‘Our province – our home – prospers because a sense of community is fundamental to who we are. (…) That sense of community is now threatened.’ Today, ABmunis President @CptGandam, explained to reporters how Bill 20 is threatening Alberta's communities and how it appears to…
Forced addictions treatment is a poor practice that unfortunately comes around again and again. People use small sample anecdotes to justify policy. Evidence-based practice on the other hand notes that treatment needs to be available but also needs to be a choice.
Excellent comment. During 2021-22 we had almost zero cases of flu, never mind deaths. This is a preventable tragedy folks. But it takes work on the part of a caring government.

It’s interesting how Minister @RicMcIver continues to reference the mask bylaw as a reason to introduce this legislation. It is interesting because former Premier Kenney asked municipalities to make that decision because they didn’t want to. #ableg #abpoli

An important thread & summary on food insecurity in Canada. ➡️ “The estimates for 2023 are the highest in the almost 20 years of monitoring.” Note: “Living in a food-insecure household means living in pervasive material deprivation w/compromises to basic needs beyond just food.”

With every bill, they're making it more difficult to call them conservative, and tougher to avoid the label authoritarian.

Reminder: the UCP's drift into authoritarianism is neither new nor normal. The volume & audacity of their misdeeds shouldn't lull Albertans into thinking that it’s politics as usual. Just because these episodes happen in plain sight doesn't excuse them. theconversation.com/democracy-itse…

BC never gave #decrim a fair chance. It is blamed for social issues that are the result of policy failuree resulting in a housing crisis & poverty. Rather than address the real issues @Dave_Eby found a convenient scapegoat. Our loved ones die. #bcpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
This was a ridiculous bit of spin from the minister to defend his government's unpopular position on civic political parties. Apparently Calgary and Edmonton now represent 2% of Alberta. Laughable and infuriating at the same time. #ableg

Today, BC gov announced they're making public drug use illegal. Public use has not increased because of decrim. People use outside for lack of alternatives. We've been calling for more OPSs, treatment & housing for 25 yrs. If we'd been listened to, there'd be no issue today.

I am deeply concerned with the proposed changes outlined in Alberta’s Bill 20. This legislation is an attack on local democracy. #yegcc
So disappointed to see #BritishColumbia re-criminalize drug use in public spaces. It will only increase #overdose, needle sharing & #infectiousdisease risk. SHAMEFUL. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
Bill 20 is serious. It is a dismantling of municipal authority. Elections and local democracies are being undermined by the province with zero forethought regarding the dangerous consequences down the road. Or maybe it is, and that is an even more deeply troubling thought.

Still thinking about Calgary police saying they won't charge a person with a crime because he would become more criminal if charged. I don't think that's how criminal procedure works.
I met @IanAchille on this hellsite many moons ago (but actually 20 yrs prior as we later figured out). He was incredibly smart & witty but also caring, compassionate & brave AF as he battled cancer & the stupidity of our politics. Ian passed away on April 27. Rest easy friend. 💔
Providence hospital in Portland discharged a man and then said he, “didn’t want to leave,” and then called the police. Body cam footage shows him in and out of consciousness, not “noncompliant.” He died in Milwaukee police custody on the way to Unity.
@Genghiscoq No arguing taste, but let's put it to the test. In slides 1, 2, and 3, I've included photos of athletic guys wearing clothes that follow these tailoring principles. In slide 4, I've shown athletic guys in snugger fits. Who looks better? People can comment below
I fully agree with Premier @ABDanielleSmith (from two years ago) where she states the hyper-partisan system is very flawed. So why is the provincial government looking to introduce more partisanship into local democracy? #ableg #abpoli
Unregulated drug deaths began skyrocketing while @PierrePoilievre was in PM Harper's Cabinet Why? Shift to illicit fentanyl spurred by the "crack down" on pharmaceuticals (e.g. Oxycontin) and "war on drugs" disruptions/seizures Since then, the genie has been out of the bottle
The presentation of anecdotal evidence is a poor substitute for the compilation and analysis of aggregate data.
Since harm reduction activists keep gaslighting Canadians about "safer supply" fraud, I decided to publish a video interview with an addiction worker who explained how these programs are being widely abused. Watch his interview if you want to know that's really going on.
I’ve been out at community events over the weekend and Bill 20 came up quite often. Unsurprisingly, there was no support for this legislation as it undermines local democracy. The feedback I heard aligns with the provincial government’s own survey. #ableg #abpoli

Great to be back home after two weeks abroad. Hosted a gathering of Global South intellectuals and experts to discuss regenerative medicine technologies and related governance in Durban, SA. A highlight of my career for sure.
Actor @TheElliotPage on Danielle Smith's anti-trans policies: "First of all, it’s awful,” Page said about Alberta’s policies. “It’s harmful. It stems from misinformation and lies about our healthcare, about our lives and who we are." calgaryherald.com/entertainment/…
Pierre Poilievre helped create a moral panic against people who are homeless who use substances. Now he applauds their criminalization. @PierrePoilievre is a denier of the facts: 1) Unregulated illicit drugs are killing Canadians 2) Deaths unabated under the “recovery-oriented”…
"Bring our loved ones home drug-free"? How is that going to happen -- through the use of increased criminalization and imprisonment? Dismal success to date with that strategy.
Trudeau/NDP decriminalized public use of crack, heroin & fentanyl, which brought crime, chaos, drugs & disorder to our streets. Common sense Conservatives are calling for an emergency debate to end this radical policy and bring our loved ones home drug-free.
Congratulations @SofiaAhmedMD!

The crazy thing about all this is that these are people who have no actual plan for how to govern or improve the lives of everyday Alberta. They just want control so they can feel more powerful.
What's missing here is any indication of caring about what happens to those who have been displaced -- almost by definition, a vulnerable population.
THANK YOU @CityofLdnOnt @lpsmediaoffice and everyone else who played a role in the encampment clean-ups that happened this Thursday & Friday in the #OEV municipal parking lots and on sidewalks. I received so many messages of gratitude!! You made a difference & brought hope.
Their followers are understandably upset about having their voting rights stripped away, so Take Back Alberta is spreading lies about Bill 20. In particular, they're saying that provincial govts have always had the power to remove local councillors on a whim. That's untrue.+
It's also interesting because Minister McIver was in cabinet when the decision was made to defer to municipalities.
It’s interesting how Minister @RicMcIver continues to reference the mask bylaw as a reason to introduce this legislation. It is interesting because former Premier Kenney asked municipalities to make that decision because they didn’t want to. #ableg #abpoli
Some think labeling the UCP as "authoritarian" is over-the-top. They've granted themselves the ability to overturn local elections and bylaws as they see fit. And that's only this week.
As of April 26th there is no publicly available data suggesting increased public substance use throughout BC
Throughout this presser, there has been a lot of discussion of "safety." Eby and Fiona Wilson have discussed how important it is for people to "feel safe." But why is that FEELING of safety more important than the ACTUAL safety of people who use drugs?
This is the worst presser I’ve ever seen. Non-sequitors Non-answers No research or evidence No engagement No listening to Albertans #ableg #abpoli
It’s almost impossible to unpack how incredibly McIver manages to out-Rumsfeld Donald Rumsfeld in this clip. Metrics - “No idea, we’ll make them up as we go!” Parties - “Parties will have no connection to provincial parties but people will know who the NDP candidates are.”
