Five months ago, I learned about emails and documents suggesting a former Alberta justice minister had hired a political fixer to obtain my phone logs to find my sources. Here’s the story by @row1960 for @cdnpressnews #abpoli #ableg cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Only 30% of the 5M units of children's medication paid for by the province ($75M) was ever shipped to Alberta and even less has been used. AHS says 9,000 of the 250,000 bottles of acetaminophen were ever distributed to hospital pharmacies. #abpoli #ableg theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta…
The other 1.25M units of acetaminophen and ibuprofen that landed in Alberta from Turkish manufacturer Atabay Pharmaceuticals arrived between March and May for retail use. A drug supply notice, posted by Health Canada, said the countrywide shortage ended in April. #abhealth
Health Minister Adriana LaGrange's office said, in a statement, that the ministry and AHS are exploring “other options” for the remainder of the contract. The ministry, for months, has declined to say whether AB was financially protected if the contract was not fulfilled. #abpoli

More than 50 research scientist and clinicians have signed an open letter expressing concerns with a report submitted to the Alberta special committee to examine safe supply. #abpoli #ableg
It says: "This report fails to adhere to best standards for evidence reviews... due primarily to its problematic search strategy, which resulted in the exclusion of key studies (and) a number of irrelevant studies being included. There are, however, many other shortcomings."
The report, commissioned by Alberta Health, can be found here: sfu.ca/carmha/publica… It was assessed by experts at @BCCSU, who concluded the report's conclusion is not based on existing evidence. #abpoli #ableg

Another 122 Albertans died from unintentional drug overdoses in May, according to updated provincial data. This brings the death toll to 624 in the first five months of 2021 — a 41 per cent increase from the same time period in 2020. #abpoli #abhealth
The rate of drug poisoning in the province during May was 32.4 per 100,000 people. However, Lethbridge and Grande Prairie had rates far above the provincial average at 83.9 and 78.7, respectively. #abpoli #abhealth

The risk of dying from COVID-19 far outweighs the risk of developing a blood clot after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine, stresses @CMOH_Alberta as Alberta confirms Canada's second case of an AstraZeneca-linked blood clot. @calgaryherald #COVID19AB calgaryherald.com/news/local-new…
On the topic, @jasonfherring wrote about how Calgary's mass-immunization hub has seen a paltry turnout for AstraZeneca shots, prompting questions about expanded eligibility. #COVID19AB
Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Alberta's chief medical officer of health, is holding a media availability about the confirmed case of an AstraZeneca-linked blood clot in an Alberta patient at noon. I'll be live-tweeting. You can follow along below. #COVID19AB @calgaryherald @calgarysun

At 2 pm, Alberta RCMP is holding a media availability to discuss the investigation into the disappearance of two Cochrane girls, who were found safe this week in B.C. Follow along below. @calgaryherald @calgarysun calgaryherald.com/news/local-new…
Here we go. Insp. Rick Jané, with the Alberta RCMP Serious Crimes Branch, says two adult relatives of the children were located and arrested in relation to the abduction.
Jané says this was a demanding investigation. He said while an Amber Alert was not issued, the RCMP appreciates the work of the media and others as the safety of the girls was their top priority.

Another anniversary this week. It has been one year since the province released its report on the socio-economic impact of supervised consumption sites in Alberta. #ableg #abpoli
What’s happened since? The province won’t say. That report was expected to guide decision-making related to existing and future sites. #ableg #abpoli @calgaryherald calgaryherald.com/news/local-new…
Here's some background from the past year.

The report was released on March 5, 2020 — exactly one year ago today. Jason Luan, associate minister of mental health and addictions, said it detailed a "system of chaos."
