Open Letter: Defunding of all Supervised Consumption Sites in Ontario “Effective law and policy must be grounded in evidence, and shifting funding from SCS elsewhere is not supported by evidence or the public at large.” #onpoli #cdnpoli drugpolicy.ca/open-letter-...

An important read! “Johnson says their donor-driven model provides stability, enabling the site to focus on “doing what we know is right and needed,” rather than chasing shifting government priorities.” #onpoli #cdnpoli #harmreduction www.canadianaffairs.news/2026/03/31/h...

Ontario is facing a #ToxicDrugCrisis — and losing supervised consumption services will only make it worse. Your voice matters more than ever. Urge Premier @fordnation to reverse this decision: RNAO.ca/policy/actio...

Manitoba’s Bill 48 empowers police to target individuals of perceived drug intoxication and detain them for 3 days in solitary confinement. How does the expansion of involuntary detention and forced detox, made possible through Bill 48, deepen colonial harm? yellowheadinstitute.org/2026/care-no...

Thank you for your voice @canadanurses.bsky.social from a mom who lost a son to toxic drugs. This means a lot to me and other families. 💜

“The decisions made by the governments of Alberta and Ontario will put tens of thousands of lives at risk for fatal overdose, increasing health system expenditures and wait-time pressures for an already strained system.” @canadanurses.bsky.social 👏👏 #abpoli #onpoli www.cna-aiic.ca/en/blogs/cn-...

I found it, the most deranged way a grocery store has ever displayed pasta sauce

Any time a politician claims to be tough on crime, they should be asked how much money they think should go to preventing crime vs cleaning up after the fact. Very few politicians are actually tough on crime. They're just big on police. Huge difference.

There's always more than enough funding for police, and never enough funding for the things that could actually prevent crime.

The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

Supervised consumption services are evidence based, compassionate, and essential. Removing them will cost lives — but together we can push for change. Join us in urging Premier Ford to reverse the decision to close supervised consumption services: RNAO.ca/policy/actio... #HarmReduction

🚨URGENT: Evidence shows supervised consumption sites prevent deaths, reduce ER visits, and connect people with care. Closing them is dangerous. Tell Premier Ford to reverse this decision: RNAO.ca/policy/actio... #HarmReduction

ICE must not be allowed in Toronto. They’ve kidnapped Canadians. They’re currently holding a 7 year old autistic Canadian girl in one of the camps. Boycott all World Cup games happening in the US, and demand ICE stay out of Canada.

Every single day in 2025, five Ontarians were killed by the toxic unregulated drug supply. Nurses know this decision will cost lives. This decision is not rooted in evidence. These are necropolitical decisions that determine who is allowed to live and who is left to die.

This crisis as far as fatalities go is so often shown as a street thing in media… people in alleys and doorways. It really isn’t. It’s an at home crisis. It’s a “where people live” crisis.

Today, the Speaker ruled Armstrong's bill out of order and struck it from the order paper He also put her at the bottom of the list for private members' business #bcpoli

At #CND69, govs rejected US attempts to strip the proceedings from addressing the #2030Agenda. The (unprecedented) early vote signals support for global drug policy debates to be rooted in rights and development. More on the #CNDBlog: https://cndblog.org/2026/03/plenary-monday-morning-session/

Fraser Health "says those who need overdose prevention services can use the Abbotsford Mobile Overdose Prevention Site at 1670 Riverside Road, from 12pm - 6pm, 7 days a week." 76 residents of Abbotsford died from drug policy last year. this is abandoning people to die www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The Alberta government has removed Cause of Death statistics for the entire year 2024 from its dashboard. Fortunately, I reported on this in January, before the data were removed: drugdatadecoded.ca/up-to-89-per... The government hadn't yet reported 2025. The latest year available is now 2023. 1/

You can blame Alberta for spreading the myths BC has now internalized to allow so many to die, but this is foremost a crisis of leadership. (And, those myths were conceived in BC, then funded, incubated and nurtured in AB, and exported back to BC.)

Vancouver your MAYOR spread a fake rumour into Chinese-language media that a city councillor recently sold drugs on a street corner. You are led by someone ready to divide the community over libellous fabrications as MAYOR. Don’t let this have a single day of refuge outside the news cycle.

“there is no evidence of acute medical conditions resulting from passive exposure to fentanyl or methamphetamine (such as from touching contaminated surfaces or inhaling second-hand smoke)”

All health care workers deserve to be fairly compensated But we need to be clear: this 22% increase will not likely increase access for Albertans by expanding services, it is for increased compensation Where is the plan to increase access? #abpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

“It definitely speaks to policy being driven by electioneering, vote-mongering, that kind of thing, as opposed to following the evidence,” he said. “It also speaks to this kind of general unwillingness to defend their own policies when they’re perhaps viewed as controversial by some people.”

while the BCNDP was caving to the diversion moral panic and severely limiting its safe supply program, the public safety ministry was acknowledging in budget preparation documents that hydromorphone only accounted for 0.3% of VPD drug seizures by weight

This is an outrageous scandal that cont to have profound consequences. Five people die every day A forever emergency A mass murder based on public policy built of lies get angrier

Harm reduction services, including syringe service and fentanyl testing programs, are proven to save lives. As a federal court recognized, people with substance use disorder have a right to these services under disability law.

"According to reports from the community, the coalition and a site visit by The Discourse, the sites appear to be surrounded by pooling water and there is evidence that other sections were at one time impacted by rainfall." words to the city from @nurseranger.bsky.social :

I told you this would get unthinkably worse, that the unregulated drug supply would only get more volatile & dangerous, that this nightmare would never end until government makes the necessary market intervention & replaces the entire drug supply with regulated substances accessible throughout B.C.
