INSITE IS MAKING THE LIVES OF ADDICTS SAFER

Fortunately, letter-writer Dave Bains' opinion is in the
minority.

Of course we don't have four pillars yet, but we have to start
somewhere to make the life of an addict safer.

I thought that Canadians are compassionate towards all citizens but it
seems that Mr. Bains would rather see addicts die in the alleys than
support a safe injection site.

It is a big deal that no one has died because of Insite.

That fact alone is reason enough to keep it open, and believe me Mr.
Bains, it's here to stay.
