@DanWilliamsALTA Detox beds are great, but last I checked, they donāt save lives during an overdose. Calgarians know we need BOTH. 294 signatures say you're missing the point. Sign here: forms.gle/thJn62ijK4bJ346N7 #ableg #yyccc #abpoli

Today Edmonton police leadership on 630 CHED unfairly tried to discredit my reporting about their own data on the use of the navigation centre.
I analyzed high risk encampent team's sergeant shift reports obtained by @coalition4jhr
Here's what happened

1. Why are you comparing a part of one city with a highly susceptible population to a whole province?
2. AB & BC continue to have comparable mortality rates, but AB routinely under-reports deaths by 10-30%, months later than BC.
3. 45 DEATHS/100K IS NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF.
ALT The Vancouver-Centre North local health area, which includes Vancouverās Downtown Eastside, reported a rate of death more than 12 times greater than the provincial average.
āØRaffle tickets can be purchased by donating directly to 4B through e transfer or through their donation portal on their website:

š§µ Media are taking renewed interest in declining drug toxicity deaths in Alberta.
The first thing to highlight ā before ministry staffer statements ā is that drug supply toxicity, not government intervention, is the key driving factor behind death rates. 1/
Please help if you can! Itās going to be a hot one this week @4bHarmReduction will be out some extra days and we could really use your helpš #CommunityIsCaring

Every year the gov't somehow gets someone to treat the Alberta Model like it's just getting started, it's a bold new initiative, critics are just impatient and don't believe, and we'll see the results soon. It isn't. Every client I had who was stable a few years ago is unstable

AND ALSO for those without mental health and addiction struggles but who use unregulated drugs.
There is NO EVIDENCE we are in the midst of an 'addiction crisis.' Replace the illegal supply.
PLEASE, Nenshi team, PLEASE: don't do this š
New data from the province shows in 2023, Alberta set a new record for opioid-related deaths - 1,867 Albertans lost their lives. It's staggering, and we need to do better. That means creating evidence-based pathways for those with mental illness and addictions.
