No More ‘Drill and Dash’ in Alberta

You clean up your mess. Oil companies won’t.

Now, Alberta’s MAS may make taxpayers foot their $130B cleanup bill.

Enough. Demand a public inquiry into AB’s well cleanup crisis now: share.nwmd.social/s/FV8irWGH

They say I’m radical for supporting harm reduction.
Saving lives isn’t radical.
Letting people die is!

Angus: It’s like having to negotiate with Al Capone in his syphilitic period. You want to shut down the bridge? Go ahead. Every day, 1,500 nurses from Canada go to help keep Detroit’s health care system going. I personally think those nurses should be working in Canada.

The US Ambassador to Canada aka Chucklehead....

We, the undersigned citizens & residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:
1. Publicly condemn U.S. aggressions as violations of international law;
2. Refuse to participate in, support, or legitimize military, economic, or political aggressions against Venezuela and other countries;

America is starving Cuba

Involuntary care fails to improve outcomes & raises overdose risk.
Real care is voluntary meaning available harm reduction options, accessible treatment, housing and long-term supports.
Punishment dressed as care is not that and never has been.
We need evidence-based compassion, not coercion.

Great analysis in this episode about the UCP misrepresenting data around ambulance calls for drug poisoning (citing @drugdatadecoded.ca)
and the false claims about crime near consumption sites.
At 13 min, better yet listen to the whole episode of #ABpoli @thebreakdownab.bsky.social!

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.

Who is making money off this?

Is Marshall involved? Sam?

Graphic with the headline “Naloxone isn’t just for people who use substances.” It lists everyday scenarios where naloxone can save lives, alongside photos: an older woman holding pill bottles, a baby with a pill, a dog sniffing the ground outdoors, and a parent hugging a child. The message emphasizes that unexpected overdoses can happen in ordinary homes and that having naloxone ready saves lives. Ends with “Every life is worth saving” and the Steps of Hope logo.

This image says it clearly and compassionately. Naloxone isn’t about labels .. it’s about being prepared. Accidents happen to seniors, kids, pets, and families every day. Having naloxone means you care enough to be ready. It saves lives. Every life matters 💜 #naloxonesavelives

Blue-filtered photo of a hospital emergency department entrance. Text reads, "Albertans Head to Ottawa to Demand Action on Bill 11. Read FOM's release: friendsofmedicare.org/news"

FOM & over 200 advocates & health care workers (incl. 30+ Albertans!) are in Ottawa this week for the Canadian Health Coalition's annual lobby for public health care!

Alberta cuts access to health care for some temporary workers, raising concerns in the Bow Valley | CBC News Alberta has stopped offering provincial health coverage to some people on working holiday and young professional visas, a change that came into effect earlier this year without a public announcement. ...

"Alberta is now an outlier among western provinces. British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba all confirmed to CBC News that Type 58 visa holders are eligible for public health coverage in their provinces."

And the limiting health care begins.

You can flood streets with cops and still have suffering everywhere.
Or you can fund housing, mental health care, and addiction treatment,
and actually make people safe.
One is control.
The other is solutions!

Canadians, Please consider signing this petition asking for renewable energy to be funded equally well as fossil fuels via subsidies. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Extremely disappointing to see the lack of accountability and compassion from municipal leaders here.

“there's no correlation between our actions and the overdose events so no one's holding us to blame for that,”

Counterpoint, saying “we’re not to blame” does not exonerate you.

Two Alberta Judges Under Investigation over Donations to the UCP | The Tyee Ethical standards say judges should not be involved in politics or supporting parties.

“Alberta’s chief justice is investigating the conduct of two judges after the Investigative Journalism Foundation uncovered evidence suggesting they gave money to the United Conservative Party after being appointed to the provincial court bench.”

“In a letter to Smith, the Canadian Bar Association, which speaks for 40,000 lawyers, judges and legal professionals across the country, says Smith's proposal would compromise the appointment process and judicial independence.”

She’s purposefully sowing distrust of democratic systems.

This situation isn’t unique to BC. The same can be said for Alberta, where significant public investment has gone into the private treatment industry without any publicly reported outcomes. Overdose deaths in Edmonton continue to exceed the provincial average, and ambulance calls are at record highs

Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation is calling for an urgent meeting to address the separatist threat in Alberta and its flagrant disregard for Treaties.

Does it have to do with the lack of safer supplies too?

BREAKING: Calgary City Council votes NO to asking province to close the city’s only supervised consumption site for the second time in sixteen months.

Hi all. I’m working with the Edmonton Remand Centre to launch a BOOK DRIVE. The goal is simple: give people inside access to other worlds and lives. Stephen King to Tolstoy, Tolkien to Colleen Hoover, and everything in between. Books matter. Stories matter.
