I honestly feel if they don’t call an election soon something crazy is going to happen to Trudeau or Singh. There is a lot of Canadians hurting and the politicians are totally missing the average Canadian’s pain.
They cant walk the streets without having a small army following them, that says a lot.
@@sergiolandz6056 👍
canadians dont have the balls to do anything 'serious'. thats a laugh
IMO it's inevitable ...
The USA is also in huge mess with prez & demoncrats making illegals, asylum seekers priorities over citizens!
Socialism & liberalism is a gift that keeps on giving.
Are you blaming the left-wing policies for this?
Why can't Amnesty not charge Provincial Government British Columbia, Camada with the miss treatment of miss treatment of humans?
One word Trudeau
Pierre is not the answer js
I was interested until I learned he’s now a Liberal. 😡
DAMN!!!
Lol, the BC liberal party is actually very conservative and right wing. If you only educated yourself enough to know that 🤦♂️
guess you didn't watch the whole video
@@ubcphysicsyangbo lol, if only you knew it dont matter what dog you pick, they all come from the same breeder.
bc liberal party is right wing
Aaron is one of the few people Pierre Polivere would endorse as an MP even though he’d be against his party. Some politicians aren’t actually afraid of a strong opponent because what they really want is a better country and not a bigger paycheque.
Why is "Vancouver dying" look no further than the world economic forum, whose slogan is "you will own nothing, and be happy"
Who was part of the world economic forum? Look no further than former Mayor Gregor Robertson. Is the current mayor? Who knows. But there are individuals that work for the city of Vancouver that are responsible for planning for it's future that are also part of the world economic forum.
Homeless started in California, Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Wash, and now Vancouver, WASH, STOP RAISING THE RENT SO MUCH. start building low income housing.
Thank you Aaron for highlighting the problems that are escalating in Vancouver and Victoria! The ONLY addicts I know who have had a good success rate are those that were able to get professional help AND a good support system. NONE have ever said THOSE drugs the government supplied were a help in getting me into recovery! In fact the initial 'FREE' CERB money contributed to the death of my dear friend's son along with two others! We need more recovery centers, more support to help people get clean and LESS drugs on our streets. Kudos to Danielle Smith for seeing the light and DOING something about it!
But that's not the plan. Just sit quiet and roll up sleeve for experimental drugs please. I wish people would just realize the pure evil of all of this.
The complete 4 pillar program is actually excellent in its entirety... when politicians push this plan and then only build one of the four pillars, you know the program has been compromised. The reason for the failure of the program is simply corporate greed... the other three pillars do not generate a profit. The weak link in the plan is where the root corruption of the political system meets the financial control (manipulation) of the corporations. Its at this juncture where democracy, community health, social safety, etc. are sacrificed in order to pocket the signing bonus that initiates an ongoing cash generating political program. You think a problem like this would have society as a whole, up in arms and inundating Parliament with demands for change. Let's address the root addiction and get people medically stable, let's get people into therapy / mental support programs to start the process of addressing their core issues, and for fucks sake, get the police back in all communities so we can all live in a safe and stable environment. We should be investing fully in the complete logical and sensible program to generate environments that will increase economical cash flow beyond expectations. Big Pharma is one of the greediest industries worldwide and we as world citizens have allowed this to happen by not holding our politicians accountable and allowing the political structure to be grossly abused. True "Politics" is not supposed to be about making money, true politics is the management of our tax funds to provide the needs of the "community" (whether it be municipal, provincial, federal). Get involved in your local ridings... if we send ethically minded people up the chain, we'll have fewer grifters representing us at higher levels of government. Starting at the base of the structure is the only way to start weeding out the corruption. It will take great vigilance, but the outcome would be so uplifting for one and all.
Keep up the great work you are doing Aaron
Aaron, I appreciate your documentaries.
I can tell he is too honest to be a politician. Also, he lacks charisma. Good luck though.
