Dear Editor: I was watching the news on a U.S. channel, one of my favourite programs. They were discussing the recent death of well known Canadian actor Cory Monteith who mostly worked south of
the border, although he died here. To my horror, they referred to Vancouver as "the drug capital of North America." They mentioned the injection sites in a tone that implied those sites made us enablers.
I am aware that drugs are a problem here as they are in many cities, however, it was a bit of a shock to hear us referred to in that way.
Am I naive? Do we deserve that title?
