"It serves a political purpose to create the problem of open air drug use across Ontario, especially in an urban centre like Toronto. Conservatives can claim that "crime is everywhere!" and weaponize the public's fear — no matter that they created the problem. No matter that thousands will die."

@PapyrusBrigade I just hate this.

I wonder if any health advocacy groups could sue the province with a similar precedent to the #CycleTO case, that the province cannot make unilateral policy changes that it knows will kill people.

@jrhawley Interesting point. They already closed the ones that were near schools and daycares. I haven't seen a reason given for why they're closing the remaining ones.
