🚨 SCOOP 🚨 I've secured a leaked copy of the class action lawsuit being filed on behalf of the victims of Canada's "safer supply" experiment. So let's go over some of the juicy bits along with the context of the case. [1] The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Kamilah Sword and Amelie North, two teenage girls in BC who developed opioid addictions due to safer supply. You can read about them in my feature from May 2023 (Amelie was given a pseudonym). [2]

🚨 SCOOP 🚨 Hydromorphone seizures in London, Ontario skyrocketed by 3,000% after access to safer supply was greatly expanded in 2020 – but the police failed to disclose this data despite the national debate about safer supply diversion. /1

🚨 BIG SCOOP 🚨 According to secret audio recordings obtained by the National Post, a coalition of harm reduction activists organized a sophisticated campaign to disrupt and intimidate their opponents at a high-profile conference today. /1

My new 10,000 word investigative report shows that Canada's safer supply programs have been a disaster. A significant portion of the opioids being distributed by the government are being sold ("diverted") to the black market to purchase illicit fentanyl.

Russian troops tried to kill me on Saturday. I was accompanying humanitarian aid workers delivering medicine to villages north of Kharkiv, near the front line. We stopped briefly at a destroyed bridge, and then the Russians targeted us with artillery. I heard an explosion. It sounded like it was in the trees right beside us. Right there. My heart stopped.
