Show Notes

Concerns are being raised over safe supply programs in Canada because of what’s being done after drugs are administered to users in the program.

National Post columnist Adam Zivo joins the show to discuss the findings of his investigation, why addiction physicians are worried, and what, if anything is being done to stop the practice.
