👉 All this talk about forced recovery treatment is a red herring. Long🧵 (breakdown) I can’t understand “experts” who advocate for involuntary (FORCED) treatment. 1. The specific cohort mentioned in this @globeandmail op-ed (people who “lack capacity to make decisions for themselves”) is way too vague. That could be anyone! During the election, David Eby said the B.C. program will be for people with substance use disorder AND brain injuries. 2. But … why focus on the far downstream tactic of waiting until people are very sick or injured, then locking them up for unproven forced treatment? WE NEED TO PUT RESOURCES INTO PREVENTION! Let’s STOP preventable overdose-related brain injuries before they happen, instead of making plans to warehouse people AFTER they’re permanently injured! 3. The headline says involuntary treatment is “better than doing nothing.” WTAF? There is no province in Canada where “nothing” is being done to combat the toxic drug crisis! Some provinces are focused only on recovery treatment, while B.C. offers a full spectrum of programs and services … but no province is doing “nothing.” 4. The most crucial element in recovery treatment is addressing past trauma. The majority of people turn to drugs because of physical, sexual, verbal abuse; poverty; loneliness. Addressing that kind of trauma is HARD, and requires a LOT of trust. You can’t build that in forced treatment. 5. Which is why we need MORE VOLUNTARY TREATMENT! Why — when there are waiting lists for voluntary programs — are we even talking about forced treatment??!! We need more treatment models, more capacity, more transparency, and more data in recovery treatment programs that people WANT TO GO TO, and we need to make them more affordable. As the article says, there isn’t much research on the use of forced treatment … but what does exist isn’t promising. This is clearly not about helping people recover, it’s about locking them away out of sight. Let’s focus instead on upstream strategies that are evidence-based, and on building more capacity in our existing system.

@LiveWire_DK I think it's great for people downtown but the ramsay location had parking downtown doesn't

@cspotweet Living on the seventh floor of an apartment building across from two apartment buildings the sound reverberation is awful

@markusoff To go with the data, could you provide number of members that voted and number of members? I think that actually gives it more of the realistic look.

Peter Lougheed last faced one in 1984, after which there weren't any leadership reviews for a Tory premier until Klein's days (phew, said Don Getty)
1984's result was never released, but party officials called it an "overwhelming majority." Lougheed retired as preem in '85
English
90%+ leadership reviews: not as rare as you'd think.
98.2% - Rachel Notley, Alberta NDP, 2021
97.8% - Notley, NDP, 2016
97.5% - Danielle Smith, Wildrose, 2010
97% - Scott Moe, Sask Party, 2023
93% - Wab Kinew, Man NDP, 2021
91.5% - Smith, UCP, 2024
90.2% - Smith, Wildrose, 2013

We all face moments when things feel overwhelming, and that’s okay. Remember, you are not alone.

@snapthennap Exactly I really want to believe in people, but I am scared

@jen2sen I understand...there is nothing to like about it. I fear January 6th was just a small preview of what is coming.

Happy apocalypse eve!
No matter what happens tomorrow, I am fearful that there will be violence.

@marco_huigenbos @DuaneBratt Of 6000 UCP people that is not a clear consensus!

91.5% is a clear consensus on Danielle Smith by UCP members.
A clear mandate to pursue and implement the principles of this conservative party was given this weekend.
History was made with the 2024 UCP AGM.

We are at the point of idiocy in Alberta that the AMA have to correct not one, but two wrong comments by the premier today...
... having to police medical misinformation from those we pay tax dollars to oversee our healthcare system is BS.

@erinchrusch How are they allowed to state stuff like that? It's so not true!

Not that there isn't tons of research into why there is a drop off of participation in girls sports around puberty or anything. Or programs that are addressing the things that EVIDENCE shows are impacting the lack of participation. And none of it has to do with trans athletes.
The Breakdown@TheBreakdownAB
Well this is new… Today in question period, far right evangelical TBA MLA Chantelle de Jonge implied that the drop in participation in women’s sports is because of trans participation. Which Joseph Schow then backed up. (It’s not true obvs) #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

@ScribblersE @ChazSmithYYC @oct63chick @CalgaryFoodBank @TheBreakdownAB @BeTheChangeYYC @HarvestHillsYYC @JasonOnTheDrums @JasonPYYC @cityofcalgary @calgarydropin How do we protest this!!!

Hello everyone – I have some important news to share. Our valued collaboration with the @CalgaryFoodBank has come to an end, as they have new leadership and changed their strategic plan deciding to discontinue the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) established in 2020 with @BeTheChangeYYC, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting those experiencing homelessness in our community. Their food hampers were essential in supplementing our bagged lunch initiative.
👉 Each month, we provide assistance to over 1,500+ individuals. Where 30% express they will be sleeping outside on average.
With this partnership coming to a close, and due to the recent changes in their leadership and strategic direction, we are facing challenges in meeting the increasing need for prepackaged non-perishable food items like granola bars, soups, fruit cups, snacks. We have many hungry folks experiencing homelessness at night time who have no other food sources in desperate need.
If you're able to assist, we kindly ask you to consider making a donation. Your support will have a direct impact on those experiencing homelessness in our community.
Days, times & location in graphic below.

@ChazSmithYYC @oct63chick @CalgaryFoodBank @TheBreakdownAB @BeTheChangeYYC @HarvestHillsYYC @JasonOnTheDrums @JasonPYYC @cityofcalgary @calgarydropin What could possibly be the reason for doing this?
English
The @cityofcalgary had set up their “Extreme Weather Response” food access program through @calgarydropin re-distribution centre. This is where programs could access this vital resource.
The @CalgaryFoodBank has dropped that program, meaning that approx 30 programs have now been cut off from this vital resource. This includes @BeTheChangeYYC , @HarvestHillsYYC and approx 28 others. Although BeThechange MOU pre-dated this program Initiated by City of Calgary #YYCcc
This is a massive loss for the unhoused population. One that will surely cause ripples through our system. When approx 30 programs providing outreach services are cut off - there is no doubt the losses will mount. Not only for our unhoused, but also the at risk folks & newly housed who were also accessing our programs as a result. Folks in recovery. Folks struggling,
I cannot express - how deeply disappointed I am in this decision. Without any consultation from myself, nor others directly impacted as listed, I believe this to be a reckless and uncaring decision.

@amyckai What are words at this point? lol I can’t remember names of things and have to use descriptions until the person I am talking to can guess what I mean lol

I swear to god I am going to make pamphlets will all the major, minor, & possible symptoms of perimenopause/menopause to hand out to women. Because we are not told about these things & doctors don’t warn us or have these discussions. Why is it up to women to inform one another?

@TheBreakdownAB Curious what his qualifications for the job are? It can't just be the ability to wear two jackets at once?

Trudeau defends rules allowing foreigners to vote in Liberal nomination races even if they aren't permanent residents. "Expanding the pool is also a way to try to engage future voters – those too young to vote or who are not yet Canadian citizens," pre-hearing interview says.
