  • I dunno, it didn’t work but it didn’t not work either to address the toxic drug crisis on its own either. Just having decriminalization and safe supply only, without proper rehabilitation standards, with a lack of ample housing and support to get people’s life together after drugs causing long waitlists to receive longer-term support, means that these just kept the status quo. We need a Manitoba style “Your Way Home” (PDF link) program, wrap-around individualized treatments for both homelessness and addiction, neither of which should be crimes.

    I agree that criminalization wastes space in jails and taxpayer money, and puts up more barriers and hardship on people who already are having a rough stretch of life. I personally don’t care because 99.9% of addicts in Gastown largely mind their own business, but I acknowledge that open drug use does make others uncomfortable and that 1 in 1000 has led to stabbings and other harmful behaviours to the public.















  • You should think twice about visiting the US… with its current fascist presidency, anything unusual with documents is more likely to result in ample questioning and possible detention at the border.

    If you are really trying to get into the US and then come back to Canada, you’ll want to urgently reach out to the US consulate that the visa and passport are lost in the mail, so you would need a temporary entry permit/documents. Especially if you still have your Canada-issued student visa, visit your home country’s consulate to see if they can issue a temporary passport. It would still be good to call Global Affairs Canada to ask given the documents lost and what you have, which documents you need to return to Canada. Then go to Service Canada to get those documents as quickly as possible. More likely than not you will have to delay that trip even if you managed to apply for every document necessary.
