ALSO note the bigger boxes containing 3.5 grams. This demonstration is also a protest of the City of Vancouver's decriminalization plans (https://t.co/94tTaFPM9A), which propose initial thresholds lower than that.

@VANDUpeople + @DULFBC's reasons why:

Happening now at Main and Cordova in Vancouver's DTES. The latest in a series of demonstrations aimed at drawing attention to the calls for a safer drug supply.

If the medical model can’t and won’t support safer supply, then why aren’t we hearing more prescribers speaking up for a regulated supply? #harmreduction

“Doctors and nurses are declining the vaccine” is exactly the message anti-vaxxers want you to hear.

Retweet if you’re a healthcare worker who’s already been vaccinated or is eagerly awaiting vaccination.

In the US there is also evidence that a spike in overdoses during the pandemic is being driven by changes in the illegal market. Western states seeing 98% increase in deaths corresponding with more fentanyl in circulation: https://t.co/KXj6P1xARK

Doug Ford lied.

He’s known for weeks that Rod Phillips is in St. Barts. His outrage is only because they got caught.

During the worst crisis in generations, Phillips spent his time & energy covering up his luxury travel plans & Ford helped him do it.

In the first 2 weeks of my public policy class, I have (once again) learned that 'doing nothing' is a policy choice.

Anyone involved in drug policy right now has to admit that state institutions have deliberately let thousands of people die.

It is a deliberate, willful act.

Andrea @AndreaWoo has consistently asked the right questions and written the most insightful media articles on the drug poisoning crisis. I know she shares our collective dismay and sadness at how glacial the response has been. @vancolour #harmreduction @MySafeProject
