Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 14/09/2026Important Day 12 update on parasitic brain-controlling fungus absorbing life juices of an unfortunate fly: 1111
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 02/09/2026Can anyone tell me what is happening here. The fly’s legs are pointed in every direction as if it crash-landed on my pitcher plant. It has what appears to be mold growing from its abdomen, maybe sticking it to the lead. Is this cordyceps? 282
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 23/08/2026Also - Mark Oppenheimer, “Free Speech Union of South Africa”?? Here a taste of what they do if it’s not obvious: 070
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 23/08/2026Now run this list through an Epstein scanner. I spy Pinker and Krauss already! 412530
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 31/07/2026Any ideas on why the moderators of r/UCalgary would remove this story from the feed by two different posters two days running? breachmedia.ca/canadian-uni... 1258
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 31/07/2026Below is the list of academic institutions in order of onboarding to U of Toronto's Canadian Post-Secondary Emergency Managers Network while anti-genocide protests were beginning on campuses. Additional interested included UMontreal, Thompson Rivers, UWinnipeg. 1/ breachmedia.ca/canadian-uni... 3127
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 23/07/2026Media is treating Palestine-related news like people don’t care anymore. This is incorrect: people are more educated than ever about how pro-genocidal domestic repression shows up in policing and prosecution. It just needs a correct framing. When this happened in 2023 here’s what it looked like: 152
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 15/07/2026AND new announcement! @fiverfines.bsky.social is giving space for a reading from these very stories at their album release / tour launch show tomorrow at Sanctuary. Join us, and don’t mess around as this may sell out: www.tickettailor.com/events/nowad... 030
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 13/07/2026After the racist Canada First rally last September, I requested from HRP the video they recorded, along with use of force instructions, debrief records, and online surveillance records. They said no way and sent me forty black pages. 110
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 10/07/2026McConnell is fucking dead. Odds of surviving CPR are 1 in 5 *in a hospital* and drop precipitously over age 70. He’s dead. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... 040
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 03/07/2026The wildfire near Fort Simpson (townsite is on the island in the river, northeast quadrant): 030
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 25/06/2026AHS was ordered nine days ago to hand over UCP procurement documents to police. So naturally, Alberta has spent the last five days debating “fun police.” This — this is why “fun police”: 1198
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 13/06/2026The fact that you’re fixated on that instead of the thousands of children known to have died in forced labour camps should elicit silent self-reflection. That said, no they haven’t unearthed the 215 children, for good reasons. Same newspaper, actual news: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... 130
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 10/06/2026Alberta's Ministry of Health has a 466-page Integrated Health System Plan. I assumed it was bad so I FOIP'd for it. The government gave me one page of email and withheld all 466 pages of Plan. But now you know it's out there and people at Recovery Alberta have seen it – do with that what you will. 38449
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 03/06/2026At 9:30 MST, the Law Enforcement Review Board will hear the 1st challenge of the Calgary police chief’s dismissal of police violence complaints at the 2024 UofC protest. Annette Lengyel was in her 60s. BWC shows her head being struck with a police baton + other assaults. Mtg link 📧 lerb@gov.ab.ca 12314
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 02/06/2026This is what happens when I use voice-to-text on dog walks. As good a time as any to announce a big story coming — my first entirely in Nova Scotia, but recognizably Albertan. Subscribe and don’t miss it: drugdatadecoded.ca (Also note “Wiggles” is just a nickname of Iggy Pup. Embarrassing.) 2181
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 31/05/2026I loved this rundown of Alberta’s war on harm reduction by a Calgary-based Instagram news compiler doing great work on many AB topics: www.instagram.com/reel/DY3LmH0... 086
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 24/05/2026Highly recommended, out from Fernwood this month. Launch party on June 12 in Halifax too! Main thesis is that policing culture is a social movement and we need to start dealing with it as such. 2140
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 18/05/2026The officers’ names are reported by CP24 despite Toronto Police *outrageously* refusing to release them, citing “ongoing investigations.” I’ve been told one of them made $165k working for TPS last year (unverified but easily checked). 243
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 12/05/2026Thanks to all these folks who have donated to the legal fund - can’t tell you how appreciated it is. @michaellitwak.bsky.social @tomgoldsmith.bsky.social & the many anonymous donors. 🙏 ➡️ chuffed.org/project/1808... 0134
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 12/05/2026I went on X for a sec just to… uh… see, and boy am I glad I did that. 2141
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 07/05/2026Same story, three provinces, same cause: Each one signed on to the Alberta Recovery Model in 2024. Why do we accept eugenic public policy in 2026? 49250
