In a few months time I’ll be able to copy and paste this verbatim but it will be about SASK

Solidarity ✊

People of Sask, you need to read this . our govt will use the “bc tried it and it didn’t work” narrative to ignore evidence based policies and push their harmful forced treatment. don’t let them get away with it

B.C. cancelled its drug decriminalization pilot, saying it hadn’t “delivered the results” they wanted. Its results: fewer drug users arrested and traumatized by cops. @desmondcole.bsky.social explains that when governments cave to moral panic, we lose good policies. breachmedia.ca/decriminaliz...

There is simply no moral argument for allowing war criminals to compete at the Olympics.

This is today! Fight against fear mongering misinformation, NIMBYISM and speak up for our most vulnerable community members!

This episode is out now - important listen about how a small, not bold enough safe supply program is at risk due to misinformation and fear mongering. Lives are on the line and these harm reduction rollbacks are beginning to happen across the country podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/c...

The Thames River could also kill one quarter of London’s population but nobody says that because it would be stupid to say

Also worth noting that the cops probably have no idea what concentration this batch contains, just that it looks like fentanyl. So their claim is misleading and meaningless. Maybe there was a sticker on the ice cream bucket that said "FENTANYL. WARNING: ENOUGH TO KILL 125,000 OPIOID-NAIVE PEOPLE."

Same goes for Sask, we have drug alerts seemingly weekly and no alternatives offered other than forced treatment. Meanwhile people that actually want treatment fight for their lives while waiting for a spot

“Police say”

It has been two years since Hind Rajab was killed. 5 years old. Begging for help. Trapped in a car, surrounded by death, while the world watched. Her voice still echoes in a global call for peace and accountability for Palestinian children killed in Gaza.

I regret B.C.’s decision to end its decriminalization pilot and am disappointed the province has not released an independent evaluation. When governments change course on life-and-death issues, Canadians deserve to see the evidence. See more 👇

Depiction of BC's actual decrim strategy:

3/3);The decrim pilot didn’t fail, all levels of government failed it.

1. Start a pilot 2. Do it half assed 3. Make the legal threshold very low, not enough to allow people to legally keep themselves from getting sick. 4. Fall for fear mongering from conservatives. 5. “It’s not working” 6. Give police more money 7. People keep dying

All the evidence always shows this

Happy Holidays! Support Harm reduction and demand safe supply in your community

We think we've been good docs this year. Check out our Christmas Wishlist 👇

This is the greatest holiday album ever recorded and you’ll never convince me otherwise @barenakedladies.com

This is a good time to remind people that it took @godfrey.bsky.social 2 hours to point out all the misinformation and inaccuracies in this one hour “documentary” pressprogress.ca/right-wing-g...

“There’s a lot of concern right now that this is just another form of incarceration and will not effectively address the issues we’re seeing in our community,” www.cjme.com/2025/12/08/a...

This thread !! 🎯 well said. From now till March I would love to see a non stop flood of people speaking out against harmful Bill 48. Fill the govt inboxes

If they actually did their research, follow the evidence, they would know that forced treatment seldom works, and then people are put back into society with no supports, with the same traumas, & now lower tolerance/vulnerability to overdose. globalnews.ca/news/1156442...

So what this is saying is that the Sask govt could easily afford to add more treatment spots if they wanted. But they are instead saving these spaces for involuntary treatment. These contracts will go to for profit agencies who don’t have the patients best interest in mind

Knew it was coming but still disappointing. I fear for the people who will be unfairly targeted and harmed by this legislation. Involuntary treatment is a violation of human rights and most likely unconstitutional. Par for the course for this govt. globalnews.ca/news/1156442...

Government inaction on overdose crisis = rights violation: position statement from BC Human Rights Commissioner. The crisis "won’t be solved without an approach that focuses on safer supply and harm reduction,” Commissioner Kasari Govender tells Filter. @maddidellplain.bsky.social reports:

Something like this is coming to Sask too, you watch

Forced abstinence it’s not the solution and will result in more deaths. Putting somebody through forced detox who is not seeking treatment or abstinence is akin to torture. #MBpoli #Drugsky www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Residents of Sask affected by wildfires will be paying thousands in PST to rebuild. Could easily waive it but are choosing not to. Sask party govt profiting off tragedy. Don’t ever fall for the propaganda that progressive govt’s tax too much, no one takes your money quite like conservatives do

Drugs are ever more toxic while people providing safe drugs and save lives are criminalized. Politicians are cowards, bowing to moral panic while walking over the corpses of people who use drugs. #bcpoli #cdnpoli #safesupply #FreeDULF #DrugSky dulf.ca/dulf-aid-2/

Eye on the ball folks — DULF Charter challenge begins in four days. Legal fund still needs your help: www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donati...

DULF is a humanist organization that has saved lives. They did what the government has failed to do & regulated the drugs people were already using. That same government is charging them with crimes for not sitting idly by & watching more people die preventable deaths from an unregulated drug supply

Hey Sask Govt: I highly recommend you read the BC Human Rights Commission’s report on the toxic drug crisis and pay particular attention to the section on involuntary treatment ⬇️

BC Human Rights Commission releases a report on a human rights-based approach to the toxic drug crisis

This photo was taken during the press conference for the opening of the consumption site at the RA Hospital in #yeg. The photographer caught me in a private moment reflecting how such a site could saved Danny. The closure of the SCS means more people suffer and more families mourn. #ABpoli

It’s Addictions awareness week and Prairie Harm Reduction in #yxe is sharing some real information about safe consumption sites. Don’t believe fear mongering from conservatives and the now conservative adjacent Liberals

Where are all the 2020 freedom folks?? Where’s the freedom convoy? They should be out in the streets as we speak . Why are they all of sudden so silent when real freedoms and rights are being violated?

Alberta went after workers first, and now they’re going after children and anyone who identifies as female. They’re shoving down law after law using the notwithstanding clause and stripping away rights. This is anti-democratic. It’s authoritarianism, pure and simple. UCP ‘freedumb' for ya.

I’d say a long time ago, maybe when Harper tried to stop insite from opening in Vancouver, although it goes farther back than that

Imagine using the notwithstanding withstanding clause to remove the rights and powers of all Conservatives to ensure a better world. They'd lose their fucking minds. They'd also never admit that they are okay doing it to others.

Alberta and Sask trying to one-up each other on how many of their citizens they can harm

Every Canadian, no matter where you live, should be outraged over Alberta's UCP government using the Notwithstanding clause to trample the rights of yet another group of citizens, especially after losing their court challenge to restrict 2SLGBTQ's human rights. 1/3

FFS! Canada Post is NOT a business. It is a public service, like parks and fire departments. Decide what services it should provide and fund it properly. Are we expecting police departments or highway maintenance to turn a profit?

Look. It’s not surprising why “young people” are “saying no” to marriage and childbearing/rearing. THEY CAN’T FUCKING AFFORD TO LIVE. I don’t know why this is a mystery. When I was in my 20s I rented a whole ass 4br house for $550/month all in. Groceries and bills were $200/month.

In 2019, the federal government assembled 13 experts to create guidance on safer supply. In 2023, the committee provided two final reports. These were promptly buried, and my attempt to get them yielded giant blocks of black ink. Who silenced the recommendations? drugdatadecoded.ca/who-killed-t...

This is disgraceful of cowardly governments who caved to fear mongering conservatives and ignored the experts who recommended safe supply be scaled up. How many people have died since? Shame
