Because of the research work I was involved in whilst in Hali, I was able to talk with Philip Owen the former mayor of Vancouver who fought for the safe injection site. Incidentally, the shop owners in nearby gastown who were against the site before it opened - including the leader of the attacks to get it shut - did a complete 180 turn soon after it opened.
Safe injection sites and needle exchanges are extremely important to reduce the spread of disease and to make things as safe as possible for people who are using. The conservative party is a joke and filled with morons. The fact that he actually said that it is "harm addition" shows that he has no understanding of the philosophy of harm reduction.
