We act like BC has a viable and accessible #SafeSupply, but we don’t
The cons will say the streets are flooded with safe supply, but it isn’t
The BC Gov will say they are different from the callous Alberta government, but they aren’t
Alberta Model™️=BC Model™️
On the global stage, people believe that the ‘benevolent’ government of British Columbia is progressive and that they’ve paved the way for universal #SafeSupply accessibility.
That’s because they (the gov) is misleading the public.
“A Medicine Hat-based recovery organization, which has to date received six-figures in government funding, has endorsed an anti-supervised consumption site ad campaign in the U.S.”
Unfortunate, but not surprising. There is a coordinated movement underway to shift public opinion away from #HarmReduction. A movement heavily influenced by the misinformation machine in #Alberta.
Year after year in so-called #Canada, we see more of our loved ones, friends, neighbours, and community members killed by a failure to address the volatility of the unregulated drug supply.
This is not a crisis of ‘opioids’ or ‘overdose’—people are being poisoned.
We are talking about drug regulation, consumer rights, and bodily autonomy.
@kwardvancouver says it best:
“We must replace the entire illicit drug supply with regulated substances accessible to all”
As @ABDanielleSmith shuffles the cabinet and dispenses her favours, let’s take a quick look at the storied history of being a #UCP “Minister of Mental Health and Addictions”.
Next, let’s see what the Ass. Minister has had to say about SCS and #harmreduction.
Surely his beliefs about Big Pharma funding research for harm reduction, and that #naloxone is an enabler couldn’t have impacted the committees viewpoints?
