What’s Wrong With Rehab? The lack of accountability in the “Alberta Model” for dealing with drug use By Euan thomson March 1, 2024 A A A On a frigid February night in Edmonton, I’m downtown with 4B Harm Reduction. The street outreach conducted by this non-profit society is time-tested—scour the city’s forgotten corners for people who need support. On any given shift, they might respond to drug poisonings, frostbite, heatstroke, hunger, fatigue-induced psychosis or the many barriers to accessing shelter. Mostly 4B aims to keep hope alive despite society’s structural neglect. Tonight we’ve gathered in an underground LRT station passageway. Beside us, a long stretch of yellow fencing separates us from a lone electrical outlet, a rare treasure in public spaces. The outlet was recently deemed too popular among the city’s unhoused citizens—hence the fence. Through slurred speech, Brandon Shaw fawns over my toque, which reads “Hoot ’n’ Blow” beside an owl logo. I offer it as a trade for his, but he declines. Someone later explains Shaw was afraid he’d picked up lice in the shelters. He was protecting me.

True Spring...
A spring image from last year is featured in @albertaviews.bsky.social April 2025 issue. (Last year, I ran 1,919 km with a camera in a backpack.) Very nice having my #photography recognized in print. Consider supporting this #magazine!

#canadianmade #alberta #thankyou #yeg #yyc #art
This image is called 'Blossoming'. It was taken in a downtown park in Edmonton. I deliberately ran to the location to take this photo on spring Saturday. That was a long run there and back. 15 km. Worth it.
