93 million Canadian taxpayer dollars were given to house, feed, etc. asylum seekers between 2021and 2023. Shouldn't those dollars be spent to help Canadians?

You don't pay for anybody's drugs! if they're on a safe supply program boo-hoo for you paying tax dollars we pay your shit ass healthcare cost, so 😮 maybe people don't want you alive like how you clearly don't care if they are ever think about that? oh no, we're all screwed paying taxpayer money. It's not a waste. It takes a ton of times to go to detox and rehab and that's the nature of addiction and I'm glad they haven't died from relapses..

What the heck, saying Dr Gabor Mate said he'd "try" to help her get clean. Not get her clean, that's on the person that uses. And she seems too partway realize that now but clearly she fully doesn't. Dr Gabor Mate is absolutely amazing and does so so much for not only the people who use substances but the treatment providers, their loved ones, stigmas in the general public and legal system at all levels, and sooo much more! Sheesh.

Thanks for the video. I remember crashing on that bench a few times. Nice to see the park still is in good shape. The girl seem to have it together as far as things go there.

At least these women are honest and have a little bit of insight...but clearly not enough to do the emotional work. Abuse of the system . Always put yourself behind your circumstances. Good luck.

Bless you ladies. You are so brave. I will pray for you both. 🙏💕🙏💕

Youre making excuses. Detox is detox wherever you go. HOW BAD do you want it, FIGHT for it, no its not going to be easy nothing worthwhile ever is!

@sharong8511 3 ай бұрын

Yes, Inquisitor, excuses are what I determined to be coming from the lady with the blue toque especially. I’m not judging her, I have been where she is, not in Vancouver but in the same mindset. Detox is unpleasant but as you said they are not the reason. Drugs are available to anyone who actively seeks them. She chose to leave because she wanted drugs, the boyfriend’s birthday was irrelevant, just a convenient excuse.

@marneeklintworth9300 Ай бұрын

The known statistics are that most people who go to detox up to seven times before they succeed in kicking their habits.

13:30 she says the scenery is so beautiful today while filming tents of homeless people struggle to survive and speaking to two struggling women.

@marneeklintworth9300 Ай бұрын

The tents have been there for years but this is a vast improvement over what it did look like years ago. It's a shame that this city has come to this stage and nothing seems to be able to fix the problem

Cannabis? helping me heal from rectal assault nearly to death at 3. And healing is no pinic....many many suicidal crises which most therapists are scared to go through with you.

Key words " you have to want it more than you want drugs " Choosing is what its all about. I'd love to hear other people's views from these interviews about lifestyles and circumstances from these people's close relations.
