—————————————————————–
North Americas only supervised site for injection drug users is
under attack, the Conservative government would like to have
Vancouver’s Insite closed on July 1st 2008. Insite is a
national leader of the harm reduction philosophy. Insite was
born in Vancouvers drug riddled downtown eastside in 2003 to
treat drug use as a medical problem, it aims to lesson the
dangers that addicts face by providing them clean facilities
and trained staff.
Insite has proven its worth by the decline in overdose deaths
in the downtown eastside and stabilization of HEP C and
HIV/AIDS infection rates. The City of Vancouver supports
Insite as do the businesses in the neighbourhoods Insite mostly
serves. It has been veiwed as a success.
The Steven Harper Conservative government views drug addiction
as a criminal problem and believes Insite should be shut down.
The basis of their position is rooted in politics and ideology
while over looking scientific research. For this reason
‘INSITE FOR COMMUNITY SAFETY’ has launched a national tour to
visit the offices of the Conservative Party members who are
directly responsible for the fate of Insite.
