Let's face it. These people are feral. They have no shame.
Meth and fentanyl reduces humans to monkeys. They are no different than the street monkeys in Thailand. If they are beaten they still come back.

What can we do then? How do we redomesticate junkies?
(Have they found a solution for the alcoholic monkeys in Thailand?)
Institutionalize. It takes years to rewire a brain.
In Thailand the rowdy monkeys are sterilized or caged up for life or both.
Which potential government proposed that vs which one did parts of Canada elect? I guess that’s neither here nor there though.
Which Union loses 20,000 members if fentanyl and homelessness goes away? It's an industry.
The un-addicted monkeys did have their meds cut in half by Colleges of Physicians and Surgeon but it did nothing to stem the flow of fentanyl from China.

U.S. report finds fentanyl crossing from Canada ‘not an important part of this story’ — CTV News
Barely any of the fentanyl seized in the United States originates from Canada, according to a new report from U.S. think tank the Manhattan Institute.
They found that by weight, about 99 per cent of fentanyl pills, capsules or tablets and 97 per cent of powder, resin or tar gathered in large, land-boundary seizures between 2013 and 2024 were discovered in U.S.-Mexico border counties, and that large Canadian-border seizures were “relatively rare.”
While stark, that percentage is not out of line with existing estimates of illicit U.S. imports.
“New data on fentanyl seizures presented here largely reinforce previous understanding that most (illegally manufactured fentanyl) enters the U.S. from the south,” the report reads. Oh well.
“These data call into question tariffs and other policies and policy justifications that treat the threat from the northern border as comparably severe.” But this never was about fentanyl or other drugs so that’s really not relevant.
Earlier this year, U.S. President Donald Trump cited fentanyl as one of the justifications for launching a trade war against Canada, describing the southbound flow of drug smuggling as "tremendous," and facilitated by border policies that were responsible for many deaths.
As recently as late April, Trump described Canadian fentanyl imports in fairly even terms with those from Mexico and China.
“Fentanyl continues to pour into our Country from China, through Mexico and Canada, killing hundreds of thousands of our people, and it better stop, NOW!” he wrote in a post to Truth Social on April 24.

No. Some assholes in the Homeless and Addictions Industrial Complex decided to hand out free Naloxone so they can keep their Union jobs handing out Naloxone.
Hmmm…we’ve named the aluminum bat behind our front door “Narcan” but we’ve not had to administer it yet.
I’m still waiting for that conversation over the phone with the police someday. “Did you administer Narcan?”
“No, but I was sorely tempted…”
Speaking of metal defensive weapons, I've got a plastic-and-steel gun named "Glock."

REGINA — A new app developed in Regina is helping those dealing with addictions and mental health.
The inspiration for AlchemistOne came from the lived experiences of CEO Adam Geiger.
“I had struggled with a gambling addiction, specifically in the sports betting and casino betting environment,” he said.
Geiger said his addiction started when he was a teenager and lasted through his adulthood, which created challenges in his life.
“There were points where I was living out of my car. I destroyed relationships and lost millions of dollars.”
Geiger said his addiction event led him to spend a week at the psychiatric ward here in Regina.
“It really just got as bad as it could possibly get.”
Despite the challenges, Geiger never gave up on finding an approach to his recovery.
“I attended 12-step meetings, all sorts of different therapists, inpatient treatment, etc.,” he said.
Where Geiger started seeing real changes was finding mindfulness and meditation.
“ started to rewire the way that I saw myself and the world around me.”
This sporadic change in his life led Geiger to founding the company AlchemistOne back in 2024 to help others out.
“I [wanted] a program through a mobile app that can be a daily companion for other people who maybe otherwise wouldn't have found this on their own path of addiction recovery.”
So, Geiger and his team helped design the AlchemistOne app, which is built on three core pillars.
The first is the practice of mindfulness and meditation.
“We have audio content, podcasts, meditations, audio reflections from people all around the world, all who have suffered or lived through addictions or mental health issues of their own,” said Geiger.
“Those audio and video sessions give a space for mindful reflection through meditation and just an active practice."
The second pillar is physical activity.
“We offer in-app movement tracking and allow physical activity to become a little bit more part of one’s recovery and something that you can track.”
The last pillar is reflection, where users can write journals, insights and gratitude lists on their experiences.
The app had been in beta test for two months and was officially launched this week.
During the test, Geiger said 3,500 users downloaded the app.
He also mentioned seeing users return for consecutive days, engaging in audio content.
“Our goal is to be that 24 seven companion. When people can't pick up the phone and talk to a counsellor, or there is no access to a 12-step group,” said Chelsea Galloway, co-founder of AlchemistOne.
Along with individuals, AlchemistOne will be piloted by several therapists in Ontario and Alberta.
Currently, the app is available to download in primarily English-speaking countries on iOS and Android devices.
Geiger said they’re looking at releasing a global solution in the future.
