They will deny it was related but in Saskatoon there was an *immediate* increase in overdoses in public places when PHR closed its doors.

SASKATCHEWAN

Same story, three provinces, same cause: Each one signed on to the Alberta Recovery Model in 2024. Why do we accept eugenic public policy in 2026?

"a surge that coincided with the closure of Prairie Harm Reduction's supervised drug consumption site." DON'T do two years of research to figure out this puzzler OPEN a Drug Consumption Space NOW #skpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

They cant even provide treatment to those who want it and this evil "compassionate intervention" is going to take the scant resources away from those who actually want it. Nevermind the father knows best bullshit this is pedaling. The Sask Party wants addicts to die. This is how.

Hey Saskatchewan this post is predicting our future #skpoli ,

Not a surprise that Sask govt uses a flawed and conflict ridden study to follow through with their ideological policies. This govt has no clue how to help people, nor do they much care

As cons & selfish business owners celebrate this closure, things continue to worsen. People will use & overdose right in front of your business. PHR not only cared about drug users & making sure they don’t die, they also did amazing work to try to lower highest in nation HIV rates.That’s gone now

Governments use this fraudulent study, masquerading as research, to cut live saving services that should be publicly funded. They fabricate evidence and we arrange the funerals. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Can’t stress enough how backward this is.If you take away someone’s drugs, what happens?They go into withdrawal which will require an ambulance & ER trip costing money & services.Or they go in search of more, which could involve criminal activity or putting themselves in dangerous situations.

Private jet: funded ✅ Life-saving supervised consumption services: defunded ❌ What are we doing here folks? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Great episode

How does this help anyone? #skpoli

Sask gov’t: let’s shut down harm reduction services, demonize safe supply, fear monger the public regarding its use, and then force people into treatment against their will Meanwhile, scientific research : ⬇️

“harm reduction work is political. As the Government of Saskatchewan recently pushed through forced addictions treatment with neither adequate evidence nor medical support, their eagerness to defund Prairie Harm Reduction is hardly deniable” read more ⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/rloewenw...

Alberta Won’t Detain Itself Out of a Drug Crisis “Because the victims are largely invisible to those in power, the UCP has no problem systematically ripping apart the public health resources that are their first line of defence.” Feature and in “Forward Weekly” archive.forwardweekly.ca?issue=03

For people celebrating this closure, take note: PWUD don’t simply quit & go away because you’ve taken away their safe space.Nothing changes except now their only options are the stairwell of your building, the sidewalk in front of your business, the park, etc. www.ckom.com/2026/04/10/s...

Read this thread. Shame on all these governments

Surprising no one

Remember in 2021 when the Prairie Harm Reduction begged the government for a bit of funding to save lives? SK party refused based on ideology over evidence This led to the public stepping up because they see drug users as humans who deserve to live. globalnews.ca/news/7829895...

Out today: "The Canadian Society of Addiction Medicine raises concern regarding provincial closure and de-funding of supervised consumption sites" csam-smca.org/wp-content/u... #ableg #onpoli

This is heartbreaking.Prairie Harm Reduction and AIDS Saskatoon as it was called before has saved many lives and helped countless people with HIV/AIDS and many other people/families who need assistance in many areas. There are not enough services in #yxe to replace what PHR has been doing.

Do you see drug users as human beings? Do you care whether they live or die ? Do you actually want to help anyone? #bcpoli #canpoli #skpoli

“Inputs from Saskatchewan physicians highlight that involuntary addiction treatment is not supported by clinical evidence and may increase the risk of overdose following release from detention” #skpoli www.sma.sk.ca/joint-sma-cp...

This is what the Sask Govt is defunding - programs that help youth #skpoli

Finally a new episode and a great one www.spreaker.com/episode/we-c...

They claim the safe supply project did not work - well, it worked for the 5000 people they gave it to. and didn’t work for those still forced to take their chances with the street supply - imagine that! Just think of what could have been if they expanded the pilot to EVERYONE who needed it .

This is what the Sask government is trying to defund. Thank you to the supporters and donors who keep this running

The harder the crackdown, the stronger and riskier the drugs. Enforcement alone doesn’t solve the problem—it makes it worse. The iron law of prohibition.

All you have to do is look to Alberta to see the future here in Sask. Certain demographics will be incarcerated into forced treatment while others won’t, friends/donors of SP will make $, no one will actually be helped and people will continue to die of unregulated toxic street drugs. #skpoli

What is Carr talking about? We *know* they have never funded SCS. PHR & orgs like them have been saving lives on their own and with help from the public. What does that have to do with them pulling funding for all the other services they provide??? It’s just cruel, but i suspect that’s the point.

This is a cruel & harmful decision that put lives at risk. PHR does life saving work, not only safe consumption services. Cutting funding to organizations when you already can’t keep up with the need is naive, irresponsible, and choosing ideology over people www.ckom.com/2026/03/30/p...

Cc: Sask party, Riversdale BID and Saskatoon West Business Association

The province of Sask does not fund SCS, (although they would if they actually cared about people) so it has absolutely no jurisdiction or say in whether health Canada allows this. Sask party over stepping as always, and why is it always to harm people ? www.ctvnews.ca/saskatoon/ar...

Provincial governments shouldn’t have veto power over federal supervised consumption site exemptions. The federal government has jurisdiction over criminal law and needs to exercise it appropriately. #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/saskatoon/ar...

I’d love to know how this makes homes more affordable for the average person and doesn’t just make developers and landlords richer

people who use drugs don't deserve to die

Hey @trackaipac.com , what’s the latest on booker Gallego and slotkin?

Harmful disinformation. AKA lying.

PP goes on a podcast and tells 11 million listeners misinformation about drug use, continuing to push the conservative moral panic and turn fear into votes. These narratives have been debunked over and over

“Harm reduction and treatment are not competing approaches—they are interdependent. People cannot access recovery if they are no longer alive.” Thank you @hrna.bsky.social 💜 www.hrna-aiirm.ca/2026/03/27/h...

“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 emailed my Conservative MP for an explanation. She is not even trans and our leader of the opposition is using this issue to fan the flames of transphobia. It's immoral and factually incorrect. It's disgusting and implies a level of femininity needs to be met to be a woman. Disgusting behavior.

🚨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

The widely cited study on closing Red Deer’s overdose prevention site is inconclusive & overstated. It ignores key factors, conflicts of interest, and transparency. Relying on it risks lives, especially when broader evidence shows these sites save them. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

Giving up on harm reduction, including consumption sites, is like giving up on CPR in favour of blood pressure meds. We need harm reduction and treatment. You can only die once! My interview with CityTV #yyc. youtu.be/WWwEYFDsgmk?...

A reminder: People don’t have to be drug-free to deserve housing. They don’t have to be drug-free to access healthcare. They don’t have to be drug-free to be treated with kindness. Human rights aren’t something you “earn.”

It’s always important to look at who funds these studies, who benefits, and who will be harmed. These are clear unethical conflicts of interest, and multiple provinces are using this to justify harmful drug policies. Always good to have people like Euan on top of these things
