A news story which dominated national headlines just weeks ago. The urgency has not ended, nor even diminished, even though it's not a daily topic of discussion now, except among Canadians directly engaged. The issue of drug addiction, the "safer supply (of drugs)" and the sale of 'safer supply' drugs by addicts who received them free to Canadian teens is a national concern, centred in British Columbia. Some of these teens have died of drug overdoses. Now the director of the Vancouver Infectious Diseases Centre, Dr. Brian Conway is drawing attention to the fact of empty beds in detox centres in Vancouver.  Guest: Dr. Brian Conway   Learn more about your ad choices.

Get caught up on the year so far with this weekend's encore presentation of the Roy Green Show! Today's best of the best: We spoke in January about New Brunswick convicted murderers Bobby Mailman and Wally Gillespie. Each was convicted in the 1980's for the same murder. Bobby Mailman spent 18 years in prison and Wally Gillespie spent 21 years imprisoned and yet the were both innocent of the crime. On January 14th, the Chief Justice of New Brunswick on the first day of a retrial acquitted the two men when the Crown said it had no evidence against them. Mailman though is now 76 and dying of cancer, while Gillespie is 80 and living in poverty. Meanwhile the the Justice Minister of New Brunswick has said nothing, even this week, of the wrongful conviction of both men, or about any compensation for the many years they were imprisoned while innocent.   We spoke on January 14th with Ron Dalton, president of Innocence Canada, which through its efforts was able to convince the federal justice minister to hold a second trial for Mailman and Gillespie (Ron Dalton himself was innocent of the murder of his wife, although he was convicted in her death). So now what for two men who spent a combined more than 40 years in prison innocent of the crime for which they'd been convicted? What responsibility does Canada have to compensate these two older men for the theft of many years of their lives? Guests: Ron Dalton. President Innocence Canada Win Wahrer. Director of client services for Innocence Canada. Has been at the forefront of fighting for the incarcerated innocent for many Originally Aired Jan 28, 2024 Blacklock's Reporter: From the week of January 22-28 in Ottawa, with as a listener described, "the what the h-ll is going on" stories often resulting in massive spending of taxpayer dollars.
