Wait, so the "energy hub", touted as a "game-changer" in meeting 's reduction goals, is actually just a $36M NATURAL GAS BOILER?!

Like, fucking cool, guys, but can we pls spend money like this on fucking PEOPLE? Maybe ? Maybe ??

I actually *care* about carbon emissions, but how is using, I dunno, industrial revolution-aged tech and locking into ongoing dependence on fossil fuels helping ... at all?

So when I got to the pharmacy (for the second time today, thanks “family” day🫠) I was greeted by this giant sign in the window (& again at the counter) that states the pharmacy keeps all narcotics in a time locked safe.

There were already clear notices about how narcotics are dispensed/kept on site… but I guess the province decided that wasn’t enough & more hostile signage was needed🙃

If people outside the 'tough-on-crime' bubble don't start forming cohesive arguments, this will be the donkey rides to power.

People need to get up to speed on illegal drug supply regulation as soon as humanly possible.

People outside the law & order part of the political spectrum need to begin reclaiming space within public safety discussions:

"A regulated supply is not charity for criminals. It’s common sense for communities. We’ve done it for decades with alcohol. Best of all, it’s voluntary and consent-based, and avoids traumatizing people."
