The City of London, Ontario, was the site of Canada’s first “safe supply” exemption program where drug addicts could receive hydromorphone tablets as a “safer” alternative to fentanyl and heroin. Since the program’s inception, London has become a diversion hub for hydromorphone tablets all over the city and across Ontario. One councillor, Susan Stevenson, has decided to fight back and speak on behalf of her constituents; however, she now faces a 30-day pay suspension without pay for doing exactly that.
