Are the people involved proud of their so called accomplishment??!!  If some of these people had a family member in crisis due to illicit opiate addiction, I wonder if they would have been so quick to take the action they did.

Leaves me wondering how many people are now still suffering that might not have been.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am curious as to what the difference in attitude is between Calgary and Edmonton when it comes to MMT.
