Since the congregation took naloxone training in March, there’s been seven outside St. Albans. But that number is quite modest. At the drop-in centre beneath the church, where some of Ottawa’s most afflicted seek daytime refuge once the overnight shelters close, they’re doing at least one [naloxone application] a day.

Comparing nicotine addiction to opioid addiction is… Something.

Meh, opioid addiction is a waste of our time. We should let them figure it out themselves. They’re all adults.

You don’t understand why people are addicted to drugs

I think you don’t understand it. These people made a choice to start using drugs and got addicted. It sucks but they made that choice.

Not sure why the rest of society needs to pay for their shitty decisions.

No one. Just tired of enabling the scourge of our society and disproportionately investing in people who elect to be a drain on us all. Destroying our downtowns and making everyone unsafe.
