Colleges, whose goal is to protect the public, must push back against political interference in health professions.
Silence is complicity.
Their lack of action on this overstep by politicians shows they don't see people who use drugs as the public.

Despite Alberta's courts affirming university actions must respect charter rights, @UCalgary & @UAlberta police used tear gas and batons to dismantle peaceful protests.
The legality of such forceful measures is now under scrutiny.

🇵🇸| “Hind died!!!!!!!!”
-Bisan’s recent video while under the bombing in Rafah. 🇵🇸🇵🇸💔💔
Bisan is right. If Hind was not a Palestinian child and stuck anywhere else in this fcked world, whole armies would jump to save her. But because Hind Rajab is Palestinian, she was murdered while the ENTIRE WORLD heard her phone call for help. Fck this world. 🇵🇸💔
