"Since opening its doors in 2003, Insite has been a safe, health-focused place where people inject drugs
...
Vancouver Coastal Health and PHS Community Services Society work together to provide a comprehensive support network at InSite, including a front line team of nurses, counsellors, mental health workers and peer support workers.
InSite has 12 injection booths where clients inject pre-obtained illicit drugs under the supervision of nurses and health care staff."

the idea is to create a safe environment and humane conditions for addicts to "shoot up"...all those dirty needles and overdoses were just too much....wait....it appears that a clean booth and clean needles really are not the best ways to treat addiction
"A 46-year-old chronic drug user has died in the housing facility attached to the city's supervised drug injection site on East Hastings Street"

who would have guessed???
Nevertheless, most proponents agree that +$3 million is a cost effective way to keep the local community of drug addicts in good health.
This seems antithetical to any idea of progress in our modern times and even exceeds the bounds of being liberal...pushing more into the realm of "sucker"
agree?
