Is this report on the agenda?

This count is part of the data used to make decisions on housing in Kamloops.
People need to realize that those 55+, our seniors at a 26% increase, are experiencing homelessness.
And they are many more on the brink of homelessness....which can bring more harsh realities coated with trauma.

Pierre Poilievre this morning.

Ironic that those harping for change at top (f*ck Trudeau brand) voted exactly the same, now for years, in their locals.
Interior ridings have been swept (&slept), yet again! Small 'c' conservative stranglehold will be unbearable & exhausting.

With Pierre losing his seat, do you think the lies will stop pilfering media platforms?

I sure hope so....

IMO, that is a crazy number of Con wins, considering the change that was wanted. I was sure half of those riding would change 'from' Conservative.

Also, brother murdered last year and dealing with his mother's mental health.
Very sad outcome that very possibly could be health with much sooner concerning grief, loss, and trauma.
We have many in k-12 suffering similarly but zero support; not their 'educational mandate'! ๐Ÿ˜ก

I really enjoyed and completely align with this new research. Great presentation and run through of the terminology, data, and information about the sketchy and old research of the claims.
Thankyou so much for all your efforts in this important work, Ian!๐Ÿ’•

โ€œThis increased criminalization is going to sweep up my co-workers, both my union brothers and sisters, and those who work cash construction, many of whom got addicted by trying to treat physical pain or mental health problems acquired at work.โ€

This image from Moms Stop The Harm features a red circular pattern of footprints and includes a powerful message challenging misconceptions about substance use:

Donโ€™t equate all substance use with mental illness

Itโ€™s often driven by trauma, pain, or poverty

Forced treatment fails

Support and safe supply heal

Punishment only keeps us going in circles

It highlights the need for compassionate, evidence-based approaches rather than punitive ones. The circular footprints reinforce the idea that without change, harmful policies keep repeating.

Substance use isnโ€™t always linked to mental illness .. itโ€™s often rooted in trauma, pain, or poverty. Forced treatment fails, while support and safe supply offer healing. Punishment just keeps us stuck in cycles. Let's choose care over criminalization. โ€“ Moms Stop The Harm

This is a big deal for CSAM.

Unfortunately, nothing in the Liberal platform suggests theyโ€™ll protect politically besieged supervised consumption sites. Not one mention of harm reduction period.

Their new drug policy ideas amount to empowering cops to tear open mail now with a โ€œgeneral warrant.โ€

Itโ€™s not uncommon for people seeking on demand detox and treatment to be told to call daily for a spot.

This is heartbreaking and discouraging, especially in crisis.

Help should be there when someone is ready.
