  1. There’s a simple enough solution to this: no treatment for overdose takers unless they are somehow willing to foot the bill on their own, and that includes the trip to the emergency ward. It won’t take long for the pressure to ease.

  2. The guys at 8 Hall joke about tattooing foreheads for a “Three strikes and you’re out” policy.

    Seriously though, their body language and the looks on their faces in that picture tell you how much they despise both their DEI hire ‘chief’ and David Eby.

    1. Fred,
      No shite on the body language. Good observation. I feel for the fire guys (mostly first responders for that overdose shit and messes on highways and old people falling down in their kitchen). and admire their stoicism despite it all.
      Oh, and Eby, given his height, would have made a great fireman, if only he had beefed up and been a real man.
      Too bad he is just a lanky suit with a face that suggests he lost his dog, or his better self.
      I shouldn’t judge, but don’t we all?

        Me too. I could never do what they do. And the City of Vancouver doesn’t have their backs, either, despite their reputation and widespread admiration by the public…they are rather cold towards their firefighters. Not openly hostile, just somewhat adversarial. I asked one of the guys about that, and the answer was “they think we’re too expensive”. Certainly wasn’t helped by what I was doing at the time, working on the $200k+ installations of women’s washrooms in various halls. They were happy a few years prior when I was installing backup generators just before the Olympics.

        Spot on. I remember Eby when he was a Downtown Eastside ambulance chaser (aka a poverty pimp). I believe he was involved in an incident where a street person walked into a coffee shot where police were just getting ready to leave, did a double-take and took off running. The cops chased him into an alley and were gaining on him until one cop stopped the other and pointed out someone leaning around a corner with a camera. It was an obvious setup, and quite the PR battle started later when it was pointed out that someone could easily have been hurt or even killed by such a stupid stunt.
