SAFE INJECTION SITES DENOUNCED AND SUPPORTED

Every case of AIDS prevented saves the Canadian taxpayer $250-million.
As a certificant of the International Society of Addiction Medicine, I
find the New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, the Vancouver
Police Department, the B.C. provincial Liberal party, Vancouver Mayor
Sam Sullivan, the medical officers of health and the B.C. Centre for
Excellence rather more reliable sources than the Ottawa RCMP.

As a Canadian, a Conservative and a physician, I trust that Messrs.
Harper and Clement look to logic and science rather than embarking on
a futile American-style approach to drug addiction.

As the great journalist H.L. Mencken said: "For every complex problem
there is a solution that is simple, neat and wrong."
