Top court rules Insite drug injection clinic can stay open
Vancouver’s Insite clinic sought permanent exemption from federal drug laws

For eight years, drug addicts have walked into a nondescript green building in the heart of Vancouver's troubled Downtown Eastside, sat down in front of a mirror at one of a dozen dimly lit, metallic tables and injected drugs such as heroin into their veins.

In my point of view , I think the government is doing a good job that prevent the health risk and take care the people who need drugs and help them to recover from taking drugs and lead them back to society.
Due to Vancouver having the largest "user" population in most of Canada, this step seems decent but may lead to a few problems such as "users" to use government funding to fund their addictions. But for those who are committed to passing their addiction this is a very nice addition to the city.
