PM GIVES SAFE-INJECTION SITE IDEA COOL RECEPTION

Victoria's push to build safe injection drug sites has hit its biggest roadblock yet -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

During a private meeting with Harper Friday, Victoria Mayor Alan Lowe said he was told safe injection sites go against the beliefs of the Conservative government.

"I did ask [Harper] about what his direction is on safe injection sites, and he said that he was waiting for some more studies," said Lowe.
