Toronto adds “drug toxicity crisis acknowledgement” to municipal documents
Toronto’s latest civic ritual: drug toxicity crisis acknowledgements
The City of Toronto has added a new “Drug Toxicity Crisis Acknowledgement” to an official municipal strategy document, placing it alongside the city’s land acknowledgement and African ancestral acknowledgement.
The acknowledgement appears in a 45-page report released by Toronto Public Health and endorsed by Mayor Olivia Chow and the Board of Health.
Under a section titled “Acknowledgements,” the document first recognizes Indigenous treaty lands and the “African Ancestral Acknowledgement” before introducing the new drug toxicity statement.

The useless bureaucrats at Toronto City Hall have started to include a “drug toxicity crisis acknowledgement” in some of their documents. The language, of course, is ideologically slanted towards radical harm reductionism (e.g. suggesting that drug stigmatization is bad).
