One solution is the Community Transitional Care Team. @michellegamage.bsky.social reports.

A harm-reduction playbook for covering populists Michael Hauser Tov, chief political correspondent at Haaretz, sets out a research-backed harm-reduction playbook for our addiction to covering populist politicians.

It is clear from the posting of this “poll” & their headline that the staff of Castanet needs to read the populism harm reduction article you shared yesterday asap. reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/harm-reducti...

A harm-reduction playbook for covering populists Michael Hauser Tov, chief political correspondent at Haaretz, sets out a research-backed harm-reduction playbook for our addiction to covering populist politicians.

They’re actively participating in their own recall campaign at this point.
And with that ridiculous headline @castanet.net needs everyone on staff to read this ASAP. reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/harm-reducti... #bcpoli

That was very helpful. Thank you for sharing it. I know journalism & news media are struggling but I wish they were all using this harm reduction methodology. It would do so much good for everyone!

Of course even the murder of “guilty” civilians is outrageous and illegal. The executives from the tobacco giants like Altria (Philip Morris) who donated to Trump’s ballroom certainly hope so.

Why is the media consistently saying "energy," when they actually mean "oil and gas"?
"Alberta energy deal" rather than "Alberta oil and gas deal" etc.
This is obfuscation.
It serves to present these agreements as beneficial to all, rather than specifically beneficial to the oil and gas industry.

Here’s How BC Can Help People Quit Smoking | The Tyee Make nicotine pouches more available, urges the legislature’s budget committee.

For people ready to quit, being forced to find a pharmacy that stocks nicotine pouches, then speak to a pharmacist, get approved and complete the purchase, can be the difference between acting on motivation and deciding it’s not worth the hassle.

Craig Plain writes. 🚬 #bcpoli

African nations push for recognition of colonial crimes and reparations African leaders are pushing to have colonial-era crimes recognized, criminalized and addressed through reparations.

“At a conference in Algiers, diplomats and leaders convened to advance an African Union resolution passed at a meeting earlier this year calling for justice and reparations for victims of colonialism.”

Colonialism still shapes our present. Colonial states need to make reparations for their harms.

So much devastation and suffering. 😞

YouTube video by RealLifeLore The Worst Horror On Earth You Aren't Being Told About

One YouTube channel which I'm a fan of is Real Life Lore for their in depth explainers of world events. Their latest video about the Sudanese civil war (since 2023) mentioned a siege that in some ways could be even worse than Gaza. A must watch for sure. #cdnpoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMVG...

Yup! 😂

Photo of petition from the website reads: Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled Whereas: • Canada's First Past the Post (FPTP voting system produces election results that do not reflect the will of voters; • This has contributed to increasing polarization, voter cynicism, and declining faith in government; • In 2016, Parliament established the Special Committee on Electoral Reform (ERRE, which held extensive public consultations and recommended that Canada adopt a proportional representation voting system; • The recommendations of the Committee were not implemented, despite an election commitment to reform, which has further eroded public trust; • The structural flaws of Canada's voting system are a critical vulnerability in an era of rising authoritarianism, creating conditions that can be exploited to destabilize democratic institutions and undermine national security; and • Implementing proportional representation is the most effective step the government can take to safeguard Canada's democracy now, and for future generations. We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to: 14 Acknowledge that Canada has already completed the consultation phase on electoral reform through the work of the Special Committee on Electoral Reform; 2X Commit to implementing a proportional-representation voting system before the next federal election; 3x Establish an independent, non-partisan commission to determine the best proportional model for Canada and oversee its implementation; and 4x Provide for a confirmatory referendum after two general elections under the new system.

Canadian petition e-6993 is calling for action on electoral reform
