Just wow. Giving credit where credit is due. <3
From the Dandelion Initiative:
“This budget today was as we expected, devastating. We will have a budget summary for folx soon.
Don’t be fooled by this government and their failing attempts at smoke and mirrors policies, focusing on making alcohol more accessible with less regulations and more advertising means what? To who? Cutting the majority of funding for Indigenous supports, Rape crisis centres, overdose prevention, education and mental health support, putting it back into the pockets of the white, the wealthy and the top 15%.
Did you know that alcohol is used in over 50% of drug facilitated sexual assault? Did you know that only 28% of Canadians know what consent is? Did you know that a space is held legally liable if someone dies or gets seriously harmed on their property? And that 62% of sexual violence offences occur on private property like bars, restaurants, live music venues, etc.
Get our Safer Bars & Spaces training to help prepare your staff and your space for earlier and later drinking hours and an increase in pre drinking in patrons.
This is no way to say that drinking responsibly and in a fun, safer setting isn’t possible! And this certainly is not about a few beers in a park with friends. This is about prioritizing profit over people and putting those people directly in harms way, while advertising it as a way to remain open for business.
Be better than our government. Which isn’t that hard.
