I don't know very much about what's going on in Ontario—I've been more focused on Ottawa—but from what I've learned today from Dr. de Villa, I would have to say regarding the clinics she's talking about, I would look at bringing my son there because it's witnessed dosage. Maybe that will help. I want to get him away from where he can sell. The only other option I have is to call the police and put him in jail, and that's not an option. I want to get him away from a situation where he is diverting his safe supply—plus all the other patients I see. These people are homeless and marginalized, but they deserve treatment, not selling their stuff, walking around in a daze and collapsing on the sidewalk 12 blocks from here. Any of you members could go down there, walk and see what I see every Friday.
Something has to be done, and I'm not sure which.... I don't want to politicize it, either, but what I'm hearing today from Dr. de Villa gives me a bit of hope for some change. Something has to be done. You're just producing more addicts. You're introducing hydromorphone into the high schools—that's a fact—and if everybody's okay with that, then let's not politicize it: Let's just pretend everything's A-okay.
