Saskatchewan, which is also under a conservative government, is open to further violence against substance users.
Conservativism is an ideology of self-importance that rejects science and compassion. It poses an existential threat to Canadian society.

Saskatchewan is "considering involuntary addiction treatment centres as in [.] Alberta, where Premier Danielle Smith [.] plans to spend $180 million [.] to build two such centres."
"[T]reatment only works when it is voluntary, accessible and rooted in evidence-based care."

“The province says it's also considering involuntary addiction treatment centres as in neighbouring Alberta…” As always, I’m curious to see the evidence underlying the proposed changes. Afaik, punitive approaches to retrieving child support are also unsuccessful. #yxe #addiction #homelessness

SIMFC is running one of the #yxe warmup locations. If you have any items that would help folks stay warm, cozy, and safe over Christmas or beyond, take them down (168 Wall Street). You can make a difference for someone without stable shelter this holiday ♥️

It looks as though four hundred of our neighbors could be spending Christmas at a warming shelter. Even though it will be "nice" this week, that's really only for those of us with stable shelter. Are there small ways you could help this holiday? Someone out there really needs it. #yxe
