I see nothing in the Liberal Party platform that could improve safety for people who use drugs, but plenty to make their lives more difficult & dangerous. Reads to me like doubling down on drug war failures: more cops w/ more powers, harm reduction unmentioned. Alberta model goes federal.

4,000+ youth forced into withdrawal under PChAD (2016–2024). How many died after release without a treatment plan? #ableg is expanding involuntary care for adults without showing outcomes. Danielle Smith said “let’s just give it a try” .. um, let’s not. We need data, not deaths #careisnotforced

"to mark the transfer of power from McFee to interim co-chiefs Warren Dreichel & Devin Laforce, which was followed by a reception in McFee’s honour." Seems to reflect poorly on the interim chiefs too. #Police www.theprogressreport.ca/exclusive_ep...

This story leaves out critical context. The issue is not that the UCP govt is merely funnelling interview requests from Alberta's Auditor General through a lawyer. The issue is that the lawyer or a senior ministry official must be present when civil servants are interviewed. 1

Edmonton has returned to near-record EMS dispatches for opioid poisoning. It's an unmitigated massacre of unhoused people. Police allied w/ "downtown business recovery" & developers in the most vulnerable neighbourhoods, plus proponents of Alberta Model bear responsibility. Again: it's a massacre.

fascism is the kicking in of a rotted door, and the dem party has been committed for the last 15 years to insisting that the door we can all see is rotten and falling off the hinges is actually fine and good and maybe the best door in the world

an interesting wrinkle to the Dodgy Contracts Scandal is the relationship between MHCare and outgoing EPS police chief and incoming deputy minister of executive council Dale McFee. MHCare was a title sponsor to Dale's "Safety In Our Cities Conference" last year.
