Saskatchewan, which is also under a conservative government, is open to further violence against substance users.
Conservativism is an ideology of self-importance that rejects science and compassion. It poses an existential threat to Canadian society.

“The province says it's also considering involuntary addiction treatment centres as in neighbouring Alberta…” As always, I’m curious to see the evidence underlying the proposed changes. Afaik, punitive approaches to retrieving child support are also unsuccessful. #yxe #addiction #homelessness
I had never heard of Bridge City Warmth before. Is anyone else familiar? #yxe
Winter clothing drives are on. You probably have items at home that could help someone make it through these last weeks of winter! ♥️ #yxe @simfc.bsky.social
Really got her this time.
Came here to say this 🤭
Lol. It might help folks make the connection between this harm reduction and what’s already in place for alcohol 🙄
Oh man, Ginger. Calls with Lily have come to be one of my favourite features. That’s how they getcha, I guess 🤭
Does anyone else live to make Duolingo Lily smile on video calls? It’s silly and delightful.
As part of the City of Saskatoon's Cold Weather Strategy, SIMFC will serve as an evening warm-up location.
We will be open for both men and women from 6pm to 11pm daily until March 31st.

There’s definitely a public health angle. E.g. You can’t contract infections from clean equipment. Avoiding these infections can be life-changing for addicts. For the public, it’s cheaper to provide clean equipment than to manage life-long illness.
Found her on Twitter. Following. Thanks!
Sorry to hear this, friend 😢
Addicts can’t find recovery if they die of an overdose or poisoned supply first. Harm reduction works. Everyone deserves a chance. #yqr
A much younger Colleen sits with her little white cat on her lap. They regard one another with obvious affection.
Once again dreamed of my little cat who passed over 10 years ago. Those little dream moments with her are so cozy and magical.
SIMFC is running one of the #yxe warmup locations. If you have any items that would help folks stay warm, cozy, and safe over Christmas or beyond, take them down (168 Wall Street). You can make a difference for someone without stable shelter this holiday ♥️
It looks as though four hundred of our neighbors could be spending Christmas at a warming shelter. Even though it will be "nice" this week, that's really only for those of us with stable shelter. Are there small ways you could help this holiday? Someone out there really needs it. #yxe
A cat sees a Christmas tree for the first time. Her eyes are wide and you can see the lights reflected back in them.
Me at Justice tonight in Paris.
To be fair, though, Neil Peart would also kick ass.
Holy hell! See you tomorrow!
Has anyone ever proposed a concrete plan for _where_ they want this shelter relocated? Or is it just “anywhere but here, up to and including industrial”? #yxe
