Premier Doug Ford, health minister defend supervised consumption site closures
Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Health Minister Sylvia Jones stated they will not reverse the decision to close seven supervised drug consumption sites by mid-June, following closures of nine other sites last year. The province is shifting to an abstinence-based HART hub model, while data shows an 82% increase in suspected opioid overdose calls in Toronto after the previous closures. Six former Toronto mayors and health advocates have criticized the move, warning it will lead to more deaths.
