Wow, this article reads very biased in favor of the NIMBYs

CBC.

As much as CBC says they don't have a bias, they, like the Star, are the water-carriers for wealthy urban progressives. They're okay with economic progressivism in general terms, just not in their back yard, thank you. Safe-injection site? Sure, I'm okay with that, as long as it's not anywhere I can see it and my property taxes don't go up.

This is as opposed to wealthy conservatives (who are usually just more economically regressive, and read the Globe & Mail or the National Post, and watch Report on Business) or poor conservatives (who read the Sun and either CP24 or a Fox rebroadcast)

Notice that there's no economically progressive mass-media? That's intentional: no one with the power to own media at scale wants anything to do with economic justice.
