You might wanna read up on the history of policing in Canada. Our police force is systematically corrupt and deeply racist. Our mounties were created from the men who did the red river massacre of indigenous peoples and to this day, cops across the country are giving "starlight tours" and murdering civilians with impunity.

Here is a good place to start educating yourself, since our news does a terrible job of holding cops to account in our country. https://www.canadaland.com/shows/commons-the-police/

I won't tell you not to do this because it's a genuinely great idea and we need a diversity of tactics.

But I'll add that we should also start doing what we can to get Ford out of power because he has absolute power and has demonstrated he doesn't give a fuck about the environment or what people have to say. If you have a conservative MPP, start spreading the word about why he needs to go. Start uplifting opposition. Do not be caught with your pants down when Ford calls another snap election at a self-serving time. Overwhelmed and need ideas? Print out a poster and stick if to a street corner, get to know your friends and neighbours and TALK to them.

Before BC decriminalized and pushed for more safe supply, there was a supply issue for precursor hemicals used in fentanyl and other street drugs from China. The supply got resolved and drug use/availability went up as BC started its new policies, resulting in worse drug use. The timing was horrible and everybody assumed correlation = causation.

You'll notice that most of the people pushing on this topic are conservatives who not only oppose safe supply, but also oppose safe injection which is categorically and undisputably effective, backed by mountainas of medical evidence from around the world.

Safe injection sites save lives.

It is because there are hardware security features that most other Android phones do not support and Graphene OS is going for maximum security and privacy. Besides, they're coming out with their own hardware by partnering with Motorola shortly.
