      You are right about that. I’m just across the pond on the island and women were going missing left and right. There were a few officers that worked the east side and were ringing the alarm bells for years before the higher-ups actually started doing something about it. When it comes to investigating serial homicide if the women are street workers or marginalized no one seems to care. It’s like they have this attitude of “well if it’s prostitutes then I’m safe” or “it’s just prostitutes” and they carry on with their day. But the reality is these are still people. They’re mother’s, daughters, sisters, and friends to someone and we should all care. These women were discarded long before Pickton entered the picture. It’s so sad that this attitude is seemingly global. There’s a documentary about the people of the east side called Through A Blue Lens (and a few others that are really good if you’re interested). It was made by two police offers who worked that area. And they were trying to do something about the missing women long before anyone took a serious look at what was happening. They were ringing the alarm but no one was listening. The doc is good and really compassionate.

    A native woman I knew told me she used to live in the East End when all this was going down. She used to go to the same bar and almost every day she would see "Mr. Picton" drinking while his brother just sat at the bar with him. He would buy her drinks. One time, he asked her if she wanted to go back to his place in Coquitlam to party with him. She said, "no, I only party downtown". That statement probably saved her life because it was less than a year later he was caught.

      One of the reasons why I left Canada after 7 years forever as an international student. I lived in Columbia street at Columbia hotel for a long long time. Canada has a reputation to be a good place to live.....it might be but Vancouver is completely f.........d up. I have witness small issues down the street with sick people where for 1 single homeless drunk , 2 police cars came and 6 cops around him !!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely ridiculous..........Also the immigration policy of Canada is a bit messed up. They promise you a PR after your PGWP and ultimately they send you home likely behind explanations that you need a lawyer to understand.
      I am an Italian and was ok for me to come back in my beautiful country, but during my bachelor degree at BCIT ( where lots of employees don't know absolutely how to perform their jobs and are very rude ) I have met lots of people from poor countries and for them Canada was like the American dream in the 70's. Keeping in touch with many of them , I have discovered that most of them where sent back home after the end of their programs. . . Canada goverment is making millions on international students playing down at certain point.
      Living in the east side , I had the chance to talk with many homeless people..they just need someone to talk with and not get easy drugs everywhere.
      Canada has completely messed up this situation and is unable to find a solution.
      I HAVE HEARD MILLION OF TIMES " SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY " ....they apologize for every single bullshits. Ridiculous !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The fact is many of them don't want to talk to you because you are international and is kind of you "steal jobs " for Canadians....
      Don't give me wrong , my country has lots of issues too but it doesn't sell shit for gold to immigrants.
      Who comes here already knows that we are having issues with job market and politicians aren't really ok.
      But at least we are honest since the outset....God bless you Canadians and stop apologize for everything: apologize continuously isn't synonyms of be educated at all but a poker face to me !!!!

    I live in Vancouver and I have my whole life (30 minutes away from port coquitlam) I was in treatment for addiction and police came in asking addicts in the center about missing women. I didnt have anything to add but some of my fellow recovering addicts went and talked to the cops. The thing is hookers are so transient and hard to follow so are drug addicts. Sometimes whats thought as being missing is a 3 day binge. Well I ended up getting in trouble again for drugs and pickton was in the same prison as me. It was north fraser and me and my cellmate were saying if we could we would take a shot at punching him in the head. Alas he had his own little unit completely cut off and even during the day when they transport pretrial prisoners back and forth to court he was alone. The whole prison with hundreds and hundreds of men awaiting trial and sitting in remand were basically locked down and frozen. Also I know of the only one woman who fought off pickton as he stabbed her she stabbed him back. I wont say her name but guess what she was native of course. Its a real trajety and my condolences go to the victims and family and though I am ashamed for being in jail and struggling with drugs I am proud my fellow prisoners in red would have had street justice enact if possible. It is not though as north fraser is super max security and they search from your ears to your crotch to the bottom of you socks and its tight. I am cigarette free for 3 years and off fentanyl for 7 months this time at recovery. I am not ashamed or proud of prison its what happens and I paid a price but what pickton did was so bad. I know some people who quit eating ham and pork for years after the pickton thing. Where I grew up is the serial murder capital in the world .........its remote and the lack of tundra makes for quick decomposition.

    I was a flight attendant for WestJet (Canada’s second largest airline) for 12 years. Worked with a woman who spent her early 20’s living the downtown east side lifestyle. She was picked up by a man. He headed a different direction than they had agreed upon. She had a bad feeling and ended up jumping out of the moving vehicle and ran. 8 years later the Picton case broke and she recognized him immediately. So scary!

      It's my recollection that some of the victims may have come from the Highway of Tears. Similarly, though on a smaller scale, several murders of FN women in Nova Scotia remain unsolved. This is true of quite a few other murders, though, so hard to say it's racist; more likely classist, considering how things work here. The rape and murders of women are generally under-investigated here, and the RCMP is currently being sued by a victim that was ignored, evidence not collected, no follow ups, etc., when all was quite obvious. It's getting hot for the RCMP here since the massacre. Our very own Keystone Kops, with a fair dose of corruption thrown into the mix.

    As far as the downtown Eastside...
    If you see photos of Vancouver you are seeing a very limited part of it, the downtown core, west end, kits,west Granville and a but if Mt pleasant.
    As soon as you go from essentially the stadium/Chinatown station all the way to almost commercial now, it's a ghetto.
    It was so risky that Canada post stopped delivering mail in that area (not sure if they resumed) earlier this year. There are no sidewalks just literal kilometers of homeless sprawl. It's obviously at its worst on east hastings near Gastown, but it's a growing issue that is only getting worse.

Kind of begs the question if one of these victims belonged to a family of those either side of the arguement would they still have their conviction on leniency. I doubt it.

      "I would want vengeance if this was me" is a pretty poor basis to build a society around. Particularly given that like 1/10 people executed by the state in the west - so, in America - are innocent. Let's turn the question around: are you cool with murdering an innocent man so that nine guilty ones who are no longer capable of harming anyone Die? Or better: would you be alright with dying paralyzed and in agony tomorrow so that nine killers of your choice experienced the same?
      For the record: no, this isn't a Foxhole Atheists thing. Quite a few family members of the victims of murderers across the world have testified *against* having their father, or mother, or brother's killer executed. Some of them are famous. Most of them are not. If your beliefs change in the face of strong emotions, you either didn't really believe in them or they were faulty. It's why you see people like you - you know, people who talk about how everyone else is so afraid of upsetting the 'PC crowd' - seem to drop those beliefs selectively based on their life experience, like John McCain on torture or Dick Cheney on gay rights, but it's damn rare to see the opposite.

      @@glenturney4750 you do know that the way you are talking also puts you under that category of being taken and shot there's a reason we don't shoot idiots because I would have to kill all of you guys example the way you are talking borderline domestic terrorism look it up anything that goes against the will of the people or the country can fall under that category disagreeing with the current government power falls under that category which is why we no longer take people out there to shoot them because we would be shooting all of you. Example what happened at the Capitol building that's considered domestic terrorism one of the few things that you can still get death by firing squad for or don't like a certain president and you post something bad about them on social media you can be shot for that just be happy that you live in America and we tolerate stupidity here.

    Robert: has key to handcuff.
