[Harm Reduction International @HRInews]

On #WorldDrugDay & #SupportDontPunish Day, we call on @UNODC & @CND_tweets to:

❗️End the death penalty for drug offences.
❗️Uphold international law.

Read our statement: https://t.co/x51xDXandM

[PHS @PHScss]

“There is a high risk that reducing access to harm reduction and overdose support services will result in increased emergency department visits, health impacts, overdose and death” - confidential Ontario government briefing.

These brave doctors are following history. We have always been forced to use civil disobedience to save lives: supervised injection, narcan, needle, distribution, safe supply. Unjust laws are meant to be broken. Respect. https://t.co/SMyZM8AzH3

One supervised consumption site can prevent 83 new cases of HIV in a single year, saving more than $17 million in future healthcare costs - Canadian Public Health Association.

Harm reduction saves lives and money.

Experts say consumption site closure will raise rates of HIV/Hep C https://t.co/90OTVr0gVh via @sudburydotcom

Hey folks - there has been a big spike in ODs across Edmonton this week. Don’t use alone, stay visible, have naloxone, take turns, use a SCS, start small, check on your buddies. Stay safe! We 💜 you!

Hate homelessness, not the people experiencing it‼️ #HousingForAll

[Jim Gurnett @Jimgurnett]

Today #yegcc holds public hearing on several land use bylaws. @ECOHH_ will present to urge priority with surplus school sites for non-market #housing a desperate need to end catastrophe of #homelessness hurting thousands

[Sindi Addorisio @AddorisioSindi]

I feel this statement 100%
“Supervised consumption sites are "an area of drug policy that has been grossly politicized and that politicization has fueled the dissemination of misinformation. It's ignored science," he added. “

“Methadone clinics are predicated on the idea that the medication they dispense is a privilege, not a right. There is no other area of healthcare where patients are required to demonstrate, on an almost daily basis, that they deserve their medicine.”

“There are no provincial treatment standards, and no provincial requirements for reporting results.” Again. “There are no provincial treatment standards, and no provincial requirements for reporting results.” https://t.co/6xqi72e3fR

[Elaine Hyshka @ehyshka]

Alberta is still facing a serious drug poisoning death epidemic, there is no reason we should be closing what is a front-line intervention for saving lives in Red Deer. #ableg

[Elaine Hyshka @ehyshka]

“If you tell people in Red Deer, I’m closing your consumption site, but at best in six to eight months you can get into this recovery community, that person will tell you, ‘In six to eight months, I won’t be here.'”
