Supervised Injection Sites and The Latest Supreme Court Decision

This week we talked with Rob Boyd director of the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre's Oasis program. The Sandy Hill Community Health Centre provides medical and social services for people living with HIV and/or hepatitis C, and who encounter barriers to services because they use street drugs, have a mental illness, are homeless or are involved in the sex trade. The Centre is also in the process of conducting community consultations in support of an application to operate a supervised injection site in Ottawa. As you may expect there has been some controversy about the proposed injection site - but Rob breaks it down and makes a very compelling case. So.... something happened with the audio of the last 10 minutes of our interview with Rob. Not sure what - maybe when the Mail Chip money starts rolling in we can do better. We also chat about the latest Supreme Court case striking down a Conservative minimum sentence for drug trafficking. Yep - another cruel and unusual law bites the dust.