How can ANY Politician see this and not dive into this. OMG
Children as young as 12 and 14 addicted to these so called safe drugs paid for with our taxes
(MATTHEW 25;35) FOR I WAS HUNGRY YOU GAVE ME SOMETHING TO EAT, I WAS THIRSTY YOU GAVE ME SOMETHING TO DRINK, I WAS A STRANGER YOU INVITED ME IN (Refugees, Migrants, Homeless) I needed clothes you clothed me, I was sick you looked after me, WHATEVER YOU DID FOR ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE BROTHERS OF MINE YOU DID FOR ME.😢🙏
Aaron Gunn is typical of the kind of politics we all are forced to put up with lately. With a title like "Vancouver is Dying", we know he simply has a popularity agenda, pushing a horror story for clicks and attention. There are so many more ways to get information about these issues than from a guy furthering his career with shock journalism, and now politics. It would be great to get real facts and in-depth coverage, decent journalism. His video wasnt journalism, it was made in the style of a horror movie...
Where I live in the USA has a regular influx of people leaving the American Left Coast for the same reasons BC is suffering. Boise has been sued for enforcing criminal and public health laws.
What scares me is the word liberal, even though its provincial its still libreal.. NDP / LIBREAL parties have not worked in the past 20 years and will not work ,The social welfare system does not work and has never worked, the legal system needs an overhaul,, from a legal system to a justice system..
I was there in June. And I only have one word to describe it: shame! Vancouver looks as bad as Sao Paulo where I live. At least we have a very good excuse / explanation for our current situation: we are a poor undeveloped third world country . what's Vancouver's excuse for allowing things to reach this point?
When the world is too big for their own good, with a billion of captains on a ship, tbere is no way, a problem can ever be solved
homelessness is a big problem - as if some of these people even have a choice - and then drugs is another thing - the government isnt helping with these problems - look at how many people are using food banks nowadays - I have always worked and I em now struggling to even eat let alone pay for rent - I just pray people open their eyes and we make those changes not only for some - but for all people - cause them homeless people werent always that way n the addicts as well ( some addicts sure) immigrants have more benefits then OUR OWN PEOPLE ( CANDIANS) - we need more treatment options
there is a lot of one party blaming the other for the failing programs, but at the end of the day, its all about choice, the programs our government creates, also assumes that most of those clients are capable of rational decision making, and genuinely want sobriety, housing and jobs, but they do not take into account how incredibly toxic the drugs are. Until now All the programs created for street people are voluntary and a few do cooperate but unfortunately most others don't and they will find a way to abuse the services, like the new safe supply program, most addict's will trade away their free medication to street dealers for fentanyl, So indeed we need more recovery centers but similar to the ones in the private sector, no more of dirty S.R.Os handing out needles and more that help no one...
lauren southerns was good too. the homeless industrial complex
Ive worked in the DTES and yes can confirm. The homelessness industryu is booming, lots of homeless drugs addicts coming online every day. And the city is happy to throw taxpayet money into a deepening black hole called the downtown east side. Fuck this place
Thank you, I just watched it. That was a good take.
I fell in love with Vancouver when I was 18 in 1986, and regardless of where I was or what I was doing over the years the wind always pushed me back there. Last year I left and I'll never go back, it's a full-fledged balls-out shit show now, it's impossible to live there...which is really sad when you consider it used to be a laid back port town with lots of music and the most gorgeous scenery in North America...it was Canada's jewel, now it's a dump.
Just the DT east side is a dump ? Or the city entirely?
Aaron Gunn for Prime Minister! Intelligent, common sense, critical thinking ability and real. No pretensions. He is what this country needs to change the direction in which are going. PP and Aaron would be amazing!
The problem is not drugs, crime or the economy. It is the godlessness of people in power.
