HIV/AIDS: "Too Politicized"-Harper

The Conservative government will not be offering any announcements with regards to the fight against HIV/AIDS as the issue has become "Too Politicized", according to PM Harper.

In addition, the Conservative government is not offering assurance that the federal approval will be granted for the Safe-Injection program in Vancouver, which offers drug users clean needles to help reduce the spread of HIV.

"Too Politicized"? Call me cynical, but I think that this is just a way of buying time in hopes that they can come up with a funding package that will help to buy back support after all of the negative press they received on this issue.
