🇨🇦 Kitchener's supervised injection site closes, overdose rates drop — media still mourns the loss

One year after Kitchener shuttered its drug consumption site, overdose rates are down, yet the usual suspects are hand-wringing over the closure. The report admits deaths decreased but pivots immediately to fear-mongering about new drug threats, as if state-sanctioned shooting galleries were ever the solution. Turns out enabling open drug use in downtown cores doesn't cure addiction — it normalizes decay and displaces the chaos onto surrounding neighbourhoods.

This is harm reduction ideology exposed: fewer overdoses after closing the site, yet advocates still demand more funding, more sites, more of the same failed compassion theatre. Kitchener residents get their streets back, data improves, but the bureaucratic class mourns the lost opportunity to manage decline instead of ending it. Common sense: 1. Expert class: 0.
