In Aug of 2017, we opened Ontario's first overdose prevention site. We were burning out from having to respond to overdoses without the resources we needed. This emergency should not be downloaded on to drop in workers. The province needs to reopen Supervised Consumption Services.
This is shocking. Since @fordnation shut down supervised consumption sites, drop-in programs are seeing massive increases in overdoses — including a 288% increase just last month. Overdoses don't go away; they get moved to spaces with fewer supports and resources.

Cons acting like everything is a joke and a game.
PC MPPs have given Tyler Allsopp three standing ovations for defending the government's record, after the NDP asked about Ontario's growing unemployment rate. The PC party was then cautioned by the Speaker to get in line. #onpoli.
