As usual, the UCP make decisions and pontify those things they know nothing about. Poor use of TAX PAYER funds that won't result in changes, instead little regard for life or autonomy lacking in addressing the trauma that fuels addiction.

Fuck Smith. My wife (a nurse) volunteers at Insite (first safe injection site in North America). She has literally saved people’s lives from accidental overdose.
I also do volunteer work with addicts.
Sick of these assholes with zero knowledge making policy that won’t help addicts.
