If you have time for only one thing today, make it: listening to today’s episode of #TheDecibel podcast 🎙️featuring award-winning journalist @AndreaWoo. This is a thoughtful discussion about one year of decriminalization in B.C., and about safer supply, with context, rationale, and criticism all clearly laid out. “The most important thing we could do on an issue that is as emotionally and politically charged as this, is to turn the volume down and have a really thoughtful discussion, because people agree on a lot more than people might think.” Right on Andrea!
