NEW Two federal expert reviews provided unanimous support in 2023 for rapidly scaling up safe supply, including compassion clubs. Instead of informing the public, the government silenced the reports, and DULF got closed & arrested. Who killed the expert reviews? drugdatadecoded.ca/who-killed-t...

“Workers who reported experiencing more of this stigma by association had poorer workplace wellbeing, greater levels of burnout and stronger intentions to leave.” This isn't just a workforce issue, reports Brooke Nolan, but a public health threat:

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...

"[A]mong the committee's recommendations was explicit support for non-medicalized models of safer supply distribution – in other words, compassion clubs." "It remains unknown who made the call to silence the expert panel reports." #Alberta #Canada #Policing #Drugs #Healthcare

Health Canada convened an independent expert advisory group in 2020 to provide guidance on safer supply. Health Canada heavily redacted its final report, but unredacted version obtained by CBC shows the expert group said drug crisis is driven by prohibition and recommended expansion of safer supply

Holy shit reverse MeToo is wild

Immigration is too low AND ALSO Canada id one of the countries most responsible for taking in climate refugees. So our choice is to open our doors or slam them on the people whose houses we burned down.

Makes you wonder how many antibiotics are attenuated versions of much stronger chemicals, and whether a trove of new active molecules is waiting to be discovered a step or two upstream of the evolved versions we already know.

I actually find this kind of humanizing. Recall her anyway.

Like letting cops and private treatment dictate drug policy

“Israeli military forces opened fire on United Nations peacekeepers in southern Lebanon on Sunday, in an incident the U.N. peacekeeping mission described as a serious violation”

This is what defund the police looks like and means. Its about funding programs appropriately and not stripping everyone bare to only fund the police.

Whole bunch of stuff beginning to make a lot of sense.

I don't want to hear a goddamn word from any candidate for office that isn't about salting the earth under the torched remains of these institutions. A forever-cell for each and every one of the filth responsible for this. This is my moderated position.

The culture of disposability around criminalized people set us up for this moment, and to fight fascism, we are going to have to rage against that culture of disposal. Submitting to it (or hiding behind it) is an egregious form of surrender.

Want to know how Canadian universities are complicit in Israel’s genocide? Read this thread.

Posting my response from insta: The reason this bothers me so much, is that it was fine until the privilege had to be shared. It is sad that you (and apparently some others) would prefer to ruin this for everyone instead of having to share this space for one day a year. 1/4

Calgary's Land Use Bylaw is now creating division. Next week, we’ll move to end zoning at City Hall to keep this a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space for all.

"A former United Nations special rapporteur who investigated Israeli abuses against Palestinians says he was interrogated by Canadian authorities on “national security” grounds as he travelled to Canada this week to attend a Gaza-related event."

Despite interference from Canadian Border agents and foreign officials, the Palestine Tribunal on Canadian Responsibility is going ahead in Ottawa today and tomorrow, featuring witnesses from Palestine and international advocates Watch the Tribunal live: www.youtube.com/live/NvYkXaq...

“Epstein trafficked not just in the bodies of the children he abused but also in social connections that could bring elites together … to clamp down on dissent.”

The Jeffrey Esptein scandal the main stream press is ignoring; he was a major player in American foreign policy with deep ties to Israel and other satrapies: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

More than 50,000 people died preventable deaths under Trudeau due to Canada's toxic drug supply. Trudeau's government knew safer supply would save lives and chose not to act. Carney is making the same choice. It's intentional. They choose death. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Calgary city council can’t help itself. For two years it has unleashed police on anti-genocide demonstrators and now, even as it acts legitimately out of fairness, the message it sends is anti-Palestinian. Maybe the move is to focus on halting genocide weapon shipments from the city’s airport?

Something funny about Larry Summers musing about how clever he was in calling women dumb while asking Mr Sex Crimes about how to run game

GOPedophiles.

Probably no biggie that 8 days before his arrest (thus, 5wks before his death) Epstein emailed himself a horde of names headed "list for bannon steve" which is absolutely not a blackmail list and simply features dozens of his known associates, not only beginning with Mandelson but listing him twice.

Independent scholarship in action

Adam Haber, sentenced to 3 years on 2 sexual assault convictions, worked for Last Door Recovery Society at the time of the assaults. Last Door, accused of knowing about and trying to silence the allegations, landed the Calgary Recovery Community contract the month after the allegations surfaced. 1/

So... The final ASIRT report on the alleged illegal surveillance of former Environment and Parks Minister Shannon Phillips by the Lethbridge Police Service is out... And this is a WILD ride with a Spotify ending you aren't going to want to miss! /1

Lutnick is the current Secretary of Commerce and Epstein sent this email three months before he died.

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal." JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"

every one of these released epstein emails is like "hello, yes, i am indeed future president donald j trump. wasn't it fun when i did sex crimes? ha ha, so glad we are friends, jeffrey epstein! don't tell anyone tho :) anyway let me tell you all about my 13-year-old sex slave"

high-level drug dealers: "we never mention anything illegal over text. basic details of transit and logistics are discussed only via encrypted comms." child sex traffickers: "lmao the future president hurt himself in my pedophile mansion bc he was too busy oogling naked children"

Fall 2017: Then-NYT reporter literally warning Epstein that someone is "digging around again."

Another thing this email trove has convinced me of is that NYT has been actively and consciously helping Trump since 2015. It wasn't just casual sexism, double standards, and political reporting Kayfabe. They were doing catch and kill

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

sexual violence is so much a part of the fabric of american society that to mention it at all is to risk upending everything, but it must be talked about. it must be dragged into the light and the people who perpetrate it held to account.

I don't often talk about having been a victim of sexual assault in my childhood and adolescence, but I will say now that everything I've been through in trying to rebuild my sense of self and become a functioning adult is burning in my chest with raw fury at seeing the stupid cruelty of these people

What a great day for finding out that a lot of things people thought were conspiracies are actually backed up by emails that are like hey pedo, let us pedo together in pedoland on the second day of the pedo month

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.
