NEW: A group of doctors recently risked violent arrest to open unsanctioned safe drug consumption sites outside of their own hospitals. We’re not used to seeing bold activism from doctors, but in the face of anti-science populism, some are embracing that role: www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Doctors and government are clashing over this measure that saves lives. Whose side is science on?
An unsanctioned overdose prevention site is one way some are pushing back against a rejection of science.

Ontario’s bill on supervised drug-use sites may breach Charter rights, legal experts say: The Ford government tabled a bill earlier this week that would shutter nearly half of the sites and stop municipalities from applying to Ottawa for a drug-decriminalization exemption
