Quebec government: denies existence of systemic racism, then appoints White Minister to tackle racism.

Don't worry though, he said the colour of skin shouldn't have an impact on his credibility.

Well done Quebec.
Just killing it all around.

I've had at least half a dozen emails from CPSBC and other agencies on this public health concern--which is great. Have still never received anything from @cpsbc_ca @DoctorsOfBC re: that other ongoing public health emergency that's still killing 3-4 British Columbians per day.

- Self-medication
- A response to policy failure
- An act of resistance
- An act of mutual aid
- The practice of street medicine
- RESILIENCE

Supervised alcohol-consumption sites (better known as bars) are everywhere. So why are we so squeamish and judgmental about other types of supervised drug-consumption sites? by @picardonhealth https://t.co/m6mb04r6cx via @GlobeDebate #alcohol #opioids #harmreduction

Every doctor is tweeting that mass shootings are not a mental health issue, they are a gun access issue.
Listen to the experts.
