Finally someone has some fucking balls to deal with the DTES https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2023/0...east-hastings/
If being provided with inside accommodations isn’t enough for you, then there probably isn’t anything that’s going to be good enough. Make it a crime to setup an encampment on the streets.
I can’t stress this enough, there is -nowhere- I’ve been that looks as bad has as many people littering the streets at Vancouver, it’s fucking embarrassing

he did say he has his objectives and when complete he'll leave
i guess that allows him the freedom to be inclined to do things and not worry about having to win the popular vote.
i've noticed street disorder increased exponentially during the last few years of the pandemic... where did the influx of people come from?

It's great if it happens, but this isn't some new cutting edge approach. It's just words until it's done, like all the times prior.

If you resist being taken off the streets where you’re starting fires and filling your tents with weapons and whatnot because you can’t be a functioning part of society, then you’re better off in jail or dead.
The amount of violent crime and civil disobedience here is fucking insane, and of course with zero repercussions for one’s actions this is all just going to continue. Force people off the streets, if they can’t assimilate then lock them up period
Why should any of us have to be victims to this shit

In other words, I am not arguing with you, I'm just pointing out that this will only serve as temporary reprieve from the current situation.Soon enough, we will be back to watching the war zone unfolding in the DTES.

They've removed a large number of them already, I assume individuals have taken the offer to move to a housing option (whether it be an SRO or something else). It seems like this is to remove the last bunch who are the real hardcore, extremists, or mentally ill individuals who refuse any kind of housing alternative. I feel they (city, police, social workers, etc.) have done a fair, compassionate job in this.

The dangers internal to the camp, as well as the external impacts on the local areas are much less severe.
The city just needs to have the fortitude to rout them before they get a foothold again.

Broken Windows Theory is real.
The clean up is long overdue, you can't address the criminality without addressing the utter filth and decline of the area from an aesthetic perspective first.

It's going to be very hard to lure businesses back to the area, especially with the decline in demand for commercial space.
No businesses, no traffic, no reason for people to go there, back to no rules.

How about just enforce the ones we currently have?
Obviously no one wants to be right in the DTES, but as I’ve said before, my wife’s company moved from Homer and Pender due to the situation, office space leasing is down 20%+ through the downtown core. Granville etc. looks like a third world country.
Clean this shit up.

I'd bet there's more homeless than VPD by a long shot. As I said, this has already been tried. Let's see if the cops don't have to walk away again.

So what did he actually say? Or are screenshots from a fine media outlet like dailyhive good enough?

He's working on his next job. Probably run for MLA / MP or some shit. When he was mayor, he was no where. Now he has all the time in the world to say shit.
Maybe tell him to pay that small business he owes money to first. lol

Wasn’t he the one who hired the private security at Vancouver house to fucking push the homeless people away from his building?

So what is the big deal about Katie Telford, JT's chief of staff, testifying about Foreign Interference. Why did Libs not want her to do that?

I am not super up-to-date on the story, but I seem to remember reading that CSIS and/or RCMP saying that they have briefed Turdeau on the foreign interference in the last federal election, but Turdeau has claimed in front of the camera in Parliament that he has never been briefed on something like that. Naturally, those things don't add up.
With Telford being Turdeau's Chief of Staff, obviously she is expected to know stuff -- at least when it comes to what materials get through to Turdeau. Turdeau and the Libs would of course not want her to talk.

Not sure if this really fits here, but seems it kinda does.
How fucked is it that the head of one of the worst police services in the country can make this kind of money. Does he receive a controversy bonus every time something illegal or immoral happens within his department?
His 3 deputy chiefs are paid more than other Canadian chiefs. Maybe this is what people are talking about with the "defund the police" movement. Not closing the police store. Quote: |
Palmer’s $493,932 in earnings suggest he was the highest paid leader of a municipal police department in Canada in 2022.