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 06/05/2026I have to credit Jason Kenney for not being a “won’t someone think of the cops” guy wrt the elections data breach. Instead, he listed all the groups he spent 3.5 years undermining and attacking while in office: victims of domestic violence, journalists, activists, and public servants. Incredible. 24714
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 02/05/2026Watch for it. It started with the privacy commissioner’s press release and politicians keep amplifying it. 192
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 28/04/2026Announcement - Lethbridge! I'm joining Mark Brave Rock and SAGE Clan Patrol on May 12 at the Galt Museum for an event hosted by UofL. I'll give a talk titled "Supervised Consumption Site Closures: Creating Chaos to Justify Coercion." Please register here: uleth.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... 12317
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 25/04/20263. MLA Stephan is loudly opposed to any harm-reduction services. His constituency association president’s spouse told Turning Point’s board chair that its defunding was because it was operating a “de facto injection site,” which was never demonstrated. 141
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 25/04/20262. That drop-in has operated in the city since 1989. Its leadership believes a local MLA, Jason Stephan, triggered the surveillance of their agency through a provincial snitch line, Alberta Health Services inspections and fire code inspections. 140
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 17/04/2026This social disorder series is excruciating, even for CBC Calgary. 1101
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 09/04/2026Around this same time, Neufeld was conducting what amounts to an election campaign for the UCP that aligned with his anti-drug decrim stance: drugdatadecoded.ca/alberta-poli... A protoplasmic version of his “perceptions of safety” message from April 2023: 192
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 09/04/2026While I’m at it, here are the five most recent stories written by Alberta at Noon host Judy Aldous (who I have previously criticized for pro-government coverage of drug policy). Aldous has been at CBC Calgary since 2002 and by accounts I’ve heard has a ton of power there. 184
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 09/04/2026Three of the same journalist’s four most recent pieces: 193
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 09/04/2026Here’s how it was defined in a recent story by the same author. “Unwanted guest,” “suspicious person” and “suspicious vehicle” make up 3/4 of social disorder calls. “Disturbance” and “mental health concern” make up the rest. 2163
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 09/04/2026This man is not threatening or harming anybody. It says so. Perception of safety has taken over as safety itself in Calgary. But it’s unaccompanied by education of how people end up unhoused. CBC is inverting who is unsafe in this scenario. An editor asked for this story, then gave it a headline. 36518
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 09/04/2026How copaganda shows up in Calgary media as the provincial government and police lobby the public for acceptance of their drug jails. CBC Calgary showing its stripes today: 27726
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 07/04/2026I don’t know how this happened but… last night, Iggy came in from the yard wearing a wreath. 1423124142
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 06/04/2026Perfect example of Alberta NDP screwing up messaging to align instead with the UCP. Health care workers say overcrowding and weapons in ERs are the key source of danger, yet the solution is more cops (more weapons), not reducing crowds? ABNDP: not ready for an election. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... 23010
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 06/04/2026O’Leary’s data centre: 2 million lawnmowers that steal people’s work and turn it into mulch for the tar sands. Only in Alberta. 1143
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 31/03/2026Here’s the most recent example I could find, CBC’s defence reporter filling a long article with celebratory messaging about meeting the 2% NATO target and explainers of where all the money went without saying where it all came from. Closest it came: www.cbc.ca/news/politic... 280
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 26/03/2026I just updated my spreadsheet I've diligently kept since September 2021, tracking the initial vs updated fatality statistics each month. The government is still making updates back to November 2023 - two and a half years ago. Do. Not. Trust. The. Initial. Reports. 3/ 1268
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 26/03/2026The government just released its latest fatality data, which once again updated the total deaths for May 2024, this time to 100. That means the deaths were 37% higher than the government initially celebrated. This trick has worked again. And again. And again. Each time, media have bitten. 2/ 1204
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 21/03/2026For comparison, here is the study’s declaration of interests. It’s fraud, and it’s changing the course of history with the help of uncritical media. 175
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 21/03/2026Main issue with that RD News Now story and most other reporting on this study is they ignore the conflicts of interest. Yesterday's CBC piece mentioned them but didn't explain. Why focus narrowly on methodology when it's clear the authors had no business publishing on this? Media need to step up. 2216
Euan Thomson @drugdatadecoded.ca · 20/03/2026Also “RCMP visit” CBC seriously?? Which editor is writing these headlines. The globe went with this and they broke the story! 073
