St. Albans has become a bulwark against the rising tide of crisis in a neighbourhood overrun with addiction and homelessness, even supplying naloxone to paramedics when official supplies run low

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.

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.

I genuinely can’t tell if you’re serious or not

100% serious why should I care about drug addicts and criminals killing themselves? Let them.
