- Prescribed #SafeSupply is hanging by a thread in BC but AVI Health & Community Services is still doing their best, providing access to harm reduction workers & walking the talk on "meaningful inclusion." This work will be featured at @cpha-acsp.bsky.social's #ph26sp www.catie.ca/programming-...
- Reposted by Heather HobbsHow do you create a regulatory pathway so Canada can implement a non-medical model of safer supply to save lives in the middle of a public health crisis? Not even the guy who was No. 2 at Health Canada could think of a way. The fed gov makes drug laws, and can’t think of a way to get around them.

- Waiting for my vaccines at a suburban pharmacy and someone just approached the pharmacists to get their daily juice ... with full-sized chocolate bars and friendly greetings for all the staff. The staff clearly love this person and now I do too. #HarmReductionSavesLives

- Life-saving and life-affirming services and initiatives I care about are in funding crises. Learn more about the ever-increasing police budget in @victoria.ca. Compare police priorities with your vision for the world. Policing poverty & the consequences of punitive social policy is a choice.

- "The more that we can give people alternatives to toxic drugs, the more that we can give them some stability and some support," she said. "I think from a community's perspective, they would see a lot of changes." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #bcpoli
- This short video is a couple years old & worth a re-share, IMHO. A lot of misinformation is circulated about prescribed alternatives & this lays out some of the facts plainly. As we approach #IOAD25, it's worth taking the time to understand the many ways #HarmReductionWorks youtu.be/iRuXM8aS-4U

- "The findings echo a February 2024 statement from Canada’s Federal Housing Advocate, who described forced encampment evictions, including “street sweeps,” as a #humanrights violation and urged all levels of government to halt the practice." @victoria.ca @saanichbc.bsky.social

- goddamn, this episode ❤️
- Sometimes an impromptu 20 min chat with a couple of Indigenous Auntie Queens in the snack aisle of the drug store is enough to heal your heart just a little. Holy smokes, the power. 🧡❤️🔥🧡
