MEDIA MISLEADING ABOUT INSITE

Re: RCMP Insite Report Disputed: Dec. 12

With a hot topic such as the supervised injection site, I think it's 
the media's responsibility to get the facts straight.

It is part of a harm reduction strategy.

There are no claims that the site makes injecting drugs safe.

By using the word "safe" instead of "supervised," you mislead readers 
and the public to the goal of this project!
