So it’s 100% not my job to figure these things out. That’s why we have govt. that’s why we pay taxes etc. I can be critical because I’m a citizen of this country and this city and I’m seeing it turn to shit.

And PP just made a video about how broken this current system is highlighting the DTES.

It’s pretty clear this safe supply system is not working. Infact it’s seemingly just creating more addicts with easier access etc. I don’t know how the advocates can argue it’s working or saving lives when month after month, year after year we are seeing record OD deaths. If the argument is that exponentially more people are drug addicts therefore the numbers prove the effectiveness of the program, that is a disgustingly sad state of affairs we find ourself in. If you’ve ever known an opiate addict, preventing them from ever starting is a far more effective long term strategy than trying to fix them afterwards. And I guarantee you we have old DTES veterans simply leading young, vulnerable, people on the DTES into a life of addiction with the ease of access.

As I’ve always said, my biggest issue is crime, crime is a multi-level govt. issue however the liberal attitude that both Vancouver and the federal govt. have been taking on serious crime is woefully ineffective.

Or are you saying the approach to violent, repeat crime is in-fact effective?

All these things Westopher outlined before, opportunity, recovery, etc. those are -not- there under this current system. So.. like.. this system is turning into total shit, it’s going into its 9th year.. like the healthcare system do we just wait another 20 years so we can say it’s still shit? Lol ffs..

Underscores point “heheh do you think the cons will help people?”

Lol and the liberals are? Lol record homelessness, record food bank usage, record poverty, record unaffordability.

You guys make the govt. sound like the shitty corporation that can’t do anything for their employees but here’s your pizza party! A $200 tax credit! That will get ya half a tank of gas.
