Nanaimo city employee stabbed "a lot" with syringes in public washroom

[@OleGit1497]

Wonderful system of allowing drug use being decriminalized

[@Rocksteady-o5t]

What....

[@Fenthule]

This is EXACTLY why safe consumption sites are important! If these 2 were in a safe site then the official wouldn't have felt the need to say something to addicts shooting up in a bathroom. There would have been no opportunity for this crime to occur. Safe consumption sites are soo critical but people refuse to listen. Drug addiction WILL NEVER go away, and shoving the addicts "under the rug" only makes them angrier and less likely to ever get help. Compassion goes a lot further. Aggression like this is often caused because they feel unwanted and lash out. They need to be found and arrested, but we know that just means they'll be out next week again. Safe consumption sites save lives - not just the lives of addicts either.

[@on2thenextthing]

This happened because legalizing drugs was utter foolishness.

[@brendacawston9236]

Well.. this is the result of a broken system..no shock. It's shameful though on those in power to address the root of the problem but do nothing.

[@j-h-123]

😮 Omg hopefully they are not infected with anything..yikes

[@HuckThis1971]

Will need a syringe registry. When will gov't ban syringes?

[@randyorr9159]

These people are ruining our country. Even in a small town, drugs are openly used in the streets. Just the other day, watched a guy drop his pants and shoot up, right on main street. I'm disgusted with how the government has allowed this to happen. I took early retirement as a nurse because the hospital was expecting staff to hand over patients street drugs for them to use when out on pass, and even provided a special area for safe drug use. Sorry, but the bleeding heart approach doesn't work. You see it getting better?

[@hunter5369]

They voted for the leaders that passed laws to allow this to happen, so what'd you expect

[@patrickcowan8701]

It was in broad daylight. Is it safer under the darkness of night?

[@kathy4807]

Congrats to all the people that still support the NDP and the Greens. This will only get worse.

[@Fenthule]

safe consumption sites would have prevented this because they would not have been in that bathroom in the first damn place. Stop spreading absolutely false information. Look at the data. Safe consumption sites save lives and not just those of the addicts. They reduce crime by containing the addicts into an area instead of them spreading out and hiding in nooks and corners, spreading potentially dangerous altercations out across the whole city.

[@TheMcgojoh]

Smart comment. No drug use in PC Prov.

[@GoOutsidePeople]

They better get many years in prison for that, and the city should pay that worker millions for unsafe working conditions !

[@hackrabiyah]

Voters didn’t expect decriminalizing drug use. Sometimes all the politicians do this. We need discipline and criminalizing drug use.

[@TheMcgojoh]

Worked with Alcohol. No problems during prohibition, at all.

[@mbeth999]

My heart breaks for what this government has done to this country. But it was our complacency that has allowed these criminals to take over.

[@The66Leadfoot]

Trudeau's media was quite successful keeping things from us while encouraging liberal narratives.

[@debatecoachlachlanv.e.2687]

These people will still vote for more of this.

[@babycakez-j8b]

this country is going right down the toilet

[@travispolson6156]

To be real, most of these people willing to talk to global news about this matter have probably voted NDP or Liberal and have also supported billions of dollars going to Ukraine that's obviously much needed at home . As the WEF said, keep them distracted with drugs and video games .

[@ByGenerationsFM]

😂 😂 that is how Free Drug policy works , you vote for NDP . Your results will be

[@CrapKerouac]

Nanaimo has always been a scary place for as long as I can remember, don't blame the NDP.

[@Rocksteady-o5t]

This has been happening before that; pay better attention, seriously....

[@orsitheawesome]

I’m sorry, but knowing the system is SO VERY BROKEN, why would he approach them??!

[@icantwiththis]

They say puncture instead of stab. They STABBED him.

[@TomBrown-m3d]

The monster they created is turning on them...finally.

[@892303001]

The irony of the SDG logo in the thumbnail 😆

[@ginabeaulieu6390]

Blame trudeau and freelnd for that nightmare and horror this is coming for Ontario.

[@christinerobertson8538]

Yes, so sad❤😢

[@mockchicken4432]

Stabbed 'alot' by syringes? In other words, ' Multiple times '? Where do you get your writers from, TikTok?😂

[@ManicPixie813]

Truheaux's Canada

[@sfrwriter]

Keep voting for the woke left 😂😂😂

[@TheMcgojoh]

You'd rather the Yoke Right, as long as you have control of the leash, eh?

[@jykl608]

PP: "Axe the Tax," "Build the Homes," "Fix the Budget," and "Stop the Crime"

[@Fenthule]

"verb the noun" He won't do most of those things. Conservatives famously are ATROCIOUS as budgets - look at Harper who came into a surplus and left us in debt. pp is a corporate bootlicker. The only people he'll improve the lives of are the elites that already eat caviar on yachts while we hit up the food banks. Anyone voting for pp is voting against their own best interests. His track record of lobbying the government to make Galen Weston more billions says it all.

[@TheMcgojoh]

Empty rhetoric for empty heads. Common nonsense now!

[@John-s3y5r]

FJT

[@sinkutwireless]

Trudeau now needs to Ban Assault Syringes!!!!

[@MrKenng123]

Let's pray and hope that all economic indicators released will be worse than expected. Let's also hope that the Fed will not cut interest rate this year. Also hope European Central Bank will stop cutting interest rate.

[@BrandonvanMeeteren]

Liberals Trudeau Oh Canada, wake up

[@jeffros6739]

Oh Canada

[@on2thenextthing]

More like Uh Oh Canada.

[@BenjaminVostok]

Great description lol

[@vinyl4264]

u r all doing nothing

[@MrUranium238]

Keep voting Liberal

[@glenmcdonald3548]

Well, looks like the city in Nanaimo better start looking out for the workers

[@打了就跑不太好]

it will be dangerous to talk with a guy who has known what he is doing is unacceptable. because he is very into it and he will choose to fight for his own so called freedom of choice even though he knows he behavior might be wrong. it will be safer to talk with a civilized man but it is not welcome for him indeed. but it is the fastest way to make things change. never talk to the one who is falsely leaded should be recommended.

[@on2thenextthing]

And it would be smarter just to avoid them altogether.

[@LuigiAzsassin]

Don't mess with Pfizer employees, dude.

[@YardPrep00]

Gov employee, probably voted for this

[@dixoncider5046]

He was probably just looking for food

[@icantwiththis]

😂

[@Jock-i2n]

And the NDP was reelected 🤡 BC is making a mockery of Canada - Albertans

[@shoobydoobiemauiwowee]

There's a lot of childhood trauma leading to addictions in BC, the root being unsafe housing.

[@on2thenextthing]

At some point people need to take responsibility for their choices. It's not everyone else's fault.

[@Rocksteady-o5t]

Ok Dr Phil...
