Somehow the massively overwhelming irony of Rob Ford's brother saying you can't just keep feeding addicts has not yet collapsed him into a singularity.

CP Rail workers were set to go on strike this morning, but the Labour minister intervened and ordered them to vote on CPs "final" proposal before striking, effectively delaying the strike until they can get a vote together. So much for the Trudeau government promising not to intervene in labour.

Oh wow, craven human shitstain and noted Ford enabler Mark Towhey also has opinions on harm reduction. https://twitter.com/towhey/status/987507083829391360 This is definitely a good look for the folks who stood around while their buddy drank himself half to death and smoked crack.

I'm sure he realizes that's the logical conclusion if you were to spend more money on addiction treatment and rehabilitation resources, which they are not going to do. So what they will do is kill Insite. Towhey is not stupid, he's just literally evil.

Supervised injection services in Ontario do provide referrals to treatment programs, as well as medical care, shelter, and other programs to help people. They're not just places where you can use drugs and to pretend that's all they are is disingenuous and evil. They're access points to care and services to a marginalized population with a lot of stigma. And if you get rid of them dozens will die in the short term and thousands in the long term. gently caress this bullshit.

Doug Ford.quote:Doug Ford has taken the unprecedented step of appointing 11 Progressive Conservative candidates to run in the June 7 election — including the son of former premier Mike Harris.

lmao at these two partsquote:Ford made the appointment despite the fact Harris, Jr., had lost the nomination battle to Dan Weber in the neighbouring riding of Waterloo two weeks ago and there were several other candidates interested in running Kitchener-Conestoga. quote:Ironically, Brown and his team had been criticized for being seen to meddle in local nominations, which fuelled grassroots movements like Take Back Our PC Party, which publicly called on him to abide by the Tory constitution, which normally disallows appointments.

So what they will do is kill Insite. It's not just that. He's explicitly making a moral judgment on substance users who (1) do not seek treatment and (2) implicitly on those who do not succeed. Research on the determinants of substance use show that it becomes a coping mechanism for individuals with toxic stress. And it is well known that detoxification and substance use prevention treatments often (if not most of the time) do not succeed on the first attempt. Increasing resources for treatment is a nice thought but it's pointless if the determinants of substance use are not addressed.

Also there needs to be a general acknowledgement that treatment might not succeed and that doesn't make the patient a lesser person. Addiction can happen even without physical dependence. For instance I bite my nails. I can go for weeks or even months without doing it, but every now and then I relapse. Now imagine if there were withdrawal symptoms. Or if biting my nails was the only thing in my life I could control - choose to do by my own desires - or even the only escape mechanism I had... But of course it's more convenient to blame victims rather than scrutinize the root causes of their misery.

Doug Ford is brash, but he's no Donald Trump writes paid conservative shill.quote:The problem is, beyond their plain manner of speaking, Ford is not easily compared to Trump. While it’s true that neither man has much regard for the political or economic establishment and both have shown a penchant for publicly attacking institutions to shock that establishment and delight their fans, that’s where the much of the similarities end and the differences become quite evident. Yes, Trump is a crass bully and a privileged old white man with inherited wealth who engaged in various illegal activities in his youth to further enrich himself, whereas Doug Ford is... younger?

Here's an interesting analysis of how little MPs actually work at their jobs: https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2018/04/21/moonlighting-mps-does-your-representative-in-the-house-of-commons-have-a-second-job.html Since parliament only sits for 26 weeks a year they have about half a year to moonlight at other jobs doing whatever the gently caress they want or just sit on their rear end at home. Like this guy - who is apparently also an active lawyer, university professor and author: quote:Nicola Di Iorio sleeps five hours a night, but he says that’s enough to keep his motor going overtime — which is exactly what he has to do. For not only is he the federal representative for some 114,000 Montrealers, he maintains a side hustle as an active litigator who co-manages a gaggle of labour lawyers at a firm in Quebec’s biggest city. So why aren't we asking more of our MPs who are apparently so bored and unoccupied with their work that they're moonlighting everywhere. We put the screws to the working class by increasing productivity to the point where people are breaking down from stress and yet our elected officials have some of the cushiest jobs around.

In theory, MPs are supposed to be active in their ridings, helping to address the concerns of their constituents, while Parliament isn't sitting. The fact that the working class is getting hosed over doesn't mean we should place unreasonable demands on legislators, or have them sit in parliament just for the sake of it. I mean, what would they actually do that they aren't doing already?

Leofish posted:Actual Nazi James "Dmitri the Lover" Sears is going to be running for Mayor of Toronto and in Ottawa Centre this provincial election. He will lose, but he is an Actual Nazi and also a dangerous person in many other ways. That's actually a great tweet because it does a really good job of showing how a modern conservative can simultaneously hold the identities of Christian, libertarian, literal Nazi, Real Manly Man, PUA, online streamer, and "Anti-Marxist". And people say intersectionality is only a leftie thing.
