Posting about it is one thing. Doing it in the first place is another.

This should be a huge fucking wake-up call to every level of government playing footsie with fascists and their pals in ‘law enforcement.’
These people are by far the biggest threat to public safety - not protesters, not encampment dwellers, not people using drugs. Fascists.

Forced treatment doesn’t create recovery.
It creates resistance.
I’ve worked in the private recovery industry.
The clients who were forced into it didn’t recover.
They relapsed, they disappeared, and some died.
Support people. Don’t control them!

‘Alberta model should be the Canadian model’: Barrie mayor praises Alberta on how provinces handle homelessness

Barrie Ontario’s mayor is Alex Nuttall and he apparently likes seeing unhoused people lose their limbs to frostbite amputations, and other horrors.

"We can help": How Recovery Alberta facilitated consumption site closures by Ministry (Part 1) "No other sites shutting down," Recovery Alberta leaders told staff in late 2024, as the Red Deer site closure was announced. A year later, the Royal Alex Hospital site was closed. New documents revea...

Far too many ledes in this story, and it’s already in two parts. (One was even a CBC headline this morning.)

Officer who dropped Justin Bone in Edmonton in violation of court order testifies in murder trial The trial for the man accused of fatally beating two men in Edmonton’s Chinatown continued on Friday.

i don't think edmonton should ever forget that the 2022 chinatown murders were a direct consequence of RCMP cops choosing to dump justin bone in the city in violation of a court order

City Council’s priorities are completely out of whack. They can’t clean streets, can’t tow vehicles, and are making it harder for small businesses to survive, all while handing out millions of dollars to the billionaire owner of a hockey club. Absolutely shameful.

Ever wonder why police narratives dominate "public safety" discourse, when police funding has no correlation with actual safety?

TONIGHT, 5:30 MST: business and outreach communities are joining forces to push back – and talk sense on real community safety.

Alberta government hiding additional drug jail plans Newly obtained documents reveal a hidden plan to build a drug jail in Grande Prairie, raising questions about how many additional facilities are in the works.

SCOOP
A year ago, the Alberta government said it was building 2 drug jails for detainment and forced withdrawal of people who use drugs, in Calgary and Edmonton.

Turns out another was planned for Grande Prairie.

Any others? Seems likely.

BC’s Drug Response Isn’t Following the Evidence: Former Coroner | The Tyee The province is neglecting safer supply and housing, which are proven to reduce harms, says Lisa Lapointe.

Former chief coroner Lisa Lapointe recently criticized B.C.’s drug policies, saying the province’s approach to the ongoing #ToxicDrugCrisis is not evidence-based. @michellegamage.bsky.social reports. #bcpoli

This is great and all, but honestly lets just get cops out there with shovels. Then at least we'll be getting something of tangible value for the half billion a year they cost us.

A historic fight for press freedom begins Four years after a dramatic arrest, Amber Bracken and The Narwhal are turning the tables and suing the RCMP. The trial starts today.

This morning in Vancouver, Amber Bracken will take on the RCMP in a historic lawsuit brought by @thenarwhal.ca over her arrest while working in the field. @arnokopecky.bsky.social on why this lawsuit matters.

Among other things, the city needs to explain why this specific plane is privately owned when previous planes were owned by the city. Why did Edmonton tax payers buy a plane for private shareholders?

If you spend any time in Edmonton with the folks who live on its streets, you'll see how the elites have condemned them to horrific situations, including the obvious possibility of disease.

A conservative Alberta MP crossing the floor should tell you everything you need to know about the Carney, liberals and liberalism in general.

Opinion: Cuts have left Edmonton's homeless with nowhere to go Too few Edmontonians are aware a tidal wave of recent funding cuts and closures has wiped the city’s daytime drop-in spaces off the map.

One of our (newly elected) City Council's first orders of business was to *unanimously* approve $1 million to expand access to day shelter space in Edmonton. 👏🏻

Every little bit will help

Exactly. What a weak and depressing response.

I knew we were woefully unprepared for this moment but if the best we’ve got is join the NDP and letting the government know teachers “are still here.” We are cooked.

Am I missing something or are the unions in Alberta too quiet today. What is the move, gang?

Cops aren’t workers. They organize as police, not as workers and they will be the first ones to enforce the will of this authoritarian government. Police associations are not labour unions.

Found this post interesting....
What's that word again for a person who says one thing, but acts in a totally opposite way???
Cuz this is a pretty interesting "view" from a major architect of FORCED Addictions care, and taking away trans-care autonomy and choice!

Who were the scrutineers at the poll(s) where the discrepancies happened? 🧐

I cannot imagine a city councillor being as connected to community, as engaged, as responsive as Rajah Maggay. I wish you luck, Nakota Isga, you could have had a real one.

Edmonton, thank you.

I'm excited to build a stronger Edmonton, together.

I would have given 800k to developers in hopes that votes would trickle down

The very last voter in line at the polling station I’m scrutineering at couldn’t vote after being here for over an hour and half because he was at the wrong polling station. What a shit show.
