Letters to the editor, November 3, 2021: Readers weigh in on embryo donation, renaming Toronto's Dundas Street, and Canada's opioid overdose crisis
Thanks to Michael Friscolanti for his outstanding exposé on drug-poisoning deaths in Canada . This article should outrage every North American. As Friscolanti rightly notes, we know what to do: “Decriminalization for personal use. Increased funding for proven harm-reduction measures. Safe supply—a legal, regulated alternative to the crime syndicate poison that’s killing so many.” Infuriatingly, the Canadian federal campaign failed to focus on putting these practical plans into action.
Your story on drug poisoning resonates with me. Our son took his life two weeks ago because he couldn’t get off drugs. He was 33, super intelligent, super musical, super athletic, having won the gold medal in triathlon at the 2000 Alberta Summer Games in Grande Prairie. He was funny, caring, loving and kind. But he also had ADHD, and cocaine and fentanyl took him. There is not enough being done to save our children. Thanks for the article.and to Michael Friscolanti for the article.
