In 🇨🇦 and 🇺🇸, vast time, energy, and financial resources are used to prevent organized crime from trafficking drugs that contribute to disease and death. Yet, both countries profit (in the billions) from the sale of alcohol, tobacco, and (some) pharmaceuticals that contribute to disease and death. 😵‍💫

Yes!
Had a Black student tell me after class that he is so excited to take my course because he hasn’t had a Black professor in 3 years.

Our presence will ALWAYS matter ✨

“Ontario Provincial Police wrapped up their annual roadside campaign to reduce drunk driving this week, which culminated in hundreds of charges” (Lourenco, 2025, para. 1).
Looks like harm reduction to me. #alcohol #harmreduction

In 🇨🇦, we don’t invest enough resources into the type of universal mental healthcare necessary to address the existing mental health crisis. Accessible, culturally competent, high-quality, and timely mental healthcare is not an option for most. Privatizing mental healthcare was a mistake from day 1.

The province is obligated to provided healthcare to all citizens, even those living with addiction. Taking away supervised consumption services is like taking away the emergency department for this population. So much for a 'recovery-oriented system of care.' #ableg
