Some people get addicted
Some don’t
It still sad
No solutions but a mega thread discussion is a start

Victoria, Vancouver, those are just previews of what will happen to the rest of Canada when you make drug supply free and "safe". Since those two cities have addiction, crime and homelessness figured out, we should be sending everyone to BC for treatment and rehab.
It's amazing, eh!? They've had to lower the speed limit to 30kph because the zombies so often wander into the street. Plus, you often have to walk on the street to get around the tents on the sidewalks.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

The Salvation Army is right next door to the Library which is why there's so many sketch people around there. The area east of the library is even worse since there's more hidey holes that way.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Stop treating overdoses.
Done.
Stop sending firefighters to medical calls completely, would save the city an awful lot of money for something that is supposed to be a provincial responsibility and for which the city doesn't receive funding.
This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show QuoteI’ve made an effort to walk E Hastings pretty regularly since the 90’s. People call it a shit hole but it’s not that bad. Well, it wasn’t that bad. Last year was the first time I had to turn around because it’s that fucked up now. There’s sections of sidewalk that’s completely blocked out from any sunlight. Essentially a murder tunnel. It’s nuts.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Edit - apparently they cleaned it up a bit literally the day I left: https://vancouversun.com/news/local-...ampment-update
I’m back again shortly, will attempt the walk to Chinatown again thru there.

Around half of all calls CFD responds to are medical in nature, and that, in theory, is a provincial responsibility.
CFD budget could be much lower without those.
Buddy with CFD speculates his hall responds 80% to overdoses.
In fact they have "regulars" that call 911 and purposely overdose.
The "medical unit" has been defunded so they end up taking a full fire unit for each drug related call out.
By “defunded” do you mean they bought another one 2 weeks ago?
You know what is the biggest flaw across every level of our government? A bizarre obsession with things that aren’t their jurisdiction/responsibility while simultaneously ignoring and doing a shit job with all of the items they are actually responsible for.
End result? No one does anything. No one is accountable for anything.
And the government bloat industrial complex increases endlessly despite ever dwindling quality of government service.

I know his hall had three medical response units, but all were removed and they are back to taking a full engine to their medicals.
110% agreed with the accountability statement. That's just society in a nutshell though.
Doubtful they've been defunded, very likely they've been deployed for actual medical emergencies.
CFD has been first responder for years now. I was sick with something, called 911 for an ambulance, got a firefighter instead.
The number of days in a week that the fire alarm gets pulled in my building because of the retail area below is crazy. Every other day, before 7am... Goes off.
Regular people getting abused and having to walk through a drug use area is craziness. Downtown was never like this when I was a teen.
I do think China is purposeful in exporting drugs to North America. Look up what the Brit's did to China a long time ago. Ruined China for decades.
