been pin cushions down there since the 80's, remember my drug awareness classes in the 80's and they had videos of the addicts on Hastings shooting heroin, just more of them now
I moved to Maple Ridge 47 years ago. There were horse trails down road sides, farms, peaceful neighbourhoods. Now there are drug addicts and homeless people everywhere. Crime has escalated and during the Covid "lock down", all you saw was staggering zombies pushing shopping carts on the side walks. I now live in East M.R. and even out here there are bicycle thieves stealing mail out of roadside mail boxes. So evil for us that work hard to live. I pay over $6000 a year in taxes and don't even have water, garbage pick up, road lights, or sidewalks! I have to drive every day in the spring and summer into the fall to get water 6 miles away in my truck and people come out here to steal from us.
You don't need to go all the way to Vancouver there are places is Toronto that look similar , I think we need to reopen metal health facilities and start a mandatory rehab program for those found in the street tripping in public . We don't want to invite the criminal element back in by criminalizing it , like say banning handguns might do ? Correction , will do.
This is only a small section of Vancouver city. Be that as it may, it is still a big problem the government really needs to put in more effort to solve.
I remember in the 1960's, on Sundays, after church, my family would take a drive to Gastown in Vancouver, and there would be hippies dressed in kaftans, long hair, wearing beads, sitting on the sidewalks with flowers, saying, peace, love, and we so scared of them we'd shut the windows and lock our doors because we didn't know what these weird people were going to do! How different now. They didn't steal, or do hard drugs, well some, but mostly weed or LSD which didn't kill them. Now the death rate is awful.... in Maple Ridge.
It’s what ottawa has created Open the doors to the r worlds wealthy and Canadians can’t afford to keep up … why bother when your own are out to destroy you
Do you think this doesn't happen in every single city and town across the world? These are people who were abused, whether sexually, physically or mentally and sometimes all 3, that turn to drugs to overcome the agony of their lives. Who knows how these poor souls became "broken". They are just trying to live as best they can through the agony of their existence.
@@1BYEBYE1 It is absolutely impossible to starve to death if you live on the street unless you actively try to do that. Every single day, rain, snow or sun, there are people reaching out to them from several different charities and foundations. It's not perfect but, it helps to save some poor broken person to survive.
"Do you think this doesn't happen in every single city and town across the world?" Live in your comfort zone, dude. If this were common in cities other than in the West, why don't we see them in East European countries, or even in Near- Middle-East, is spite of the latter having suffered continuous wars. Imagine the situation if Canada and the US had wars on their territories.

xylazine being laced in fentanyl to amplify the effects, slowing down peoples heart rates to an extreme they become comatose. it also causes necrosis making people need to get amputations. narcan doesnt reverse the effects either. its all terribly sad so many people have turned to this as being their lives.
Edmonton is the same crap happening downtown. 107ave nd 118th Ave are the same!!! It's crazy what the streets are like now. It used to be crappy now its disgusting.
There are places like this in every major city and many are far worse...I walk through these streets and alleys daily and am proud to say I've never felt unsafe as most people in the downtown east side are some of the friendliest and nicest people I've seen, anywhere and that includes the so called well off areas where for example where my parents live, I found those neighborhoods were cold and people avoided eye contact.Its sad of course that so many fighting personal demons and struggling with addiction but I don't see a difference between some drug addicts besides the source of the drugs....one sources from the street dealers and others rely on there local pharmacist!!!!! Some are addicted to gambling....gambling their wealth others their lives...the people down here come from all over the place...different backgrounds and ethnicity's.all social and economic backgrounds...I bet there's a former school mate or neighbor of many of the people watching this!!!!

@@36jjmc No, you cant read or understand that in other countries, they do not have this problem because the drug dealers and users are killed. Have ever travel to the middle east? You have difficulty understanding this?
@@ianmclaughlin8987 Im not having trouble understanding what youre saying. You seemed to be confused that this is not the middle east, and we dont murder people for being sick. What about doctors and drug companies who pushed & got people addicted to opioids? They should be the ones paying for helping these people. You wouldnt be saying murder them if your child or loved one became a drug addict.
This is bad, I'd expect to see this, and worse, in The U.S. not Canada and yet here we are!

why you expected to see this only in us and not canada?

How is that decriminalizing all those drugs working out? Just keep watching.

the problem isn't the drugs, but the minimum wage pay which made a lot of people lose interest in life

You need to bring Justin Trudeau into these neighborhoods, so he can face the reality and see what Canada has become. His arrogant smile will freeze.

how is the government going to solve this problem when they created it!
Stop handing out drugs, ban Narcan. If they wanna offer help it’s called detox.
But they won't cause they don't give a shit besides padding there pockets they are evil government
