This is a clarifying moment. Under any other circumstance, this would be globally denounced as an atrocity of the highest order. But Palestinian lives are worthless in the eyes of western governments. No crime against them - no matter how abhorrent - matters at all.

We did it! Supervised Consumption Sites have been granted an injunction, allowing us to stay open until the court makes its final decision. This is a huge step forward in our fight to protect these life-saving services. Your voices and support made this possible! Thank you!💙

“Because it is likely that many people will not travel far distances, we project that a large proportion of people – almost 50 per cent in some scenarios – will lose access." -@MAP_Health study #cdnhealth

"It's a reasonable extrapolation to say that if we had more sites throughout the city, and, particularly, close to where people are using drugs, that it would help decrease the overdose rate," @ambayoumi (@odprn_research @MAP_Health) tells @KunalChaudhary_ tvo.org/article/there-…

And @ODPRN_Research !

Great to work with @Tara_Gomes and others not on this platform on this report. Thanks to @MAP_Health, @UnityHealthTO and @ICESOntario for support.

@ONgov, the Government of Ontario, has announced that it plans to close #SupervisedConsumptionSites. What can we expect if this happens? We studied this for Toronto in a new report released today. maphealth.ca/effects-of-clo… 🧵
