We need accountability, action, and compassion. What the City and Province are doing right now isn’t helping people with addictions — it’s enabling them.

Handing out clean tools to use and then pushing people off the property isn’t a solution. It’s still illegal to use and sell drugs in public, but nothing is being done. Our parks, sidewalks, and businesses are paying the price, and the people struggling aren’t actually getting better.

These are human beings. They deserve real help — treatment, housing, and support — not a system that makes it easier to keep using. This isn’t compassion. It’s harm.

We can’t just keep looking the other way. It’s time for the City and Province to step up, enforce the rules, and put programs in place that actually get people off drugs and into recovery
