While walking to a local playground with her young son on Aug. 13, Ginny Roth passed by a controversial drug consumption site in the Leslieville neighbourhood of Toronto. Posted on the door was an ad offering chocolate bars in exchange for used needles.
“If you live in Leslieville and you’re concerned about your kids picking up needles that surround the drug consumption site, you don’t have to worry. In fact, if your kids collect enough they can trade them in for chocolate,” Ms. Roth tweeted along with an image of the poster.
