I think these kinds of social/medical problems are too complex for a one size fits all explanation. Or solution, for that matter. -

Oh, wait, in the transverse, Carrie's mom will be a TERF.
Should have seen that sooner. -

The people getting raped and murdered are pretty much never the ones who made the policy that oppressed them in the first place.
The innocent are always most of the victims in any war. -

Maybe having Monday off in lieu of Truth and Reconciliation Day is just a BC thing?

If you think that they will stick to the bad people that you don't like, well, I wish you luck with that. -

Matron of the ninth circle (grumpyoldnurse@spinster.xyz)'s status on Wednesday, 20-Sep-2023 23:15:49 JST Matron of the ninth circle @polarisera To be fair, people shooting up on Hastings Street is not a new phenomenon. The DTES has, frankly, been a cesspool since the late 80s.
Also, why is a dude who has pictures of himself, as a grown adult, in blackface being believed as a champion of anti racism?
The last residential school closed in 1996. In nursing school, we talked about the medical experimentation that was done on the kids and how it has left a lot of indigenous people mistrust full of health care institutions. The stated aim of the system was "kill the Indian, save the man". I'll leave that to the individual to decide if it counts as cultural genocide.
Regarding euthanasia, I'm deeply concerned about the application of the policy, and how it seems to be being offered as a social solution rather than just a medical one. I still remember the bad old days, though, of passive euthanasia, and watching people die of dehydration rather than a deliberate overdose. (fun fact, my husband got offered euthanasia for his arthritis. We switched providers)
The article was right to bring these things to light, but there's some nuance going on behind the scenes.
