🚨If you still think so-called 'safe supply' is defensible, read this⬇️

David Eby Justin Trudeau Ya'ara Saks יערה זקס should read it too.

It's time to defund this failed experiment and focus on treatment and recovery for our neighbours and loved ones.

The police in London, Ontario just seized almost 10,000 8mg hydromorphone pills.

Safer supply is a menace to that city – and to all Canadians.

See Spring Mental Wellness Coalition Dr. Julian Somers BC NDP BC Housing City of Victoria CRD As See Spring's Disability Advisor I am so thankful that Dr. Julian Somers & his team took time to come over and listen to the stories of people who live in the Victoria streets. These clips are being seen & shared with other outreach groups. 'Knowledge is power'.

💔RIP to our SEE SPRING colleague & tent office CEO. We’re off Twitter till May but thank Dr. Julian Somers for travelling here to listen when our Government BC NDP BC Housing City of Victoria CRD wouldn’t. youtu.be/5lto-fbMV2w?si…

BC’s former Provincial Health Officer, Deputy Provincial Health Officer, Scientific Director of Michael Smith Foundation, and Director of BCCSU all lobbied for “Safe Supply” and formed related companies. Was this appropriate?

Senior public leaders believed they could lobby for “safe supply”, form related companies, and bully critics into silence. It’s been brutal.

Thank you Adam. Great work.

BC Government leaders do not believe that Substance Use Disorders can be treated or prevented. They need to be replaced.

Addressing drug use in BC hospitals “within 24 hours” requires a plan.

Over a year ago Mr Falcon posted a plan for a recovery oriented system of care. In my view it represents a courageous step. Consider taking a look and suggesting improvements:

“I’m very confident in saying that they were diverted from safe supply.” –Campbell River RCMP

“The safe supply stuff was shocking for me. I didn’t realize how bad it was.” –WeWaiKai Nation Chief

My story in NorthernBeat News

According to proponents of safe supply, cancer patients and the arthritic elderly are responsible for the reported cases of diverted of hydromorphone.

For god sakes, won’t someone do something about these crooked and dodgy geriatrics?!

Stunning video. People who have untreated addictions are generating health hazards that require workers to wear breathing filtration systems. Watch as the Minister says nothing about how the Govt is addressing the acute and chronic risks to the health of the patients themselves.

SweetG AKA unused bootstraps The database was being updated. The Ministry of Health had formally renewed only weeks earlier. There was no hint of change.
I gave a briefing to Deputy Ministers, informing them of our measurement abilities.
One week later we were ordered to immediately destroy the database.

One week after briefing Deputy Ministers about the proposal, SFU received an order to destroy an internationally unique population-level database, eliminating the possibility of measuring new services. At the time the order was given the database was being renewed.

Strong letter. The Province’s approach to policing in Surrey is a litmus test.

Two years ago we reported that people who live in poverty with addictions were likely to sell of trade PSAD/“Safe Supply”.

People need more than drugs to reestablish health.

The day is coming when we can discuss needs that include decent housing, re-establishing work/study, and reintegrating as members of healthy communities. Those goals are achievable, measurable, and have been replicated in B.C.

Elizabeth Mark Söze IMO we need to do more. Our HR research has included offering options that reduced harms from:

living on the street or in an SRO;
food insecurity;
predators;
risky drug use;
unemployment;
separation from kids/family;
hopelessness and despair.

Dr. Julian Somers Janice Williams It looks like other provinces are adopting the Alberta model for addiction recovery. And BC needs to do the same. And we can. The first step is to get rid of the NDP.
