Disgusting! Andrew in a Supervised Consumption Site consuming a drug while he makes fun of people who use other drugs! We have lost over 50,000 Canadians to toxic drugs, my son included. The Conservatives owe our families an apology! Using our pain for political profit. Shame! #cdnpoli #MSTH #4Ryan

It's a temporary injunction but we will celebrate it a win! #saveONsites #onpoli #Harmreductionsaveslives #4Ryan

Advocates and allies in #Toronto area, your support and presence is needed Monday and Tuesday at the courthouse as the hearing to save Ontario's SCSs takes place. Lives are on the line so show up if you can.

Every drug death is a policy failure, and is a policy choice! Pur loved ones matter! End the war on drugs.

Deachman: These faces will make you think differently about the homeless Jodi McCullough marks the 2nd anniversary of her twin sister's overdose death. She plans to 'keep fighting' on behalf of the homeless.

They were not numbers, they were real people with real life stories. See beyond the stigma!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Our Ryan was so proud to be Irish and this day was special to him.

Cheers, to you Ryan!

Whether you are Irish just for the day or Irish always we offer this blessing for you to hold onto and remember for the hard days.

Involuntary treatment doesn't work and it's deadly, meanwhile we have people dying while on wait list for voluntary treatment. Make it make sense!

This both angers and saddens me. The lives of our family and friends are not disposable. Stop treating them as they are are! Shame on Doug Ford and his deadly politics!

We will continue to show up and speak out and hold those in positions of power accountable. We will NOT be intimidated in to relinquishing our Charter protected rights!

First they came for the advocates....

City of #Barrie has threatened me. My response in shortform.
"Trespassing us from City Hall for exercising our Charter protected rights would be a violation of the highest law of our country and we would confidently challenge any such violation in court."

This is a violation of human rights and we all should be concerned. Forced treatment doesn't work, causes trauma, and costs lives. Meanwhile people seeking treatment die while on waiting lists. #cdnpoli #DrugSky #4Ryan #MSTH

March 6th is Black Balloon Day!
This is an international day of remembrance and awareness.
We invite you to join us as we remember those we have lost

This is one of the many reasons to vote Ford out today. The closure of 10 CTS sites in Ontario is going to result in needless preventable deaths which will impact families and communities in immeasurable ways. I know, and I ask #4Ryan let's #VoteFordOut! #onpoli #saveONsites #MSTH

We showed up at #Barrie City Hall today to take part in a provincial day of action to save Ontario's SCSs. We chose this location as our Mayor had been quite vocal about his opposition to SCSs and his support of usethe Notwithstanding Clause. We will continue to show up and speak out! #4Ryan

Downtown vigil to save SCS in Barrie part of provincewide effort 'Safe consumption sites are a support for people who are betrayed by the system and are working to get their lives back,' says Barrie woman

Today's vigil wad beautiful and powerful. It took an emotional toll but the coming together of community is always empowering. Let's save our sites! Time to vote Ford out! #4Ryan #RyansHope #MSTH #onpoli #saveONscs
