"Bring our loved ones home drug-free"? How is that going to happen -- through the use of increased criminalization and imprisonment? Dismal success to date with that strategy.

A nice example of disinformation on safer supply in action. A strong study did in fact show safer supply significantly reduced both overdose & all-cause mortality. It was peer-reviewed & published in one of the most rigorous medical journals. This hand-waving doesn’t negate that.

Adam, if you and the "six addiction physicians" who collaborated with you so convinced of your analysis, why not submit it for peer-review with @bmj_latest, rather than posting it on a niche blog?

Outside the new Yaletown OPS. How can this level of chaos be permitted in our city!!!! Is there no end?????
🧵 The moral panic about safer supply prescribing responsible for the shuttering or undermining of programs across the country is part of a larger arc of panics targeting poor people for survival. Recent piece w/ @GillianKolla KR & AG 1/2 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…
When you put Whitney's silencing together with its treatment of Taylor McNallie and Adora Nwofor to protect their own, and consider how CPS Commission has been accused of covering up bizarre CPS activities, the whole org begins to look like a violent cult. thetyee.ca/News/2023/03/0…
Whitney's proceeding today is momentous for Alberta. What's at stake? Whistleblower protection for allegations of illegal activity CPS appears to be covering up with a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) — which should be torn up when evidence of an illegal act is provided. ⬇️

People are dying from illicit fentanyl mixed with other drugs not safe supply. The conservatives, politicians and those rage farming are using this crisis to further criminalization and fuel more deaths. 1 in 2 young people (20-39) who died in Alberta, died from fentanyl.

I just want to note how striking it is to have police so forcefully pushing back on the misinformation & moral panic about diversion of prescribed opioids (esp. safer supply) from some conservative politicians, freelancer opinion writers, and addiction medicine providers

This isn't politics, it's religious fundamentalism. Coming from an anti-abortion warrior it shouldn't be surprising. We're not in an addictions crisis, no matter how hard the UCP pray for one. We're first and foremost in a preventable poisoning massacre.

Alberta is the playbook on how you triple deaths in two years. Deaths didn’t drop they climbed at an extreme rate.

@ZivoAdam Would love to see you publish your data in a peer reviewed journal!
@GillianKolla @bmj_latest i'd love to know how many of these six addiction physicians were on the alberta propaganda panel
@kwardvancouver @bmj_latest This is a fair point Karen, but addiction medicine doctors do read them. Or at least, they should...
@RyanMarino @bmj_latest Yeah, the fact that even the National Post won't publish some of his stuff really does speak volumes...
@PierrePoilievre 1935 article on effects of alcohol prohibition: "Bootlegging flourished. Speakeasies came into being. Liquor runners found booze a source of easy money. Drinkers made home brew. Liquor flowed freely. Alcohol produced in giant stills was used to spike near beer." Sound familiar?
@PierrePoilievre Criminalization doesn’t reduce drug use. Period. It doesn’t reduce rates of people who use drugs and it doesn’t increase rates of people getting into recovery. It doesn’t even reduce crime and doesn’t reduce homelessness, either. This is what political misinformation looks like.
"Bring our loved ones home drug-free"? How is that going to happen -- through the use of increased criminalization and imprisonment? Dismal success to date with that strategy.
Trudeau/NDP decriminalized public use of crack, heroin & fentanyl, which brought crime, chaos, drugs & disorder to our streets. Common sense Conservatives are calling for an emergency debate to end this radical policy and bring our loved ones home drug-free.

@GillianKolla @bmj_latest Not only is this the best reply, it’s a valid suggestion!
@GillianKolla @bmj_latest because none of his audiences read peer-reviewed journals qqq
@GillianKolla @bmj_latest Great question! I’d wager it’s cause he’s a liar and even his editors know it. He can’t even get past National Post editors; he’d never make it through peer review! themainlander.com/2024/03/23/ada…
And here’s the link to the study in question @bmj_latest, because evidence is actually important: bmj.com/content/384/bm…
A nice example of disinformation on safer supply in action. A strong study did in fact show safer supply significantly reduced both overdose & all-cause mortality. It was peer-reviewed & published in one of the most rigorous medical journals. This hand-waving doesn’t negate that.
The aggregate data shows that safer supply leads to no statistically significant reductions in morality — but researchers unethically reframed this data to deceptively inflate positive results. You can read my essay on this here: thehub.ca/2024-02-01/ada….
Adam, if you and the "six addiction physicians" who collaborated with you so convinced of your analysis, why not submit it for peer-review with @bmj_latest, rather than posting it on a niche blog?
