My client Lana Greene is fundraising to support her lawsuit against the ERC for the tragic death of her son TJ.

Her efforts so far have lead to a powerful new fatality report from Justice Shoyele on the inadequacy of inmate care at ERC.

Donate if you can https://t.co/KRksY7Dx9S

1. A cruel and tragic death.

Once again, the Alberta Government’s lies about the standard of health care in its jails are exposed. This is what they testified and argued at the FI:

Officials who operate the facility & its mental health ...

We represent Lana Greene in her efforts to bring about systemic change at the Edmonton Remand Centre so that what happened to her son TJ never happens to another person.

[Tom Engel @TomEngel18]

Please listen to Lana Greene describe the terrible health care and other living conditions in the Edmonton Remand Centre that led to the death of her son. This has been going on for decades and will not stop until the government is forced to do so.

The Court of King's Bench has awarded the @CityofEdmonton over $11,000 in costs against the @coalition4jhr for its legal action against the City's encampment eviction policy. The Coalition will have more to say soon, but for now, a few thoughts from me 🧵

“And I think that it is a tactic that they [@edmontonpolice] use to send that message. To impede, to insult, discredit and to intimidate the media.”

City of Edmonton sued over homeless encampment evictions https://t.co/mIKKQiDlqr

[chris wiebe 🌲🌲🌲 (he/him) @ChrisWiebe780]

The City

moves encampments from City land despite inadequate shelter beds

often gives 1hr notice & disposes of anything people can’t pack

takes peoples’ propane tanks, forcing people to use open fires or suffer frostbite

moves encampments during extreme cold.

It has to stop.

LaFrance said Doduk got out of the car & immediately put the other person on the ground & arrested them. Then, LaFrance alleged as he was trying to explain he hadn't actually seen what happened, Doduk started hitting him."

An Edmonton police officer has been charged with using excessive force in an arrest. Const. Alexander Doduk is also ID'd in a civil filing as the officer who shot Steven Nguyen, a man with mental health issues killed holding a cell phone 2 years later. https://t.co/PD2zQdVl8S
