You have to be alive to recover & recovery rarely means abstinence.

What a horrible, awful and incorrect thing to say. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Supervised Consumption Sites save lives.

Harm reduction IS treatment. Cutting SCS kills people.

This is Jason Kenney ignoring the substantial evidence that this type of harm reduction saves lives AND money. Trying to spin the death of Albertans and increased healthcare costs as "real leadership" is as laughable as it is disgusting. We're not stupid. #ableg #harmreduction

I don't normally swear (on Social Media...IRL, all the time 😳) - but I 100% agree with @AB_MD_WarRoom. Lying sacks of shit, indeed. Stop killing people, @jkenney.

From a Government report released quietly on Friday. The rate of opioid overdose deaths among First Nations people is more than seven times that of the non-First Nations population.
This is a crisis that warrants immediate action from the Government. #ableg

We use harm reduction in our daily lives instead of engaging in treatment/abstinence.
Why should harm reduction with opioid use be viewed any differently?

🧵A THREAD 🧵
1) I've been doing harm reduction work for 15 years and I've learned a few lessons about how to talk about it with people who aren't quite there yet.
I presented on this a few years ago and I'm going to share my slides and talking points here with you today -

I don’t consume drugs.
I’ve never injected drugs. I’ve never smoked drugs. I’ve never swallowed drugs. I’ve never had a cigarette or a beer. Heck, I’ve never had a drop of alcohol. I’ve never even drank a single cup of coffee.

🤬 Seriously. @jkenney & the UCP, your policy on Supervised Consumption Sites (i.e. shut them down) is neither kind nor fiscally responsible. #LosingLovesWastingMoney

"2020: More AB died of overdose than COVID
Evidence shows harm-reduction (safe consumption sites (SCS), naloxone, etc) saves lives, prevents disease, connects to care, helps social stability & reduces health care costs"

Well said, @ginettafammed & Dr. Houston. Invest now, or pay more later.

#JasonKenneyTaughtMe to trust my instincts. Bad people are bad people.
He also taught me how quickly public institutions and networks that took years to create can be damaged and/or destroyed.
