Good morning everyone. Going on CBC early edition with Stephen Quinn at 7:40 am to talk about the drug crisis and recovery.

SCOOP!

Former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopolous takes legal action against two podcasters after an alleged campaign of harassment, and intimidation over the course of a year.

This is tied directly to the “Corrupt Care” scandal.

They actually said this out loud...

Wild how fast people judge something they don't understand.

Your job status should never decide if you live or suffer.
Minimum wage, no job, doesn’t matter.
Food, water, shelter, healthcare...
those are human rights.
Not something you have to qualify for.

Let’s be clear:
Harm reduction saves lives.
Toxic drug supply takes them.
Everything else is spin.
I said it straight in today’s radio interview 👇

I'm always out there sharing recovery is possible.

This is an important question – "Was there anyone at that table who had actually recovered from addiction?"
I would nominate Mr.F. @guyfelicella.bsky.social if he has the time or inclination, or any member of
@momsstoptheharm.bsky.social

WTF is wrong with the President of the United States?

Serious question. Not even partisan anymore, just basic reality.

Asking for the entire planet. 🌍🔥

I’ve spent Easter homeless.
I’ve spent Easter in food lines.
I’ve spent Easter in prison.
Today, I’m spending Easter with family.
That’s what recovery does.
Happy Easter everyone ❤️

Getting $750 a month didn’t end homelessness – but our study shows it still improved the lives of homeless people The study found that regularly getting cash made it easier for many homeless people to meet their immediate and personal needs.

Shocking discovery:
reducing poverty… improves people’s lives.

“Danielle Smith's government is exempting celebrity investor Kevin O'Leary's massive Wonder Valley data centre near Grand Prairie, AB, from a provincial environmental assessment”

Because of course they did.

The Alberta government is constantly whining about “federal overreach” — and constantly giving it reasons to do it.

I just drink mine black

I went to grab a coffee this morning.
A guy in front of me orders an Americano.
Cashier calls out:
“12oz Canadiano ☕🇨🇦”
When it was my turn, I smiled:
“I’ll take a Canadiano too.”
Btw, that's cool
She grinned:
“You know it.”

We Have a Substance Use Prevention Problem Having kids hear from people with lived experience can help move the needle

Study finds the preventative power of lived experience. Something @guyfelicella.bsky.social knows and aligns with feedback I get on my talks.
Important limitations discussed in the study.

Breaking: apparently there were eight million “paid protesters” yesterday…

Eight. Million.

At that point it’s not a protest, it’s a population.
LMAO 🤣

Omg people need to stop defending Tiger Woods.

This isn’t about golf or legacy.
It’s about someone choosing AGAIN to get behind the wheel impaired and gamble with other people’s lives!

Fame doesn’t excuse recklessness, it exposes it!

GET SOME HELP, TIGER.

8/ And that should scare you more than anything.

7/ If this doesn’t make you uncomfortable,
you’ve already accepted the problem as normal.

6/ We don’t lack solutions.
We lack the will to care.

5/ Every tent you see is a policy failure.
Every person suffering is a system failure.

4/ Housing isn’t radical.
Letting people suffer on the street is.

3/ You don’t solve homelessness by pushing people out of sight.
You solve it by giving people a place to live.

2/ We’ve normalized people sleeping on sidewalks.
We’ve normalized human beings being ignored.
That should terrify you.

1/ Homeless people don’t make me feel unsafe.
A society that lets them suffer in plain sight does.

The cheapest gas you’ll ever find?

Gaslighting.

And somehow… it’s everywhere.

If talks were going very well, we wouldn’t be sending thousands of troops to the Middle East

Shelters need to be closed during the day to be cleaned. ABC had 3.5 years to plan.

This is more of Ken Sim playing musical chairs… except in this version of the game… everyone loses.

Vancouver didn’t run out of time, it ran out of political will.

Years of inaction.
Then FIFA shows up and suddenly it’s “do something, quick.”

Longer shelter hours aren’t solutions.
They’re optics.
Shelters aren’t housing. Never have been.

They just hide the crisis instead of solving it.

You don’t solve social crises with more police.

You solve them with housing, healthcare, and access to addiction and mental health services.
Anything else is just noise!
