Thomas D. Embree 🇨🇦<p>As we begin to lose sight of Trudeau in the rearview mirror, his legacy is beginning to take shape. Drug liberalization and senate reform seem to be his biggest accomplishments. The senate in particular is no longer a rubber stamp, thanks to Trudeau.</p><p>We can also thank him for the proliferation of safe consumption sites and the rapid progress we've seen in harm reduction.

Thomas D. Embree 🇨🇦<p>This is amazing, but something needs to be done to increase uptake. However, it just goes to show how damaging criminalization of drug use is; instead of using safely, prisoners would rather risk death than risk further criminalization. </p><p>Too many people also believe prisoners "forfeit their rights" (they don't, by law).

Ned Yeung<p>The Alberta government has introduced the Compassionate Intervention Act, which enables mandatory addiction treatment and includes new facilities planned for Edmonton and Calgary.</p><p>"This bill presents challenges for physicians and patients. The current evidence does not support that the benefits of involuntary treatment outweigh the risks and costs. In addition, there are questions around medical ethics, human rights, social justice, the role of lawyers as gatekeepers to care and potential harms. Many individuals who use substances have experienced significant trauma, and involuntary treatment carries a real risk of re-traumatization.
