11 years ago, my son Danny died. He was one of the early victims of the toxic drug crisis, one of over 50,000.
This video, showing Danny as a young chef, gives you a glimpse into what we have lost.
Keep fighting for #harmreduction. It would have saved him.

Regulation saves lives. When drug regulations aren't strict people die. They don't have to die. Alcohol, opioids, stimulants: regulations save lives. In Canada we only strictly regulate alcohol and thankfully a tainted supply doesn't exist. We could regulate more.

Yep. De-risking for the capitalists. Taxpayers on the hook.
Funny how a lot of the rationale for capitalist profit is they take the risks.
But it's the government that often takes the risks, the taxpayers that pay when they fail. When they succeed? Money for the private sector.

When pundits talk about “de-risking” pipeline investment, they mean that we cover the losses and private companies walk off with the profits.
