🚨PAPER RELEASE - LINK BELOW🚨 We present our third academic paper, a dive into the now-shuttered Compassion Club and Fulfillment Centre. What once stood as a safe haven, offering dignity and hope in a society bent on punishment, has been crushed under legal pressures and political scorn. In this paper you will see the Compassion Club wasn’t just about providing regulated access to substances. It was a place of resistance, where people could access community-regulated substances, avoid overdose, and reclaim some control over their lives. It was about more than health; it was about dignity, self-worth, and recognizing the humanity of those society so easily writes off. It was a rare space of connection, belonging, and purpose. But this research isn’t just a look back—it’s a call to action. It challenges the failed drug policies that led to this point and asks us to imagine a different future. It argues that compassion isn’t just a kind gesture; it’s a powerful force for change, one that can reshape lives and society. True care means recognizing that everyone, no matter their struggles, deserves respect and dignity. While the closure of the Compassion Club is a deep loss, it’s not the end of the story. This paper is a reminder of what was possible and a push to keep fighting for a better way—a world where care, not punishment, is the norm, and where we show up for one another when it matters most. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Another disruption inside Queens Park today over Bill 223 - the anti-CTS Bill. #DropTheAct One consumption service run by a well-respected charity in Waterloo has reduced 911 EMS calls by 90% this year. And no deaths. #YesToCTS

Every municipality needs to start mass casualty planning now to stop deaths and respond. Every person should know how to respond to an overdose. The toxic drug death crisis is raging on. One site yesterday in Toronto that’s slated to close, reversed 8 ODs.

Our Statement on Bill 223: Many fears and tears, near and far tonight, as people try to comprehend the callous disregard for life, liberty, and security of person deliberately disregarded by the Ontario's Ford government at Queen's Park today. #YesToCTS

Got published in @ijdrugpolicy for my research on the punitive, carceral practices of OTPs and their effects on women’s bodily agency This is a push to ABOLISH OTPs. Methadone belongs in a pharmacy free of urine tests and supervised dosing #freemethadone authors.elsevier.com/c/1k7Vd3PErogu…

A Red Deer man living with substance use disorder has filed a legal action against Alberta for its plan to close the city’s only supervised drug-use site, a move he says violates his Charter-protected rights and will put his life at risk. #ableg #abpoli theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
