To be clear, the study Doug Ford cited today to justify his (ill-advised) decision to close supervised consumption sites in Ontario is not from the University of Alberta. It's from an Alberta government crown corporation.

I’m so mad. Our voting line is over 2.5 hours long. People are leaving. Parents don’t have childcare during the strike. Kids can’t wait that long. Check on your neighbours. Offer childcare. Bring an extra camping chair and toque and water for someone in line. #yyc #electionyyc

Every public health expert - “We need to reduce barriers to entry for vaccines and increase availability!” UCP - “So you’re saying we should open up a month and a half window to rebook vaccines for a year from now?” Experts - *Sob uncontrollably* #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

In the last month, Edmonton had its highest, third-highest and fifth-highest EMS dispatches for opioid poisonings on record. EMS dispatches correlate closely with deaths. Saskatoon is going through the same, despite SK adopting the "Alberta model." You can't fix a poisoned supply w/ treatment. 1/
Graph showing EMS dispatches for opioid poisonings from late 2022 to present. There are two sharp spikes in dispatches – one in mid-2023 and the other beginning in late 2024 and carrying into March 2025.

Tl;dr: AHS CEO did her job to ensure that AHS was awarding contracts appropriately, discovered that the AB govt was likely giving contracts to their hockey box friends with the fake Tylenol and they fired her to keep it quiet.

Vaccine misinformation has been SO normalized. Need scientific community to speak up (now & often) about what the body of evidence actually says! We can't let sanewashing & the middle ground fallacy win! My take (with evidence): healthydebate.ca/2024/09/topi...

Politics and vaccine misinformation: A horrifyingly bad mix - Healthy Debate
Antivaccine beliefs reside most often on the political right. We must confront this reality and devise evidence-informed strategies to counter this trend.
