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...

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
