Montreal has 3 new safe injection centres.

I know this may sound callous... but is this the best use of public health dollars?  I fear that this sort of thing may just prolong the suffering... keep them alive until they find a more effective way of killing themselves.  Perhaps mental health initiatives or something would prevent some people from getting into this lifestyle in the first place.

I have known people who worked in emergency rooms who become disheartened and jaded at seeing the same people over and over again over self-inflicted substance-abuse "accidents".
