"It may seem wrong that, after more than 30,000 Palestinians in Gaza have perished, it took the deaths of just seven international aid workers to stir Western governments into a sense of outrage, but that is the reality."

@AndreaWoo @kbolan I actually missed that. Don’t know how but will read now 🙈
@AndreaWoo In my 13 years in DTES ending in 2016 I have never heard or encounter any of these allegations above nor was I ever approached or suggested by pharmacy staff that I do this or that for some cash. Same for my friends, if they did it I would know. First news from your tweet. 🤔
@AndreaWoo Amazing work as usual @AndreaWoo
@AndreaWoo Kudos for finding this angle and pursuing it Andrea. I have heard of seniors on fixed incomes who are incentivized often by DTES pharmacies.
This is a pretty big deal. Great reporting.
🧵 Numerous B.C. pharmacies are accused of offering prohibited cash kickbacks to vulnerable patients for their prescriptions in an effort to maximize the amounts the pharmacies can bill the province’s publicly funded drug plan theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

The team at @VANDUpeople brought me back to life a few weeks ago. Thanks for saving my life. Regulate the drug supply.
Bridge builders like my friend @guyfelicella should be allowed into the Recovery conference. Organizers would be justified in blocking me from going tho. I picked my side. I know why I'm alive. Abstinence fundamentalism is lethal. Has killed friends. Nearly me too.
I am so hurt. Disheartened. 🧵 Yesterday I received an email informing me that I’m no longer welcome at the National Recovery Capital Conference, organized by @Last_Door, taking place this week in Calgary. My registration has been cancelled and I will not be permitted to attend.…

@TheFrustratedP1 Kudos to @AndreaWoo for shedding some much needed light on lack of accountability as we watch this public health emergency claim more lives.
In theory, if social assistance rates were a dignified level, maybe he wouldn’t have to sell off his prescription medication to survive 🤔 Or maybe he’d still do it, IDK. But if his needs were met, he wouldn’t have to do this. #basicincome #bcpoli #cdnpoli #healthcare
The patient said the fentanyl patches do work to stave off withdrawal symptoms. But, he is low-income, and being given the box means he can sell them if he needs the cash. Can also sell the hydromorphone. He tosses the rest, which he only asks for for the pharmacy kickbacks
Wait a minute….
