Powerful tribute to Alexandra de Kiewet, activist and founder of the Canadian Association for People who Use Drugs, with strong analysis of the public policy debates around opioids that shaped her life and work.
Alexandra de Kiewet knew both sides of Canada's opioids crisis. As an intervention worker, she saved lives and as a drug user, she cheated death countless times. But her life's work is far from over.

"The record number of children under-immunized and susceptible to measles shows the profound damage immunization systems have sustained during the COVID-19 pandemic."

We applaud this new federal Act removing mandatory minimum penalties for possession of controlled substances. It will lessen over-incarceration of Indigenous, Black and marginalized people. Good news for the health of offenders, their families and their communities. 👏
