(its really cool how we have tenured researchers in substance use and drug policy in BC with resources and public funding who cant be bothered to make relevant information accessible on public platforms and broadcast it widely, with their institutional power)

you mean this asshole giving this misleading impression of BC's response? do they not realize how harmful this is? WHAT

btw thomas, THEYRE NOT THE SAME EVERYWHERE because LOCAL CONTEXT MATTERS and BC isnt "ahead" because its not a competition and everyone's dead.

shit are you serious? karen makes death charts on friday nights? what about all those other academic dudes at BCCSU who blocked karen when she told them they were exploitative and harmful? omg now that's insecurity. wow. ryan, geoff, garth, and guy. ridiculous.
