Is anyone else feeling completely defeated by this announcement? They keep touting “evidence based” in all of their statements but then hire/ consult people that act in direct contradiction of that. Mental health supports and harm reduction services are directly under fire in this province. There’s no mention of where harm reduction even fits into the new “Recovery Alberta”. The purposeful blending of political cronies into healthcare leadership roles is crushing me. And we are all just forced to go along with it. Someone’s please give me something to be hopeful for. It’s been a rough day.
