Some older people have supported their adult children. Some are really sick. Some have fallen victim to recent scams targetting older people. Don't judge.
How is this person's death a direct result of Mayor Guthrie's directive? Did the mayor give them the drugs? The safe consumption site is right down the street. The person could have chose to use there where they would have had access to help.
I've always thought of Guelph as a really bad game of The Sims. No proper housing, schools or other amenities to be sufficient of covering the population and expansion of Guelph.
I'm very sorry for the families suffering and loss of this woman. However, please don't shame the humane society. They are a charity that does lots of great work for animals. I'm sure the vet bill was probably less than full price.
Very nice gesture of these two girls. It was a different time when I was a child because I would often go around the neighbourhood trying to raise money for different environmental and animal issues. I would always notify my parents, send it in, etc. Nobody questioned your intentions at that time.