As an atheist I’m supposed to disagree with you, at least on this subject. However I’m at least 90% in agreement with that exact comment. All of this hurts my heart. I live in Burnaby with my five, soon to be six children and I’ve been trying to get it together to move to Kamloops away from most of this nonsense. I’m also trying to find enough money to send my children to Catholic school, but already do Catholic preschool for the little ones. It’s almost like how Muslim and Christian groups are banding together to fight against LGBTQ stuff in grammar schools as well as junior high.
@@john-paulsilke893 May the Lord bless you and your family. I pray that he reveal himself to you. The end times cannot be stopped: "But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people." 2 Timothy 3:1-5.
But we can set our own houses in order by first obeying the word of God.
I beg to differ, god or no god, this is a drug problem and a policy problem, period
1 Corinthians 2:13-14: This is what we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.
Spirit = God = Love for the common man
I was born and raised on the west coast... we left in 95 and I am so thankful.... we now live in a beautiful place in the middle of the country and we as a community are prepared to keep this bullshit out of our neighborhoods...
How this can be allowed to happen and continue to happen in all of our cities is unbelievable... this is not a housing problem this is a drug problem and a government policy problem and needs to be fixed immediately.... we need our cities to not only refund the police but increase law enforcement budgets and give the police the power back to arrest these people, we need our laws to make sense again... we need the judges to put these people behind bars for longer periods of time...
Stop the bullshit!!
We all want our beautiful cities back .
WALMART, TARGET, SAFEWAY CUT HOURS SO MANAGEMENT CAN GET A HUGE BONUS, and then no one can pay their rent. you cannot get a 2nd job, you have to work their schedule
Aaron did you receive any funding from CMF.
What are they doing. People are dying on streets right in front of people.
THE POLITICAL PEOPLE ARE DOING NOTHING.
Oh, but they are! All according to plan...
Thanks Erin for speaking out about this issue
IF I WAS HOMELESS I WOULD USE DRUGS TOO BECAUSE I WOULD BE DEPRESSED AND FEEL HOPELESS,
No more Chinese laundry
Vancouver's dying because not enough. People phone 311 and complain to the city. I had to make up for it. Because I was in the worst neighborhood and still am and I haven't stopped ever calling 311. Eventually, it'll work, but always record record record like my RUclips channel so that you can prove you live in. A s*** show and Vancouver is died. So I've been basically for a couple of years now. Been recessitating my neighborhood with the constant 311 calls and non-emergency calls and emergency calls. In fact, they know who I am now they call me. Debbie before I tell them my name. So there that's what you got to do folks😮
Fancy meeting you here. Thanks for the work you've been doing in DTES. Hope you and daisy are well
All the decades and there figuring this out now WHY WHY WHY😮
It's just like here in the America.
granville street is a chit hole
Rental health issues. That’s only a small fraction of the number of units created through the government’s supportive housing fund. The vast majority of people who could benefit from complex care housing, with access to addiction and mental health supports, will not get in.
Julian Sommers, the researcher interviewed several times in the film, is often cited incorrectly by people who don’t want to have addicted people or people with acute mental illness living in their neighborhoods. Sommers is a brilliant man - I’ve met him. His research states that people are able to be their most well selves when they’re meaningfully integrated into community, with genuine access to the supports they need to live. And I agree with that wholeheartedly - people need to be in safe, comfortable homes, with accessible health care, accessible recreation, welcoming places to meet and spend time with friends, and meaningful ways to contribute to society and have a sense of accomplishment.
There are several things happening concurrently that I think are making the situation complex. Yes, ideologues and out-of-touch academics started pushing a kind of libertarian approach to drugs; at the exact same time, though, we saw access to housing, health care, social services, childcare, and all forms of education become more and more out of reach for everyone except the very most privileged, and we can’t stop talking about that part of the equation. If this documentarian had spoken to anyone who provides a social service like housing or childcare (not just policing), they’d find that what has changed the most is the sheer demand for support as quality of life degrades for 99% of residents here."
