Episode notes
Part 1 - Mark takes a close look at the addictions crisis in Manitoba, what the Kinew government is missing in its efforts to mitigate it, and the politics of safe consumption sites
Part 2 - Mark welcomes North Point Douglas residents Karin, Christine and Bill to talk about their frustrations with the location of the proposed safe consumption site (this is not just a NIMBY issue!), how their voices are being ignored by the government, their visit to the Legislative Building and the disappointing treatment they received from Premier Kinew during a subsequent meeting.
We'd love to hear from you! Contact Mark on all social media channels, or email mark@markwasyliwmla.ca
