DRUG TALK

I was disturbed by the language of Shelly Williams when talking about
safe injection sites. "This is for people who are injecting substances
in unsafe environments, and providing them the opportunity to inject
in a safe place where we can deepen relationships." She leaves out
that the substances are illegal, and it has a $2.3 M annual cost. Food
bank demand is surging, kids are going to school hungry and our
government is coddling drug addicts?
