International Public Speaker. Harm Reduction and Recovery advocate. Survivor of addiction, gangs and homelessness. Telling my story. Opinions are mine.

Not bad for a "Guy" who had to brought back to life 6 times & struggled with homelessness & addiction for decades in #dtes. I wouldn't be alive today without harm reduction AND I wouldn't have the life I have today without my recovery. First party of 5 #family photo. #WeDoRecover

I've learned a lot in life .... People struggling will always remember how you made them feel, it doesn't take much to be kind to someone. I know I've never forgotten ....
The wind was blowing in Toronto when I got off the train yesterday. They had snow on the way and with the wind-chill it felt like -7. Brrr 🥶 I saw a homeless guy bundled up in a doorway sleeping. I had somewhere to be, but I woke him up, gave him 20 bucks and we had a quick

He also pardoned Ross Ulbricht last January who was convicted of MASSIVE FENTANYL distribution on the Internet.

TRUMP: We are applying tariffs to Canada because of drugs. ALSO TRUMP: I'm going to give a full pardoned Juan Orlando Hernandez who was convicted of drug trafficking 400 tons of cocaine. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE 🤯
President Trump wants to pardon a guy convicted of helping to bring 400 tons of cocaine to the US while bombing people in boats supposedly to stop drugs.

Sorry, Vancouver Mayor, but this is ass-backwards thinking. The SROs on Granville Street ARE problematic. Investments to improve living conditions and security, mental health and social supports, job training … there are proven ways the City of Vancouver could help its formerly

ORGANIZED CRIME IS THE PROBLEM. Not health care.
Across the region, VCH has identified an increase in opioids being mixed with medetomidine, a powerful animal tranquilizer. (1 of 6)

Say it with me: ⚠️CONTAMINATED DRUGS⚠️ NOT: ❌ The NDP/Liberal’s “failed experiment” ❌ “The safe supply agenda” ❌ harm reduction ❌ more forced treatment CTV story 🔗: https://t.co/ucsuEYxOcd

They took passports, medical files, even attorney-client documents. @EricTrump exposes what really happened.

Again, imagine if all the BILLIONAIRES in the world did something similar to this instead of being so focused on going to Mars or partying on yachts ? The world would be such a better place for everyone.
This is incredible 😍. Eminem and his daughter cleared 700,000 in school lunch debt across 103 schools, making sure children never go hungry. ❣️❣️

LEGISLATORS, FIRE OFFICIALS, JOURNALISTS: please do your jobs and look out for the people you serve. ⚠️ A NEW CONTAMINANT IN THE ILLICIT DRUG SUPPLY = A SPIKE IN OVERDOSES. This isn’t the time for political gaming. People at risk need to know the facts. Here they are: ➡️
Vancouver firefighters hit fifty four overdose calls in one day. In one city. In one shift window. Fifty four overdoses in one day is not a system under strain. It is a system that has absolutely failed. Fire crews are burning out. Families are breaking. The crisis is getting

Whenever I write a post comparing the harms of unregulated illegal drugs with the harms of regulated legal drugs (aka alcohol), a bunch of you pipe up to say: “You can’t compare them!” and “If we knew alcohol could kill us we would just stop drinking it.” NO YOU WOULDN’T Here’s

People ask me why I keep sharing my story and perspective, even when I keep getting attacked for it, even in the face of a coordinated smear campaign by RW politicians and journalists. THIS IS WHY 👇

When I talk about those who politicize the drug crisis, THIS IS WHAT I MEAN 👇 Here is Kelowna Centre MLA @Kristina4BC, talking about trial evidence from a “former safe-injection worker.” Kristina is outraged. Kristina says British Columbians deserve more accountability.
At the Damien Hudson murder trial, we heard shocking testimony: a former safe-injection worker said she was encouraged to work with drug dealers - even helping one flee after a shooting - because “without them, we don’t have clients.” This is not keeping people safe. This is not

To all those anti-harm reduction advocates who are against harm reduction services. If there was no naloxone, no supervised consumption sites, no access to medications people would have died, is that what you want? I CAN NOT BELIEVE THESE PEOPLE ARE DEBATING HUMAN LIVES. 🤬

Sheesh .... Americans are asking Black Friday for medical bills. I'm so grateful to live in Canada 🇨🇦 where we have universal healthcare and don't go bankrupt for an unforeseen health condition.
How about a Black Friday for medical bills

If this Black Friday sale isn't about 50% off groceries then no one really cares. NO ONE!
