Saving lives by expanding access to nasal naloxone Province investing $50 million to give people in B.C. better access to life-saving medication

β€œThe poisoned supply means anyone – whether they’re using for the first time or have used regularly – faces the risk of a toxic-drug poisoning,” @josieosborne.bsky.social says in this announcement today.

so why doesn't everyone have access to regulated drugs

do you think the other side is alienating people with think pieces about their turning point halftime show?

do you want to be right(eous) or do you want to organize to defeat the right? this is a lesson I had to learn! symbolic gestures could be somebody’s entry point into a lifetime of political education

it’s true that halftime performances aren’t revolutionary, and that a popstar won’t change material conditions, but the self-righteous rants towards the people who resonated with the symbolism and message of the halftime show won’t either 🫢🏽

I know I moved in September, but it’s not official until you get your library card.

young people and scapegoated Indigenous people. But I believe there’s a chance to rebuild it, with Indigenous rights, climate action, community care at the centre.

It’s time for unapologetic solutions to improve the lives of every day people and to believe whole heartedly we can win them!

You have until this Wednesday, January 28th to join the NDP and vote for @avilewis.ca as NDP leader.

Avi joins an exclusive list of politicians I have endorsed. I don’t take this lightly. The political system in this country has continuously let down

So much violence and horror to uphold the invisible lines across our lands. How can that make anyone feel safer?

There is no "immigration problem"

There is no migrant problem

There is no problem with illegals

There is no border crisis

Only a problem of the border and the machinery of death that upholds it.

Since so many people are fangirling over Carney's supposed "historic" speech in Davos, I want to offer an alternative reading.

This is not left cynicism, but a sober reading of imperial positioning in this moment.

1) Carney squarely positioned Canada as a middle power.

Equipment issue led to excessive LNG Canada flaring, docs reveal | The Narwhal LNG Canada delayed reporting β€˜integrity issue’ to regulators and never fully informed the public, while locals raised concerns about noise, smoke and emissions

LNG Canada has known there was an issue with its flaring equipment for over a year. While locals raised concerns about noise, smoke and emissions, until now, they didn’t have answers. The Narwhal reviewed more than 2,000 pages of documents for this story: thenarwhal.ca/lng-canada-f... #bcpoli
