I am honoured to be one of the few asked to come to Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation, to witness, to tell the story of all our relations. We grieve. We love and we demand justice. It’s time to bring our children home from the residential schools theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

Edmonton is currently drowning in ODs. Our team, van and bike team are all responding, as well as the community and EMS. But it’s not enough. Please take care of yourselves and each other. Don’t use alone. Have naloxone. Start small - you can add but you can’t take away. ❤️❤️❤️

“after the SCS closed down in August of 2020, 91 Blood Tribe members died of overdoses. Tailfeathers says they had no safe places to go and that “many of them were found in back alleys behind houses or in basements alone.” #ableg #harmreduction mylethbridgenow.com/19372/blood-tr…

Always a delight to be reminded of the place disabled people hold in society. Our deaths don't count.

Alberta realities to confront on #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay: - First Nations were 7.3X (!!!) more likely to die of opioid OD than non-FN in the first 6 months of 2020 - such shocking data were released to the public without comment last Friday afternoon open.alberta.ca/dataset/ef2d35…

“Closing services that are evidence- based and effective at both saving lives and saving money is dangerous and irresponsible.” #ableg #yeg #yyc edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…

“Please get the shot,” says #YEG Physician Dr. Greg Gilmour. “We are currently being overwhelmed by a surge of admissions that are predominantly unvaccinated folks coming in with severe COVID-19.” #covidvaccine

Sept 24/21 Emergency Policy Request for Opioid Poisoning Reduction Letter: albertazmsa.com/ezmsa #harmreduction AB's health system is overwhelmed. We need solutions to reduce stress on ICUs, ERs and first responders. Alberta Health approach to drug poisoning strains acute care. /1

“We're exhausted from constantly having to debate our existence” Anna Murphy Trans rights are human rights. Period. cbc.ca/news/canada/an…

As of today, it’s official: Conversion therapy is banned in Canada. Our government’s legislation has come into force - which means it is now illegal to promote, advertise, benefit from, or subject someone to this hateful and harmful practice. LGBTQ2 rights are human rights.

When we’re kids They tell us we’re “special” And “inspiring” That we can “overcome” When we’re grown We demand the right To not live in poverty To have healthcare To exist Instead they say Our deaths are “encouraging” Remind me What age does “special” Become “disposable”?

The Alberta government has finally released complete data on 2021 drug poisoning deaths. The numbers are bleak. 1758 people dead last year. In November and December we had the highest monthly totals *ever recorded;* 176 people lost in each month. 🧵 #ableg

The provincial government’s new ideology-driven restrictions put 100s of Albertans prescribed hydromorphone for severe opioid addiction in jeopardy. To what end? Toxic illegal drugs, not diverted pharmaceuticals, are responsible for almost all overdose deaths here. #ableg
