Kanada. What Vancouver’s departing mayor learned from a decade of the opioid crisis
There is perhaps no one in Canada better placed to reflect on the country’s response to the opioid crisis than Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson. As he prepares to step down after 10 years at the helm of the city at the epicenter of the crisis, he is in a reflective mood.
“It’s tough to leave office with this crisis unresolved,” Mr. Robertson said in an interview at the Opioid Symposium last month in Toronto. “It’s the biggest challenge we’ve faced as a city and, unfortunately, there’s no end in sight.” (The Globe and Mail, Kanada, 01.10.2018)
