NP in Moh’kinsstis (Calgary) and traditional Treat 7 territory. Substance use, harm reduction, unlearning prohibition but still getting it wrong sometimes

[Janet Eremenko @JanetEremenko]

The UCP just can’t stop interfering with your access to health care - sometimes with dangerous consequences. Delivery of addiction care is the latest example, with doctors being villainized for wanting to prescribe certain medications… 🧵/1 #ableg #yyc

Alberta’s ban on safer supply undermines personal freedom and restricts evidence-based healthcare.

What is remission for substance use disorder? 🧵

There are a number a valid critiques about the DSM-5, using an addiction med approach, brain disease model etc., but for a minute let’s follow.

[Samantha Ginter @SGinter29]

All of this.

This isn't a game of politics .. this is about our community members. Our family and friends.

We need access to all forms of support.

@DanWilliamsALTA @DanWilliamsALTA Detox beds are great, but last I checked, they don’t save lives during an overdose. Calgarians know we need BOTH. 294 signatures say you're missing the point. Sign here: https://t.co/erl5czTdZI #ableg #yyccc #abpoli

Calgary must expand SCS' to save lives, reduce public drug use, and make our communities safer.

Closing these sites won’t fix the crisis.

Colleges, whose goal is to protect the public, must push back against political interference in health professions.

Silence is complicity.

Their lack of action on this overstep by politicians shows they don't see people who use drugs as the public.

[London Free Press @LFPress]

The federal Conservatives are calling for a London doctor's medical licence to be revoked and have accused her of lying about safer opioid supply. @RandyRatLFPress has more: https://t.co/Z0V4xZ3sUu #ldnont

[KokumSarah @creeation72]

We already knew this. Nice of them to drive it home through violence. At least we know where we stand @UAlberta , which incidentally is on Papaschase Cree territory, illegally surrendered.

We cannot lose sight of the core issue.
Students are calling for transparency on investments, divestment from firms involved in Palestinian occupations, recognition of the genocide in Gaza, and public condemnation of atrocities by Israel. #FreePalestine

[PattyWilson, she/her @Patty__Wilson]

📢 Over 780 mostly students & alumni at @UCalgary have signed a petition condemning police violence during a peaceful pro-Palestinian protest.

This strong response shows deep discontent with policies endangering student safety.

[PattyWilson, she/her @Patty__Wilson]

Despite Alberta's courts affirming university actions must respect charter rights, @UCalgary & @UAlberta police used tear gas and batons to dismantle peaceful protests.

The legality of such forceful measures is now under scrutiny.

Please consider signing and sharing with others.

Universities that enact violence on their students need to provide answers for their actions.
