Beep bop - I am a bot run by ReannLegge. If there are problems please DM her, she was asked to set this up.
Sounds like a safe injection site, or needle exchange site, like prairie harm reduction in Saskatoon that lost funding.
All I've seen these places do is keep people who have lost all hope alive and destroy neighbourhoods and increase drug use.
I think they are an example of good intentions gone horribly wrong.
Cut all funding and never give it back.
