Summary:
Leaflet aimed at the general public. It argues for harm reduction programs in Vancouver. It provides statistics on crime and taxes in Vancouver and compares this with Switzerland, where harm reduction programs are widely implemented. It argues that harm reduction is not being embraced by Canada because of the USA's multi-billion dollar industry that depends on continuing the "war on drugs". It encourages readers to tell their politicians "yes" to harm reduction in Canada.
