Absolutely still gathering info. Definitely not giving up.

The SOS forum like the Prosper Conference need a deeper look into where the $ is coming from.

But based on current political trends truth, decency & ethics are from a bygone era. So even if it was all exposed (PPN) no one would care.

I remember that. I sat beside Angel. In 2019 I still had a modicum of hope.

In 2019 my son was still alive.

In 2025 I want those in power to look me in the eyes & tell me my son's life wasn't worth the political risk of bold action and that his death was an acceptable price to pay for cowardice.

tweeted as "I deserve to live": DTES resident Angel Gates says there is a lack of respect for vulnerable people in the Downtown Eastside

Addiction, homelessness, and the toxic drug supply exists in every community even in small towns with a population of 700 residents. Looking forward to sharing my story of overcoming addiction to the amazing town of Norman Wells. #Wedorecover #Inspireothers

Police are telling Moms Stop the Harm that it’s ok for the group to remain on the sidewalk outside the hospital. Asked whether there’ll be any problems from @CityOfVictoria bylaw officers, Sgt Craig Barker says there shouldn’t be. “Protesting is a protected right,” Sgt said.

Doctors/Moms stop the harm working with @vicpdcanada to find the right place to set up. Doctors/group want to liaise with police, not talking to Island Health any longer after what sounded like frustrating back and forths.

Police say they’re wanting to find a solution.

Vancouver Island doctors set up overdose prevention sites without government blessing The sites are being set up at Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria and Nanaimo General Hospital, and organizers plan to run them all through this week.

Let me simplify :
The root cause of addiction is trauma.
The root cause of unregulated poisoned drug supply is bad policies.
Until we address the root causes addiction will continue to go untreated, and people will continue to die of illicit drugs.
