CBC News used the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection Privacy Act to obtain an extract of the database the city uses to track property standard complaints about discarded needles and syringes.

This is a remarkably balanced and informed article, well worth a few minutes to read. The annotated incident map gives much more information regarding incidents if you click on each red dot.
