Craig Needles Podcast

Is ‘safer Supply’ Making Downtown Drug Issues Worse?

Friday Round Table!

Craig is joined at the Covent Garden Market studio by former city councillor Cheryl Miller and former YOU executive director Steve Cordes.

They tackle the latest dispute about the homelessness crisis at city hall, where one councillor is questioning per bed spending totals.

Then, a look at the way the safe supply (or, prescribed alternatives as some are now calling it) is administered in London and councillor David Ferriera’s criticism of the “corner store” style of the way the program can be accessed.

Also, council expense reports are out! Do we really care how much a councillor spends?
