Keeping people in addiction and calling it compassion is not the answer.

There's this sort of belief amongst sort of the world and the left that conservatives just want to end all programming and leave people defended for themselves. And that's not what you're describing at all. You're just describing a shift from sort of safe injection sites that make it easier for people to use to giving people actual hope for long-term recovery. Yeah, there's no such thing as a safe injection site. Like, there's nothing safe about it. What do you say to people who believe that without those safe injection sites, themselves or their loved ones would die of an overdose? Look, I believe that people should get into recovery and we should provide every avenue into recovery. Now, we're not saying that there isn't sort of harm reduction things that sort of can wrap around. If you really want to get into the nitty-gritty about there's methadone. There's all kinds of things that sort of keep people on a path. But that path needs to lead towards recovery. And right now, none of it is happening. I know. From what I'm understanding, there's actually, at least in the city of Toronto, there's like a two-week requirement for people to stay sober before they can go to rehab, but then they can only go to detox for like a week. And so there's no continuity in even stable housing that would give someone a chance. Because if you can't even stay in rehab long enough to stay sober enough to get into or sorry, go to detox and stay in detox long enough to stay sober to get into rehab, I mean, there's really no hope. Yeah. And sort of like, so get the number of detox beds up. Get the number of recovery beds up. Like you end up dying in a waiting list to actually get recovery and or to be part of recovery in this country. It's like, it is a sad state of affairs where we've sort of moved the conversation to like almost we give up. We're giving up on addicts. And I think the compassionate view has to be one that gives people like another shot at life. Yes, agreed. And for me, I mean, the catalyst for me to get sober was hitting bottom. And I feel like if I never hit bottom and there was always this government funded cushion that kept me comfortably addicted to drugs, I would never have stopped. It was really the fact that I was hitting bottom, that I was getting to a place of almost dying of near fatal overdoses. Well, extol the virtues of recovery. Like look at your story. And there's like, there's millions of stories like yours. I know. Of people who've come out on the other side. On the other side.
