Crime stats trending upwards in Toronto Cabbagetown Neighbourhood, residents blame supervised injection site – August 1, 2019,
When the government makes a decision as big as creating a local supervised injection site in your neighborhood and then according to Toronto police Break-and-enters have increased by 75% over 2018, do the politicians that signed off on this have to pay anything in compensation? Because remember break and enters don’t only lower property values the raise home insurance rates, they can also have an opposite effect on Renters bringing rental prices down as this becomes the neighborhood to avoid.
No, Politicians don’t get any of the blame for their badly conceived plans. Now for the record, this isn’t a municipal or Provincially funded injection site Street Health Community Nursing located at 338 Dundas Street East in Toronto, Ontario was made possible by a Federal Exemption. It’s important to remember that at one point both Kathleen Wynne and Justin Trudeau had free reign over Ontario and during this period of Liberal dominance, they put a bunch of government pilot projects into operation. Street Health was one of them, I know in Vancouver they have entire sections which are basically no-go-zones because they’re injection sites.
Street Health runs a supervised injection site made possible by a federal exemption, but it is not a city-sanctioned facility. The site was originally supposed to be provincially-funded, but organizers had to reconfigure its operating model after Ontario pulled funding in March.
Personally, I think an injection site is cruel and unfathomable in a major city, if you believe these people need help why would you reward them? Why not bombard them with opportunities to change their life. If you’ve come to the realization that they’re not willing to change or dump their drug habit, instead of inviting them to the city, they should be barred from it. Living in a major city is a privilege, not a right, you live in a major city by contributing to it. One major blackout and we’re all screwed, we can all die in a manner of weeks.
There are insane asylums, personally, I’d qualify a drug abuser as a person that has some serious mental health issues. Recreational drug use is one thing, but if using drugs is causes you to break into peoples homes? You should be considered legally insane. There are a lot of volunteers in Toronto, a lot of hard-working people giving up their time and energy to help the poor and mentally ill, I don’t understand why any city would create an injection site in a community where there are families and children present? Why would you but the needs of people with mental issues ahead of everyone elses safety?
Often times these drug abusers need a shock to their system to know that what they’re doing is not acceptable in our society. It’s not even like you need to talk down to these people, they do need compassion, but if someone is obese they can die, you don’t reward them McDonalds and Pizza? You d what you can to get them to exercise and eat better. I find that these injection sites are cruel and if they need to exist they should exist in rural areas far away from major cities to be of any harm to the public. As an example Street Health Community Nursing could have their injection site in Northern Ontario in a cabin in the woods. The drug abusers can shoot up as much as they want there and Street Health can take full responsibility for managing them. People can also donate as much drugs as they want to help these drug abusers drug habits.
If these drug abusers don’t want any help, and people want to donate them drugs, keep them away from children and taxpayers who contribute to the Province. People with serious mental health problems shouldn’t be in the city. Read the story below and think about how crazy that sounds? Who would come up with such a ridiculous idea?
The NDP, and Liberals that’s who!
