1. I see nothing wrong here. Girl needs to lose some lbs and so she’s going for a jog. Probably a New Year’s resolution or something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

   1. Why aren’t they ever good looking?

2. My Canadian son-in-law says that’s only a “few blocks” in Hongcouver … no big deal.

   1. Only a matter of time before it’s confined to the entire city limits like San Francisco.

      1. What? It’s only the “Tenderloin” … oh … and all of SOMA … and City Hall Plaza … and …

         Nevermind. Yeah … the cancer spreads.

3. The harm reductionists get their cut of yer money, what happens after that is not of concern.
   The drug company, the wholesaler, the distributor, the harm reductionist get paid.
   The junkie is on his own.
   The socialists have done what they said they would do.
   The plebeians are good with that.
   The socialists did not get to power all by themselves.
   End of story.

4. Well, Vancouver and the burbs voted for it last year.
   GOOD and HARD! Let it continue to fester, while the simps that vote NDP continue to believe in the lies of “harm reduction” the NDP and its Pimps sells.
   Anyone with common sense knows the entire concept is BS, from Day One.

   1. You have to be highly educated and credentialed to have bought into this monstrously stoopid social experiment and of course live nowhere near the inevitable outcome. As a pragmatic libertarian (libertardian as one wag put it) I say scoop ‘em all up, install ‘em in barracks, cold-turkey ‘em with of course medical/health care support.

      1. It reduced deaths and transmission of diseases. This is better than anything that’s come of drug prohibition.

      2. totally agree.. and that’s the way that things were done at one time. Just like conscripting able bodied men sitting in a bar to fight wildfires, it’s a dated concept. that being said, it’s time to revive the concept of ” for the public good”.

5. Naheed Nenshi (new Alberta NDP Leader) has just announced his candidancy to take over the seat of Rachel Notley (the old NDP Leader) in Edmonton Strathcona. Since the NDP champions Safe Consumption Sites and economic sharing, Nenshi should set
   an example and dedicate either his ex-Mayor of Calgary pension (highest pay in Canada) or his MLA pay to a Safe Consumption Site for his Stahcona constituency only. The NDP should put THEIR money and society where their morals are.

   1. A safe ndp seat. He’ll win in Strathcona.

      1. No doubt. If Karl Marx were to come back from the dead, he’d undoubtedly tell the Alberta NDP to ease up on the commie shit because it’s making them look bad.

6. Street Cattle. Every city has them. The NDP would and does create them if there weren’t any to provide for. Poverty pimps live to seek virtue from tending the herds.

   1. the homeless “industry” is very large now for civil servants

7. I used to think street people (hobos in ol timey days) were the canaries in the freedom coal mine.
   Now they seem like the societal death toll of Big Brother.

   1. Hobos had rules, and expectations, don’t think you could say the same about the current homeless.

   2. It’s the toll of NIMBY and zoning and the resulting lack of housing construction.

8. Wonder what the average life-span for a typical drug user is and if they affect mortality rate statistics?

   1. This varies enormously with the type of drug taken, dose concentration and the frequency. The average is a 15-year loss of lifespan but the variation is enormous because of these factors.

   2. According to the stats people, life expectancy for addicts is 14-16 years less than a non-addict. I find that hard to believe.
      I am all in favor of NOT allowing the usual bleeding hearts from administering naloxone to every OD’ing addict. I knew a paramedic who worked the DES for 25 years, she said sometimes they had to “rescue” the same person three times in the same welfare Wednesday week from an OD. They were taken to St.Paul’s or VGH at great expense, and released as soon as they woke up.
      There IS no rehab, and there never will be, it’s too expensive. If we decided to forgo our military budget and foreign aid, would that be enough to solve the problem, or not? If we are going to offer MAID to depressed seniors why not offer the same to addicts whose life is never going to turn around?

      Call me a fascist, but I am sick of seeing the same policies fail, as they have for the last thirty years, but are still the MO of every government at every level, no matter the color of their tie.

      1. Even if there was official ‘Rehab’, there is an ever present truth regarding sobriety.

         You cannot force sobriety on someone and expect it to work. They can go through the motions to appease the system, but, if they don’t buy into it (and why would they?), they go straight back into the addiction madness.
         This is why all this yakking from the socialist dogooders is just so much horse hockey.
         Rehab won’t work on most addicts. They are permanently brain damaged. Let them continue to their Darwinian conclusion, it’s the quickest conclusion.

9. Don’t call them “addicts” lest they feel “stigmatized”. Let them lie half naked in a pool of their own piss and vomit with their dignity intact. It’s the socialist way.

10. Glad I haven’t seen pictures of how it was before they reduced the harm.

    1. Tooney
       Come to terana, and I’ll take you fer a tour.

11. Was dude threatening to inject her with Ozempic?

12. It’s been like that for longer than harm reduction has even been around. Just build more housing and legalize drugs already.

13. Every morning two brown guys sell crack and meth out of the Tim Hortons at Spadina and Dundas in Toronto, cops could give a ##ck.
    The nutjobs crack customers in the Tim Hortons with no pants on and worse.
    City of Toronto guy that drives the little vacume golf cart is a regular buyer.
    How useless are our police?
