.

As for the business owner speaking out, that pisses me off.

People are using now on the streets and are dying...a staffed #consumptionsite is far less risky than that. The "not in my backyard " mentality has got to go.

The revelations about the government’s numbers were also frustrating for Green Party Leader Sonia Furstenau.

“This government — and in particular when it comes to anything to do with health care — loves rolling out a whole bunch of numbers that they think are going to somehow convince people that what they're experiencing in their communities isn't real,” she told the IJF.

But she said she was exhausted by the other parties’ deflection on the issue, and by their shared push for involuntary care. She described secured treatment facilities as the “the most expensive end of the continuum of care” for substance use disorders, and said they are not well supported by the evidence.

“We are starving for access to preventive and proactive mental health care services in this province, and we hear again and again from parents who say ‘I couldn't get help from my child when they needed it,’” Furstenau said.

“The response of both Eby and Rustad is to say, well, we'll wait until that person is in absolutely the worst state of crisis and then we'll force them into involuntary care. It makes no sense.”
