So a Calgary Herald "journalist" is stirring up some controversy suggesting that Cory wouldn't have died had he been in other Canadian city and using his death to promote her agenda against Insite (safe injection site in Vancouver). Pretty awful 'journalism' all around in this article. Some of the more painful parts:

Ask any informed Vancouverite where you could pick up a bit of heroin and they’d be able to tell you. Everyone from teetotalling old ladies with blue hair to a straight-A student in elementary school — all know if you want hard, illicit drugs, just go to the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver and heroin will be as easy to acquire as chewing gum.

Several years ago, while partaking in one of my addictions — the double crunch sushi roll at Midori Japanese Restaurant on 17th Avenue — I overheard a group of three young people talking excitedly about how on their upcoming trip to Vancouver, they intended to drop by InSite to try heroin for the first time. I have since long wished I had butted into their conversation and intervened.
