CTQ is thrilled to welcome the indominatable Karen Ward - drug policy, overdose response and poverty reduction consultant for the City of Vancouver - to the podcast. The consultant, advocate, poet and artist is 100% badass in this wide-ranging conversation on COVID-19, drug policy, toxic drugs and increasing access to safe drug supply, NIMBYism, "organized fascists," and "fighting for space" - space for art, space to live, space to thrive - in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Try to keep up. "It's not the drugs, it's the drug policy." ~ Karen Ward.
