Can’t hear the sirens or see bodies below when you’re high in the sky @jkenney @UCPCaucus @jasonluan88

We see this name whenever there is a chance to profit. Tanguay knows how it's done. Want to make money with psychedelic treatment for cops? "Help" the #UCP draft legislation to ensure you are one of the few physicians authorized and join the police commission. #FireTheUCP & Bob

@TheJamesDFraser @sheldonbailey @jasonluan88 Fits just right, in the circle of soulless ghouls

Thanks for coming out of the closet @sheldonbailey as a staffer for @jasonluan88

Thank you to New York Times for covering the release of #DecrimDoneRight. The eyes of international community are on BC & Canada as people continue to die from bad drug policy: https://t.co/NmxhXewBpd @s_malcolmson @JustinTrudeau @HIVlegal @CAPUDofficial @AIDQ_ #DrugDecrimCanada

@jkenney You are engaging in genocidal behaviour by shutting down safe consumption sites which save lives. A majority of safe consumption site clients in Lethbridge were First Nations from the Blood Tribe.

April 2021 was the worst April ever for fatal ODs in Alberta. Same with March 2021, February 2021 and January 2021. All by a longshot.

For the people stuck in this 7+ year old forgotten public health emergency, I wonder how all the "Best Summer Ever" fanfare feels.

“We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course, we did.”

[Overdose War Room @ODWarRoom]

End the 50 year old War on Drugs, the drugs won. So many soldiers lost, and for what?

[Overdose War Room @ODWarRoom]

“We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities.”

The exclusive prime rib hat usually worn for SCS panel members, but hey, it’s time for a Stampede🤠

30 days x 4 people lost daily = 120 preventable deaths at the hands of your inaction and ideology

[Jason Luan @jasonluan88]

We have also seen the pandemic impact Albertans like never before. We know more needs to be done. We are working hard around the clock and engaging with community stakeholders. Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks and months. 3/3

Alberta's new supervised consumption site rules will require health-card numbers, “good neighbour” agreements and criminal background checks that could exclude peers. This, as four people die every day, @alespassafiume reports:

All hands on deck

Nailed it

Businesses that #SupportSCS understand that #harmreductionsaveslives Thank you for the support and being part of the solution ✊ @_EachAndEvery @puneeta00

[Overdose War Room @ODWarRoom]

Short answer on the Naloxone Bailey... when your government started the culling of PWUD, community workers knew they had to get kits to people as quickly as possible. That’s the only hope to prevent death when there is no access to SCS.

[Sheldon Bailey 🇨🇦 @sheldonbailey]

This is simply false.

Ask yourself this. If Alberta is only focused on an abstinence model, how is it that we have the highest rate of naloxone distribution on record + the highest rate of evidence-based medication distribution? #abhealth #ableg 1/4

TWO DAYS
Condolences on the loss of 3 fallen soldiers in Grande Prairie

[Lynette Nooy @NooyLynette]

3 OD deaths in Grande Prairie in 2 days. The supply is lethal right now

[Bonnie Larson @BonnieraeLarson]

Boyle Street SCS shut as HCWs finally get a break from 187 covid pts in ICU. Now: EMS responds to 55 opioid-related calls in the Edmonton Zone from May 31–June 1. Naloxone was administered at 50 of those responses, and EMS transported 34 people to hospital. #AlbertaModelFail
