I lived off 107ave and its getting worse every year. The apartment was a shithole mainstreet appts dont take care of their tenants. My place was broken into and they don't care about the homeless people breaking in to the buildings they steal anything thats not bolted down. Mail nd bikes especially. It's unreal how little amount of help there is. Newcomers to canada get hotel rooms. Its fukd.

Yeah, but sometimes you’re really wrong on that. I’ve been raised by a lawyer and a shrink and the best cases of all that kind of things I dealt with alcohol and drugs throughout my entire life and for you even be able to say that because that’s why I am, but yes, I have gotten sober. I’ve dealt with most of my Demons and yeah, but been able to get an open door if that makes sense. It was personally because of my friends not because of my parents. My parents raised me right from day one but I abuse that to the final door I was responsible myself when I was around the age of 30 and just went holy shit there’s some live for you and for mostpeople they will figure that out at the 25 to 30 year old age me from wrong, but it was way too easy growing up in a cushy house until I realized where I needed to be in society and my parents hearts

I survived homeless and was deep into my addiction. Dont Judge unless you been through it😊 Hi Desiree

Nowadays it's cheap to build a basic simple container or cabin shelter ,or tiny house, without electricity and water is totally fine. At least it's safe and a place to call home. Why can't you allow people to have these simple cabins to call home, why leave them sleep on the street or in the shelter that full of violence and drugs? Cold is not the only threat, the violence, the drugs, ... are all what homeless have to face as well. It's cheap to make a basic shelter out of plastic,steel or wood for people to call home and stay safe. Canada is cold, but Canada don't have to be cold hearted! Canada has vast land, enough to allow simple cabins for anyone who needs one to call home. It's not expensive to make a shelter these days.

I dated a ingenious boy at the time he was 17 I was 15,he was in foster care, but his mom had a house on the reserve basically behind their house and would go there all the time. 15 years ago i heard he was in jail, introduced to crack and it ruined his life 😢

It is NOT about the money. There's more than enough money. We fail or refuse to acknowledge (though clearly recognize) that everyone is subsumed in an entrenched system to dominate and oppress. Most of us people are where we are because we can never seem to get to where we were going. ("Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." Voltaire

hell nah :skull:

People need to go out and work. Not depend on government money. Because us that work are the one who pay. Not hard to find a job and get an apartment.

👏 Well done! 👏

I remember reading that the First World War was fought and won by Kitchener's, 'Army of the Rear.;' A hell of a way to gain the respect and adulation of the people with money and politicians in their pockets.

That racism pisses me off to NO end!! There were a couple of times I was out doing errands with a friend who was indigenous. Some of the people I was dealing with were so ignorant. They assumed my friend was there fir services. Without saying anything directly or being rude, I made it very clear that SHE was doing very well and doing ME a favour! There were were other instances where they'd treat her or the person I was with differently. I always made sure to talk to my friends loudly enough for them to hear, about their positive attributes, how I respect the way they're living their lives and thugs like that.

Justin! 🎉 Your recovery is unbelievable and inspirational for the younger youth. Continue this path and become a legend!

Excellent documentary !

Nice to have support in the community.

There is work out there for anyone that wants work and for those that don't, move on Edmonton isn't for you.

The poor r often thrown out into the cold world, without a job, bk acct, or stable housing. They usually have kids out of wedlock, and have no education , little family, and become government dependent

Thank you for making this video, was difficult to watch . Seen a lot of my self and others I care about in the same situation. This problem with homelessness can happen to anyone at anytime now these days . Just trying to keep a roof over one’s head takes up most of one’s income . I’m educated and I’ve worked all my life, but I do not see an easy fix to this problem till all forms of government help to adress these problems and take care of their own people before others .

INDIANS ARE FREE . stop complaining.

Women seem to be more at risk for homeless

alcohol and vilence WAS WHY YOUR PARRENTS WHERE PLACED IN RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS. the cycle was there long befor white man. when you where killing and raping each other with out white man around. just like blacks you blame it on others. whites thinking they can save everyone by brining them in to civilization was a myth and a lie. your just not evolved enough to live in civilization. possibly 10,000 more years and you may be ready. your actions are closer to animals that whites. so sad

Canada needs to help its Citizens, including its indigenous. Money needs to be made available for health care, doctors, rehab programs, social supports and housing BEFORE anything else!

Ya whire people dont have any issues .. what a joke.. stfu change your own life stop useing the past to oredict your future.. trash is trash... white , brown whatever... get over it and work you bums

Wake up Edmonton, tearing down encampments not the solution, find help for the addicts, mental illness, stop helping Ukrainian refugees and immigrants coming here, help our people here , find affordable housing , use your brains and common sense to know where these people need help.

Not just indigenous people I'm white and severely abused by my biological mother and father.its just very sad!

Water Spirit has been angered by the sins of the Earth's people. We can only find redemption in The Lord.😢

Watching this a heavy drizzle...grateful.❤ To God be the glory for every and ALL resource. I pray gratitude will replace confusion everywhere in the mighty name of Jesus.

Wow when that woman said she wished she was white? I can't thank her enough for saying that. I've never had my eyes been opened that fast until she said that. Thank u so much for telling us your story. Never stop talking about these issues. You opened up my eyes so I'm sure u can open many others eyes.

Canada sending millions of dollars to Ukraine, to kill people. While they can give this money to those hopeless cetizens.

Get rid of the liberals example Sohi

We must fight back

You want a comment?Here's one: why do you claim such reverence for your environment, then in the next breath vaunt your participation in its destruction ( 9:10 )? Kinda curious how you can square your espoused spirituality with your actions. Let me know if you figure that one out ( signed, a Nehiyaw relation ).

You don't need to show kindness to evil people it gives them a chance over you

In Canada police is using bullying secretetly as a weapon it's evil especially Calgary and Winnipeg police departments in Canada

Yet Calgary police in canada is using this evil mobbing program secretly targeting communities of African immigrants, moslems, and first nations?

Bullying is behind many cases of missing person, homicides, poisoning, stalking, mass shooting, mental break downs and other forms of violence in north America, police in Canada Calgary is doing cyber bullying on immigrants blacks, moslems, and first nations they use Gang stalking and community mobbing programs to torture their victims immotionally for years and it's targeted harrassment it's illegal and unconstitutional in Canada.

Not kindness that's a wrong advice make them go to jail

well at least you guys got money a job and land that can sustain you.. most people in the city have nothing except drugs and poverty!

Bunch of cry babies on here. Getting a hotel and mental health treatment from the government - is a pretty good gig. Try seeing what happens to homeless people in my part of the world lol. Don't use drugs. " times are tough I need drugs to cope/escape!" Ya, don't use drugs.

4 years ago and look at 2023 ? So sad!

Do you drill your land? Or do you still unfortunately work for them?😈

Precious lesson for every soul out there... Thank you!

As long as there is proper Indigenous Relations, Consultations to all the community members and no Fraud. there must be Transparency and Accountability. Money leads to power struggles and Greed

I absolutely agree with what she said about people not wanting to change. I was horrifically abused. I was put into foster parents that abused me. The change has to start with everyone. If u guys keep getting defensive the moment change is brought up nothing will change. I can give all I want to these people if they don't make the changes they need to the cycle will just keep repeating itself. I broke the cycle. Is it easy? Of course not.

My first few years in Edmonton was the same .. was a hard go and throw addictions in there and its a struggle .. but what other coping mechanisms are there when living in a country that wants natives dead or “indoctrinated”
