Standing with thousands of Albertans today to demand change. #EnoughIsEnoughUCP

If these death tolls don’t bother the UCP, surely the structural racism must! The trend of opioid deaths in our province is shocking and cannot continue to go unaddressed.

There’s been no improvements under the UCP’s abstinence-only approach, so what is their plan now?! #AbLeg

We need recovery beds but we need the full range of expert-recommended, proven treatment options for people with addictions. When I guided my patients with multiple sclerosis to select their treatment options I would never have said there is only one choice. Different treatments

This report - released quietly yesterday - reveals First Nations Peoples accounted for 24% of total opioid poisoning deaths in 2022.

They represent just 3.4% of Alberta's population.

My heart aches for the families in mourning.

Perhaps if the invitation began with ‘we apologize for all the de-humanizing and discriminatory rhetoric our leadership has cynically used to politic with over the last 12 months at the acknowledged expense of your sense of safety and security in your own province…’ they might

How can the Rosebud Racetrack project be permitted with so many red flags? I asked the Minister, how can a project with abundant negative environmental, economic, and local impacts can even be permitted! 🌍💬 #ProtectOurEnvironment #Ableg #SavetheRosebud

“You may not join our celebrations in June when you plan to attack us in September” 👏

That’s the message from a number of Alberta Pride organizations to Premier Danielle Smith.

We stand with these prides as they take a stand against the UCP’s planned anti-trans policies.

“We just need to take a multi-pronged approach that has all of those kinds of pillars around prevention and early intervention, harm reduction and recovery and treatment.” #ableg #ymm

Ministers LaGrange and Nixon were aware of the unacceptable care provided by Contentment Social Services two months before the public learned of Motel Medicine, where vulnerable Albertans were being cared for in motels instead of proper facilities.

Rather than addressing inflation and actually helping Albertans, Danielle and the UCP are spending their time and energy consolidating power and eroding democracy.

🎂Congratulations on your 40th anniversary Simon House Recovery Centre! Amazing to see what you have accomplished in 40 years. Thank you for inviting us to celebrate.

Highest increases in deaths and worst year ever for drug poisoning in #AB where your kind of policies are already implemented.
How do you explain that Pierre Poilievre?
Ps: still waiting to hear back re our meeting!

Opiod poisoning deaths have tripled since 2019 when the UCP were elected. 1867 Albertans died in 2023. Most deaths ever. The Alberta Recovery Model is failing and people are dying because of the UCP obstinacy. #harmreduction #ableg #momsstoptheharm #canpoli #ahs

The UCP’s “Alberta Model” is full of holes.

After 5 years & millions spent on their ideological pursuits, 3x as many of our friends, family & neighbors are dying.

They deserve & the UCP must do better. #ableg

For all the UCP’s investment in the Alberta Recovery Model, we have yet to see any substantial results in preventing deaths. We need to do more. We need to do better. We need harm reduction services and resources alongside treatment and recovery. #ableg #yyc #yeg #yql

When will the data for opioid deaths form December be released to the public? Albertans have a right to know if the UCP’s policies are working or not. First, the minister said it’s not up to him. Then he said he’ll release them as soon as he has them. Which one is it? #ableg
