Bruce doesnt even know that supervised heroin use is not the same thing as safer supply even though this is a really basic and important distinction.

"Gentle reminder that most of the research Dr. Sereda refers to falls into two buckets: (1) "We asked drug users if they liked getting free drugs and they said yes and promised they weren't abusing the system to make money so I guess we objectively know safer supply works."

Some might argue that they benefitted from all the supports not the free addictive drugs but lalala safer supply works lalala.""

"Your colleague fraudulently listed you as one of the three founding directors of his nonprofit and then received a multi-million dollar federal grant to launch a safer supply program. Considering that you pioneered safer supply in Canada it is very possible that the inclusion of your name on the board impacted the decision to provide funding. This is an organization that also illegally failed to submit its financial documents to the government thereby denying the public access to this information. Asking you to clarify your relationship with that colleague is not a "witch hunt." If you don't"

"Qualitative research can be useful as peripheral evidence for an intervention but these studies constitute the bulk of the evidence base for safer supply (with much of the rest of the base being self-reported survey data). So youre relying on the weakest type of publishable evidence while exclusively interviewing only one stakeholder type and that stakeholder type happens to be incredibly unreliable to begin with and has a strong interest in positively assessing this program (because yes many drug users lie and will say or do anything to secure their access to drugs). It doesnt take a genius"

"Thats assuming that clients actually consume their safer supply but according to 25+ addiction medicine practitioners (plus former drug users current drug dealers and Vancouver-area youth) the majority of hydromorphone tablets are being diverted to the black market.

"I deliberately chose Turkey because Byzantium was for most history a peripheral power centre in the Roman empire much like how Novgorod was peripheral to Kyiv. @ZivoAdam Hmm critiquing is fine but this: 'Ukrainians are actually Russians is as nonsensical as claiming that Italians are actually Turkish since both nations once belonged to the Roman Empire'. Turks conquered parts of the Roman (Byzantine) empire not the other way around. @ZivoAdam Hmm critiquing is fine but this: 'Ukrainians are actually Russians is as nonsensical as claiming that Italians are actually Turkish since both nations"

"It's an imperfect comparison as the Turks slowly displaced Byzantium's original population but I wanted to avoid using a comparison that analogized Moscow to Rome (as the equivalent to Rome in this case was Kyiv)"

"So a Liberal senator introduces a bill that would require porn sites to verify that users are 18+. Poilievre confirms that his government supports age verification in principle andhis office later confirms that they are against digital IDs in this context. The Liberals then nakedly lie and claim that the Conservatives want to create digital IDs for porn and receive supportive coverage from allied media. Okay cool"
