#BREAKING: BC Court of Appeal has denied BC’s application for leave to appeal & stay #Bill34 injunction, citing that it would not be in the interests of justice. Stay tuned for details.

Amazing #News: Doug Ford's Bill 124 which suppresses the wages of female-dominated professions at less than 1% yearly increase has been ruled unconstitutional by an Ontario court for the second time.

Despite knowing that Bill 124 is responsible for the mass exodus of nurses, Doug Ford went ahead to appeal the court’s decision using our taxes.

Doug lost again today. A big win for nurses and all those affected by Bill 124 🎉

???? Can’t tell if intentional misinformation or if these ‘Addiction Medicine experts’ actually believe this.

‘The three factors most closely linked to harmful substance use are availability, cost, and perception of risk’

[Laila Goodridge @LailaGoodridge]

After meeting with Minister of Mental Health and Addiction @YaaraSaks, leading addiction physicians from across the country are once again demanding an immediate end to harmful Liberal/NDP "safe supply" programs.

Immensely proud to be part of @HRNA_AIIRM today and for the tremendous work and guidance of @CANdrugpolicy and @pivotlegal

[Canadian Drug Policy Coalition @CANdrugpolicy]

NEW: Today the BC Supreme Court granted a temporary injunction to @HRNA_AIIRM, suspending BC’s Restricting Public Consumption of Illegal Substances Act on the grounds that it would cause irreparable harm to people at risk of injury and death amid a public health crisis.

[Pivot Legal Society @pivotlegal]

We are in Court tomorrow on behalf of @HRNA_AIIRM seeking to stop #Bill34 from coming into effect. Rather than use its powers to ensure supervised consumption services across BC, the Province is punishing PWUD. Read HRNA's statement here:

More research showing shorter or longer-term non-medication treatment (such as detox, residential programs, and recovery communities) provide *no protection* against fatal opioid poisoning amongst people with opioid use disorder. #ableg

Compressions lasted 30 min. They survived for several days afterwards and were able to say goodbye to their family 💜

CPR amazes me.

I’m fortunate that the only time I’ve ever really done CPR in community was as a baby nurse in a shelter, at 10 pm, for a resident. I had only seen agonal resps in a simulation lab prior to this and was initially confused (and very panicked)

[Sam Ghali, M.D. @EM_RESUS]

Hi, ER Doc here.

RT if you’ve ever done CPR on someone and they survived.

Trying to prove something.

It's #WorldSuicidePreventionDay!
As a suicidologist and someone who has experienced chronic suicidality since age 9, I want to offer some insights that mainstream prevention orgs don't often share. 🧵

This is the highest median concentration of fentanyl found in any week in Victoria. While @elenoresturko continues to challenge the provision of critical harm reductionand #drugchecking services, the supply remains extremely volatile and deadly.

Please consider donating to their small org, which provides some of the very few but much needed services available in CB

Comforted today to learn that my Mom’s @stfxuniversity Nursing Class of 1988 organized a donation to @AllycenterofCb in memory of my Dad, Perry Brown

[Meaghan Brown (she/her) @nursembrown]

@AllycenterofCb provides health, wellness, and harm reduction services for the CB community. Really happy to see that both safe supply & managed alcohol are also on their radar.
