Mark Follman's article is appreciated. There however is a danger to the program he didn't report. The Conservative national government begrudgingly allowed Insite to continue - hoping, most believe, that the next federal election will turn their minority government into a majority, when they can end it. They have bought into the same rhetoric that the Bush Administration uses - playing to their conservative base which wants to believe that addiction is a moral problem (that only born-again Christianity can solve) and not an illness. Only a concerted effort by people and politicians in Vancouver saved the site this time. Nationally, we're not all that enlightened in Canada, as Follman suggests.
