“Government will swear up and down they’ve got more beds, a new phone line, whatever. They tell us all the things they’re doing. And I tell them that whatever it is that they’re doing, it’s not stopping the deaths.” www.timescolonist.com/islander/an-...

the B.C. Coroners Service posted two reports on April 24 and I guess nobody noticed? I did just now. it should've been A HUGE SCANDAL #bcpoli Deaths of Individuals Experiencing Homelessness in British Columbia (2016-2024) www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/b...

thetyee.ca/News/2026/05... More than once a day someone has a non-fatal overdose at B.C.'s busiest hospital. Health authorities say they can't or won't produce comprehensive numbers, but it is clear they could. How can you plug a leaky boat when you aren't allowed to know where the holes are?

I deeply appreciate @michellegamage.bsky.social's work on the toxic drug poisoning crisis It's not an "addiction crisis" The use of substances has always been with us—and always will be Let's prevent the social murder by regulating the supply thetyee.ca/News/2026/04... #bcpoli

thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026... Ten years that they count. More that they don’t. #bcpoli

We are creating space in the Naming a Crisis exhibit for healthcare workers to participate by sharing messages about their experiences in the crisis.

The Victoria Arts Council will be putting on a fantastic show full of both art and events at the Bay Centre from April 7 to 26. namingacrisis.ca/april-exhibit/ #bcpoli #harmreduction

BREAKING Alberta government preparing to announce closures of supervised consumption sites in Calgary and Lethbridge, nine days after it published a fraudulent study on site client outcomes. drugdatadecoded.ca/breaking-alb...

We'll be there. You should too. #bcpoli

VPD (and other police forces), of course, drove further panic over safe supply, making comments like this 👇 when they knew well the negligible role of safe supply in their own seizures bsky.app/profile/kwar...

10 years in and “there is no direction to collect that data.”

thetyee.ca/News/2026/02... "People who used substances 'would go and utilize the supervised consumption site and my assessment was able to be a lot more thorough, a lot more grounded in reality.'"

The BCgov’s pilot of drug decriminalization ended last month and added restrictions to the safer supply program. Even as toxic drug poisonings continue, govt has backed away from harm reduction in favour of abstinence models & forced treatment beds—approaches that are not evidence-based 6/ #bcpoli

filtermag.org/bc-knew-safe... “Rather than publicize the evidence early in 2025 to correct loud claims of safe supply diversion flooding communities, the BC government opted to sit on the information and retreat from safe supply as a policy.” #bcpoli #harmreduction #medsky

thetyee.ca/News/2026/02... The government is obscuring the nature of the problem, therefore robbing you of a good understanding of the value of proposed solutions. “The public has the right to understand these things fulsomely so that we can have informed conversations about policy responses.”

We are honoured to help tell the story of the @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social's political interference in the lives of our patients, in the face of the scientific evidence and the principles of patient-centred care. The science is clear: safe supply saves lives. And there is no evidence of harm. #bcpoli

Housing, food, safety, and connection aren’t luxuries. They are addiction treatment, mental health care, and suicide prevention at the most fundamental level. Ignore that, and we ignore what truly saves lives.

Your government as stigma-purveyor-in-chief. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #bcpoli

While it’s certainly a niche target audience, our podcast #RecoveryReform is now in the top 5 most popular harm reduction podcasts! That’s pretty cool. Looking forward to building more in 2026! recoveryreformpodcast.podbean.com

Crime rates remained stable — and sometimes dropped — near Toronto supervised consumption sites, study finds

42 people died from unregulated drugs while in a medical facility between January 1 2023 and August 31 2025 in British Columbia Here is the list. Remember when people were complaining about drug users in hospitals ?

drugpolicy.ca/our-work/add... “Addiction treatment: what it is, where it currently fails, and how it could meet the needs of people and communities.”

The "nobodies" doing "nothing" are the ELITES and most of the politicians representing you. PEOPLE in their communities are in motion, everywhere. You just have to pay attention and importantly you have to JOIN THEM.
