Government still clinging to dogma and rejecting science on Insite

The story in the paper today was that doctors at UBC(university of British Columbia)had written the Prime Minister in support of the renewal of the exemption required to keep the only safe injection site in N.A. open.I believe they also wrote to health minister Tony Clement .I'm afraid that what I reported when the subject was first approached,that the government was one of religious dogma and anti-science was truer than even I thought.There have been so many positive studies and research papers even I was starting to think they would bend.As the final date approaches we have heard only hedging and allusions to insufficient research data.Even this government cannot believe that.So Senator Campbell is still threatening to chain himself to the door to keep the site open and the Conservative government continues to deny science on all fronts.It's certainly making the wait one of tension and frustration for all concerned.
