In regards to safe-injection sites, illusions and delusions are beautiful things when we don't want to see the truth. A televised debate with Campbell on his misguided harm-reduction initiatives would be a dream come true for me. Come on, Larry, let's see what you've got. I don't think Campbell would debate, because I suspect all this new rhetoric is a setup for the announcement of a smoking room for crack cocaine. I hope that, with the civic election coming soon, someone will challenge all this nonsense and huge waste of taxpayers' money. Barry Joneson, Burnaby - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
