Canada Court Rejects Government Move To Shut Drug Shooting Facility


The Canadian Supreme Court has rejected a government attempt to shut down North America's only legal drug-injection facility.

The Conservative government says the facility promotes drug abuse.

The court's ruling could open the way to other such sites in Canada.
