I built the daycare on Expo Blvd. and the city provided the hazardous waste bins, and I got the decent bottle guys to do oversight on the playground in place of keeping the cans for them for friday p/u. It actually worked. they'd also tell me when sketchy theft punks were around (usually just released) and we'd secure the place. (the daycare is west of the playground on the second floor between the two high rises on the east side of Expo. Blvd. You have to have a solution.

I lived in Singapore for 4 months. In four months of doing door to door evangelism for a local church in Singapore I never sniffed marijuana once in the hallways of the multiple highrises I visited. I never saw public intoxication. Heroin was out of the question as trafficking meant a death sentence and minor possession meant a period of incarcertion and labour at Changai prison along with mandatory rehab. The year I was in Singapore (2011), no Singaporeans died of overdose, one foreigner died of overdose, meaning one person died in Singapore from a heroin overdose out of a population of over 5 million people and that person was a foreigner. Three people were executed for drug trafficking and a few went to jail and rehab for minor possession. All other crime is rare. I think if memory serves me correct there were 8 homicides in 2011 and robberies and thefts are also extremely rare. Interestingly, because the health care system isn't dealing with constant overdoses and isn't handing out free needles and sex change operations there is no wait list for knee replacements (a low income friend of mine got her knee replacement when I was there 2 days after her doctor told her she needed one) and the income tax rate is 15% for most Singaporeans and maxes out at 20% for those who earn over $300,000.

Remembering war on drugs has now turned into war on the straight

[@spelunkerd]

As well meaning as consumption sites are, they have a tendency to concentrate the drug seeking culture in one area to take advantage of free services. That concentration of customers is great for dealers who are more efficient at luring new customers into the game. Our governments should not be involved in the doubtful task of enabling the very behavior they are trying to extinguish. It was a fairy tale to think housing the homeless in hotels, offering free food and even free drugs would do anything but make the problem worse.

[@bettyjosusin7944]

nothing well meaning about them.....money laundering.

[@cochranedodge2]

I am saddened by the state of affairs. We need to help people with addiction and the answer is not giving them more drugs. It’s about treatment and recovery. Our governments have failed at so many levels. A priority is not tampons in a men’s washroom. So much waste and no help for these poor souls.

[@chrisgraham2904]

It can be done. There were 18,000 people experiencing homelessness in Finland when the country first launched its effort to tackle the issue in 1987. At the end of 2022, the figure had dropped to 3,686 in the country and only 492 people in 2022 spent the night outside without shelter. Their target is the complete eradication of homelessness by 2027....and they are on schedule.

Sunnycrest Nursing Home is 7 km away. Maybe a different one. The Sunnycrest Nursing Home issue has a crazy corrupt story to it. Lake ridge health says they are still trying to place the long term res in a new home. Maybe they are all in hospital waiting for a bed?

We had one if our Tim Hortons close right on main street, there are still others out of town. I imagine too many homeless/welfare/ mentally unstable people were the cause. It gitvto the point people that knew the area would not want to go there and would go to another location.

Calgary Tim Hortons on 17th. tries to maintain "normal", the young manager is a real cool guy that sees all sides. But downtown I was panhandled IN LINE at a McDonalds and came close to taking the guy OUT. All I got from that man. and his cashier male were excuses. In Canada if you win the fight YOU are the one charged, no matter if the perp. initiated it, you were on your own property, and he came at you: I have a 18,000 lawyers bill to prove it. Unfortunately, this ain't Texas.

Very sad indeed. What baffles me is why ANYONE would even ATTEMPT to try drugs. I know they have mental health issues, so FFS the Government needs to step up, and get these people into treatment!

[@tommcd8471]

Can't treat most of them and its a waste of resources. The guy living in his car because hes going through a bad divorce and just needs a little help. Thats a person you put resources into, thats an asset to society. You can't save an addict thats not completely committed to saving themselves and even then its a long shot sometimes. Truth is if you're smoking fentanyl, any of the associated crap or injecting that garbage then its already pretty much game over.

[@boxwoodgreen]

The problem with that is that "treatment" is around $50K a pop. and, comes with an 80% failure rate. How many "tries" is the Social Work Industry going to demand for every drug addict ? What's some "progressive" Judge going to call an unlimited "Charter" right?
