It's the New Canada! With a New Government!

And, apparently, the Ottawa municipal government is quite happy for crack users to contract Hep C and/or HIV, and then deal with the health consequences. A classic example of gains in short-term optics at the expense of long-term social costs.

The bit I love is this -- Ottawa's crack kit program cost the city 8,000 dollars per year.

Wow. That saved a lot of money.
