Safe injection sites in Montreal: whaddaya think?

Posted by Margot / October 12, 2011

After a Supreme Court decision to keep a Vancouver safe injection site open, there might be grounds to start opening them in Quebec.

You might have heard Mike Finnerty's interview on the CBC Radio this morning, in which the radio host tried a number of times to get an U de M professor to name specific neighbourhoods where these sites would supposedly open. We all knew what he was getting at: what he really wanted to ask was: "Where are all the drug addicts in Montreal, and will opening a safe injection site in my neighbourhood be a lure for the city's drug dealers and crack addicts?"

What do you think, though? Is this a staunch case of NIMBY?
