NEEDLE MESS

Re: The needle hunter, Aug. 29.

If Ottawa had an INSITE safe-injection facility like the one in Vancouver, we would have a lot less of this kind of mess. The RCMP even admitted that they were wrong and that INSITE is actually a benefit to the community -- or they would have, if the ideological federal government hadn't prevented them from doing so.

In spite of the evidence of how safe-injection sites reduce crime, costs, death, and the spread of diseases, our police chief and city counsel will work hard to keep INSITE out of our community.