Where the f**k I live man
I have an idea that would decrease addiction numbers guaranteed. Step one, if someone is using or high in public, arrest them. Take them to jail for 14 days with no drugs. Step 2 release them without charges. The day of release explain the destruction of addiction and recovery options. The pain of withdrawal motivates addicts to think about alternatives. You would see reductions within months.
Vancouver is dying and a number of what once was the most beautiful cities in the U.S. This is a war! What's needed is warriors. Strong ethetical warriors!
🇨🇦👎🇨🇦👎🇨🇦👎
Aaron, I love your Documentary on the West Coast commercial fishing industry My family has a history in this industry for 4 decades, and I want to put my 2 cents in.
Vancouver is dying a long slow death.
I think that none of our political parties are true to their original platforms, Liberals and NDP too far left Conservatives too far right. I no longer vote by party but try to determine the worth of the individuals. I would vote for Aaron Gunn,
Gunn is no less right than the current Conservatives. Its clear that the Libs/NDP have moved further to the left over the past decade, but Im curious as to how you believe the current Conservatives are too far right? I would argue they have moved towards the left over the past decade as well.
"Too far right" What the hell does that even mean? As in 2 spaces to the right of Stalin?
@@MisterMonsterMan yup, Pierre is only fiscally conservative. In almost every other way he’s quite Liberal. Dr Lewis and Derek Sloan however are very Conservative, including but not limited to being openly ProLife, (which I definitely am, even though I’m definitely atheist, and not a huge fan of religion in general).
Why dosent he run for a conservative party. Even the Liberals changed their name to distance themselves from Trudeau.
I've been following Aaron Gunn for awhile and continue to encourage others to follow him as well. This is the first time I have heard of Coastal Front and I can see that this too is a channel to follow. Thank you to the host for your humane approach and your skill at drawing out the best of Aaron. I wish you both continued success.
START BUILDING SECTION 8 PUBLIC HUD HOUSING, the RENT IS TOO HIGH IN VANCOUVER, B.C.
The alcohol pandemic is HUGE too
Truth is what our society needs. Thanks, Aaron, for our work.
Happening in London Ontario 😢
Shocking!!!
Jo
a conservative running a left wing party? no wonder voters are so confused. Sad that Gunn is running liberal. i will not vote for him now. :/
BC Liberal Party is conservative right as opposed to the governing New Democratic Party's far left policy's. Yes very confusing, thus the BC Liberal party just changed their name to BC United to eliminate any connection with the federal far left extremest Liberal party.
@@danmorrow7153 trudeau ultimately runs the liberal party, so this does not make sense. Aaron will have no power, no say being in liberal
@@XMG3 No, the BC Liberal Party mentioned in the video is now the BC United Party, the former BC Liberal party had nothing to do with the Federal Liberals, one is right wing and one is far extremist left wing - they are completely opposite - Gunn is right wing.
Anything liberal is a failure
guess you didn't watch the whole video
HOMELESSNESS CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE.
Ask every person in this country to give $10. Put the money towards treatment centers.
Omg this has 0 to do with anyone policies this has to do with a person who decided to transition and was not forced. Give me a break
Propaganda don’t listen to this nonsense. Vancouver is an amazing city is people are trying to divide us and pull out some of them American style politics where we focus on the people that are not having a good experience and crank up the volume so that it’s all we talk about and always see or hear city has incredible social planning beautiful parks wonderful people great businesses I’ve lived there almost all my life in the downtown Eastside alongside these artists and people who live outdoors not to take away from their juicy content whoring but if you just focus on the negative, you’re going to see more of
The Titanic is not sinking!
😂😂😂😂😂 you live in a little bubble 🤦🏻♀️
buddy there are videos all over online, we can see what's going on for ourselves. Delete your comment, I'm embarrassed for you that you thought that was going to work...
Wow negative content gets views???? So shocking
Vancouver is not dying. Only the poor in Vancouver are dying.
