In this latest issue of Megaphone, we sit down with Vancouver's Dr. Julio Montaner, who's pioneering work around HIV research has saved countless lives around the world.

In our interview, Dr. Montaner calls out the federal Conservatives for trying to shut down the safe-injection site, explains why governments around the world need to step up their commitment to HIV/AIDS treatments, and answers his critics, who claim he has become too much of an activist. 

We also take a look at how the Fraser Health Authority is failing to live up to its harm reduction policies in Surrey and Abbotsford; why the cancellation of a missing women exhibit is a missed opportunity; weigh-in on the sled-dog culling controversy; and preview one of the best from the Vancouver Latin American Film Festival.
