10 provinces have now cancelled their immigration detention agreements. Instead of community-based alternatives, the federal government is doubling down on its harmful, rights-violating immigration detention system.

.Marc Miller ᐅᑭᒫᐃᐧᐅᓃᐸᐄᐧᐤᐃᔨᐣ describing immigration detainees as 'high-risk' is scaremongering & false, most are held on flight risk. That they have 'severe mental health problems' is ableist & cruel: detention harms mental health.

This is a shameful change in policy. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

Here’s another problem I have with the single-solution theory of a “recovery-oriented system of care.”

It means you’re waiting until someone has an “addiction”before you help them.

There are double that number (or more) of people who are at risk of injury or death from fentanyl…

Turns out the Pathways Alliance - the 6 major oilsands companies - has purchased 100s of google keyword searches to direct those curious about climate change to their garbage misinformation content.

Oilsands disinformation is worse than you think nationalobserver.com/2024/04/12/opi…

HEY KIDS‼️

This one’s for you.

While the parents (politicians) fight over strategies for addressing the toxic drug crisis, eg:
➡️ Tough love or keeping you alive?
➡️ Are there actual harms from Rx safer supply drugs or is that a story made up by an opinion writer?

Burnaby's excellent mayor Mike Hurley:

'When senior levels of govt keep throwing out that the more houses we build, the cheaper they'll get, I think they've been listening to developers too much. I haven't seen anywhere in the world where that's actually true.'

🆘We cannot prevent homelessness with status quo policy.

From '18 - '23, the CRHC added 129 non-market homes per yr. It forecasts 155 annually to '28.

Policy is 20% of non-market homes affordable to low-income.

253 low-income homes added & thousands lost to rent increases.🆘

“We as people have a choice on how we’re going to view this…

“We can either support people or we can punish people. But punishing people has never worked out in favour for people to get better in our society.”

the 'cruel joke' is Pierre Poilievre pointing to a sign outside a Nanaimo gas station that has gas over $2.00 a litre, and blaming the higher price on a 3 cent increase in the carbon tax...meanwhile, the price has gone up more than 30 cents, while tax has remained stable
