Sure, there are plenty of safe injection cities all over Canada. They save lives, not promote homelessness.

This is terribly reductionist, and apathy is not at all the same as actually providing help.

With all of that homeless business going, would that toilet would be acceptable enough to use for a normal person? I certainly wouldn't go into one where I can find someone tripping, shooting, dealing, assaulting or smelling worse than the toilet itself.
I'm talking about a safe injection facility, not a toilet.
