The Bridge is a not for profit registered charity. They depend on donations from the community to run these programs. Get your heads out of your a$$es and maybe think that some people in our community need support. Don't worry, your precious tax dollars are safe from the evils of addiction.

AMEN!

I work with those people every freaking day! They cant' get out. They can hardly get groceries in. I mean, the addicts get all that AND Vitamin C?

Someone in the government is making a lot of money off what the addicts use. That can be the only driving force here.

so they pay for all the supplies then and not just the delivery service ? so that's fine, but no, if the tax payers have to pay for the supplies. Otherwise get off your a$$ and go get your own gear to get high that's given to you freely at any harm reduction site that's already available
