FULL SEATTLE DOC: Take a walk with Savanah Hernandez through Seattle’s $165 million downtown library.

HUMAN TRAGEDY: The fentanyl crisis continues to play out on multiple streets in Seattle, especially in places like #Chinatown-ID. This evening, a young man in his 20's showed me the early stages of "TRANQ FENTANYL" eating away at his skin. Pills laced with xylazine, an animal tranquilizer, are starting to show up more often on the streets. It's also leaving addicts walking around in a zombie like stupor. Another man nearby using fentanyl said, "I can see the silhouette of a demon" in his friend's flesh eating wound. Camp Site Seattle and others have documented the aftermath of "tranq" across the city. There is no denying the zombie drug is here. Nothing has changed in Councilmember Tammy Morales'(Councilmember Tammy J. Morales) district. Where is Morales? This is all happening on her watch. She recently voted against a common sense drug bill that would have allowed the City Attorney to prosecute open air drug use and possession of illegal drugs. Even this addict says a few days in jail could help in the journey to detox. But no one in the "harm reduction" lobby is out here trying to intervene. They're just giving away drug supplies like foil and meth pipes. Someone please tell me, what's the "harm reduction" plan for "tranq?" NARCAN doesn't even work. It's so upside down in this city right now. #Seattle Mayor Katie B.

Investigating Toronto's drug crisis When walking around the intersection of Queen and Bathurst, it's impossible not to notice the large number of people struggling with homelessness and drug addiction. Residents claim that the area attracts this demographic because of two harm reduction programs operating at this intersection. The Parkdale Queen West Community Health Centre distributes drug paraphernalia, such as pipes, needles, and syringes, free of charge. Directly across the street, West Neighbourhood House also operates a harm reduction program that distributes the same supplies for drug use. The primary goal of these programs is to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and reduce overdose deaths. Many businesses in the area have closed, which locals say is due, in part, to the drug activity. Teams of people walk around collecting needles and other items left behind by users. At nearby Alexandra Park, we saw large groups of people gathered, with some openly holding pipes. Just a short distance away, a summer camp for children was taking place. Critics of harm reduction argue that the normalization of drug use is only making the problem worse, with increasing numbers of people struggling with addiction on the streets of Toronto. We reached out to both harm reduction programs mentioned above, as well as local city councillor Ausma Malik, for their perspective on the situation. As of publication, none had responded.
