I’ve posted before along the same lines knowing people who work in the DTES and how it’s just a cash cow for non-profits.

Very clearly, the answer isn’t status quo.

This is the same stupid shit we’ve already had with Covid “oh woe is us.. who will staff these places? Who will enact change???”

That shit should have started YESTERDAY

Our political system is full of cowards who only have personal gain in mind, and everyone is so incompetent no one could ever have the balls to just toss a bunch of money at a problem with a concrete plan. We ALWAYS do things half ass.

Rebuild river view, overhaul the addiction treatment system, monetarily incentive working in these industries, fast track training and certification whether this is through mentorship, coop training, etc.

I can guarantee you, if criminal legislation had some teeth, crime would drop. Enact a THIRTY chance program. On your thirtieth offense, you’re locked up for 5 years.

The liberals gun legislation is an exact parallel to the criminal justice system as a whole. You completely miss the mark on what you’re trying to achieve while spending BILLIONS of dollars in ineffective programs and wasteful legislation.

There isn’t a law abiding, legal, gun owner in this county that would be opposed to some kid running around with skytrain with a loaded handgun going to jail for 5 years when he’s caught. But no.. take away farmers shotguns and register long rifles literally never used in crimes.

Someone do fucking SOMTHING with some teeth ffs..

By the way, I actually tried to do something “the proper way” in wRiTe yOuR MlA!!!”

I wrote a well worded email to both Jenny Kwan (federal MP) and Niki Sharma (provincial MLA) about homelessness and crime and what their govt. plans to do to address these issues as constituent in their ridings. Generic auto reply from Jenny, -nothing- from Nikki.

Thanks elected officials. Not like they were gonna say/do a thing anyways.
