The Evolution of Democracy as an Entropic, Fragile, Emergent System
This paper develops a systems theoretical account of democracy as an emergent equilibrium ecosystem within complex evolutionary adaptive systems rather than a purely institutional or normative construct. Drawing on general systems and complexity theories, it argues that democratic stability depends on maintaining balance across economic, security, and informational domains. The Industrial Revolution illustrates how technological and economic tran…
Monarchy as a Mega-Influencer
Debates about the relevance of constitutional monarchies have intensified in recent years, with critics questioning their democratic legitimacy, symbolic role, and public cost. This study moves beyond normative debates by evaluating the monarchy through a measurable economic framework grounded in the artificial intelligence (AI) driven influencer economy via mass and social media. Specifically, it analyzes the Royal Family’s presence on YouTube, …
AI Revolution and Warfare
The war in Ukraine and Israel's successful operations have demonstrated the apparent shift in military operations, strategic defence spending, and innovations. Drawing parallels to the industrial revolution and how it slowly transferred military procurement, training, and deployment, the current study also highlights the AI revolution and the rapid transformation needed to ensure nations have the resources, training, procurement, and planning to …
A major stakeholder in the lobbying efforts
PWUDs' role as significant stakeholders is often overlooked; however, this research has highlighted that the PWUDs have the capacity and potential to influence, shape, and change public opinion through engagement with news media. Therefore, government, cities, health agencies, and policymakers must engage with PWUDs and establish similar organizations, such as VANDU, to promote harm reduction, human rights, and treatment during an overdose crisis…
Criminal Code Reform During the AI Revolution to Counter the New Form of Colonialism of Indigenous Peoples
The rapid and dramatic transformation in society, economy, and media that has been observed during the initial stage of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution has already begun. The rise in misinformation, disinformation, conspiracy theories, and lies has affected many nations. This is evident in English-speaking countries with histories of colonialism. The increase in denial of the flourishing culture of Indigenous Nations before immigrant …
A new innovative method to evaluate public news broadcasting
As the first AI revolution rapidly eliminates numerous journalism, reporting, and news writing jobs, the debate over taxpayer-funded public broadcasting entities in some countries gains momentum. The potential threats posed by AI-generated content, unregulated or self-regulated social media, and radical social networking sites to public opinion and election results are concerning. This study presents the first cost-benefit analysis of publicly fu…
National Security During the First AI Revolution
The exponential growth of social media, the dark web, cryptocurrency, international cartels, cyber attacks, the collaboration of terrorist organizations, the rise of self‐regulated social media, and the complexities of money laundering are threats to Canadian democracy, the economy, and the rule of law. The global threat environment in an increasingly interconnected world indicates that Canadian security will be increasingly determined and shaped…
The overdose epidemic
Two decades of activism, social justice, and public health civil disobedience
Covid-19 and people who use drugs
Refugees, asylum seekers and Covid-19
Covid-19 and sex workers
A call for action for mental health intervention and support for refugees who escape internal conflicts or war
A new innovative method to measure the demographic representation of scientists via Google Scholar
Many countries around the globe have seen increases in the enrollment of female and visible minorities in postsecondary education. Therefore, it is critical to evaluate whether recent demographic changes at the postsecondary institution have translated to employment opportunities in scientific fields for women and previously underrepresented groups. Instead of relying on algorithm indices, surveys, or anonymous census data, this study is the firs…
Back to the core
The synthetic opioid epidemic and the need for mental health support for first responders who intervene in overdose cases
Building New Approaches to Risk Reduction With Social Networks and People Who Smoke Illegal Drugs From Participatory Community-Based Research
Background: Global cases of overdose-related deaths attributed to synthetic opioids are reaching epidemic proportion in many jurisdictions. While the main focus of health agencies and the different levels of government has been to combat the cases linked to injection drug use, the deaths attributed to smoking illegal drugs have not gained the same attention. Moreover, little attention has been given to the role of people with past or current expe…
Missing the trends in the fentanyl overdose crisis
Exploring the role of an unsanctioned, supervised peer driven injection facility in reducing HIV and hepatitis C infections in people that require assistance during injection
Supervised consumption rooms or supervised injection facilities (SIFs) are venues that have reduced the risk of needle sharing and deaths caused by drug overdose among people who inject drugs (PWID). As a result of such a decline in the mortality rate, numerous studies have been able to illustrate its cost-effectiveness. However, studies have neglected to examine the same phenomena for unsanctioned SIFs that are run by peer drug users and provide…
Is there a role for potential supervised injection facilities in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Supervised injection facilities (SIFs) are medical facilities where injection drug users can inject their illicit drugs under the supervision of nurses and doctors. Currently, there is only one legal SIF in operation in North America and it has been operating in Vancouver, British Columbia for over a decade. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the current facility needs to be expanded to other locations in British Columbia, Canada. …
‘The biggest mistake God ever made was to create junkies’
Despite the existence of prevention programmes in Montreal, Canada, injection drug users (IDUs) continue to share their injection drug equipment. This practice has led to an increase in the incidences of HIV and Hepatitis C (HCV) among IDUs since 2003. The present study was conducted to explore factors contributing to the increased risks of this morbidity. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted as drug users were actively involved …

Science versus politics
A Little Heaven in Hell
While numerous studies on InSite (North America's first supervised injection facility) have been published in leading international journals, little attention has been given to the facility's role in the local culture of drug use and its transformation of place in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. This study analyzes the transformative role of InSite in the lives of injection drug users (IDUs). Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted w…
The Point of Diminishing Returns
North America’s only government-sanctioned supervised injection facility, Insite, has been subjected to substantial research. This research has found evidence for numerous public health benefits: decreased risky injection behaviour, decreased fatal overdoses, increased probability of initiating and maintaining addiction treatment, and cost-effectiveness. To date, a small number of costing studies have emerged with none of them investigating Insit…
