Did Canada’s tax ‘holiday’ boost spending? Data shows little growth

Two addiction medicine doctors involved in setting up temporary unsanctioned supervised drug use sites outside of Vancouver Island hospitals have resigned from leadership roles with Island Health, with one saying she was placed on leave as punishment for her public advocacy work.The two doctors were part of a group that established the unsanctioned sites outside of hospitals in Victoria, Nanaimo and Courtenay for several days at a time since mid-November in protest of Island Health apparently backing away from plans to offer the service.
