VANCOUVER — A Vancouver protest against the federal government's latest bid to shut down a safe-injection drug treatment site turned into a political donnybrook Wednesday after protesters chained and barred the doors of a Chinese cultural centre.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper was scheduled to attend the dress rehearsal of the Vancouver Chinatown Spring Festival Celebration Parade in Vancouver Wednesday afternoon. Seizing an opportunity, about 150 protesters attended to attack Harper's decision to launch an appeal of a B.C. Court of Appeal decision that ruled Insite, North America's only supervised injection site, can remain open.

Idiots....
I agree it was unfair to close the Chinese Cultural Centre -- better places to protest and better ways to do it.
If there was a single solitary person inside when the doors got chained then there should be charges against the protesters for endangerment. Wouldn't that have been something if there was a medical emergency or fire inside and someone was injured or worse, killed. Morons!
Word has it the chain was put on there by a tiny Tory that infiltrated the protesters...
