Since the congregation took naloxone training in March, there’s been seven outside St. Albans. But that number is quite modest. At the drop-in centre beneath the church, where some of Ottawa’s most afflicted seek daytime refuge once the overnight shelters close, they’re doing at least one [naloxone application] a day.

Ah yes and everyone who has stolen food is just evil and should be jailed because they didn't want to starve? Material conditions can substantial alter people's decision making. If youre stuck in the cycle of poverty knowing very well you aren't making it out, why not do hard drugs? You're never making it anywhere anyway.

Would you have said it was every individual Chinese person fault that they had an opium epidemic and not the British and Chinese administration for allowing the production and trade of opium to be so prevalent? Yes people have agency but if you trap someone in a box and put some heroin in it they'll do it eventually
