- Coverage of Regent Park Focus on CBC in 1997. How the organization tackles the negative stigmas about the #RegentPark neighborhood.
CBC owns the full rights to this video clip from 1997 on the Regent Park Focus Youth Media Arts Centre.
A kid named Jason who lived in North Regent also attended the Focus center. With Adonis and folks. He was born and raised in Regent Park. Today he is still currently touring Asia and Europe as an artist every year. Proud of him. He lives between Zurich and Toronto now. I bumped into him at a Moore lands camp reunion he actually showed up too! He goes by Erbie Couture. Adonis is a great man. Helped plenty of Youth during the late 80's and 90's. Bless them all
Seems like such a beautiful place. You can feel the vibe.
🔥 I remember my buddy bringing me to one of his video sessions. The place was a nice underground haven.
Nice one M.G thanks 4 your help.
Back when regent was regent
Now its a conservative housing and most low-income Canadians are out.
@@allenjohnson950 lol what?
Regant is more fucked now than back then
@@allenjohnson950 good it’s better that way.
@@allenjohnson950 People weren't kicked out. They were re-located temporarily during demolition and new construction, after which they were brought back to their gorgeous, expensive, well-built and well-appointed brand-new apartments and townhouses. All expenses paid. Same extremely low rent as before. Immensely more attractive and comfortable. _Housing project stigma gone._ Suddenly much lower crime.
And your beef is that _it's "conservative"?_ I can see someone has never lived there. Someone seems a lot more like a TA at York University.😂 I'd say the poor English and bad punctuation argues that.
In live here when I was a kid
I think you owe me 1 now old friend.
Biggz Was Here. 33.
See ya stamp everywhere #33
And they helped everyone by kicking them out, sending them to other impoverished areas and building condos in our memory. Greedpigs.
Wrong. People weren't kicked out. They were re-located temporarily, all expenses paid, during demolition and new construction, _after which they were brought back_ to their gorgeous, expensive, well-built and well-appointed brand-new apartments and townhouses. Same extremely low rent as before. Immensely more attractive and comfortable. Housing project stigma gone. Suddenly much lower crime.
How on earth can a beautiful new place be built unless people temporarily vacate? Who are you, David Copperfield? What a total L attitude. _Super-L._
@dixonpinfold2582 it's gentrification 101. Those expenses are a fraction of the profit they make off the "mixed income" housing they're building. Nd they know when u "temporarily relocate" ppl for over a decade they're not likely to move back because they've now adjusted nd moved on. So now u can pick n choose who lives there. This is textbook socionomics.
@@nother_hed (1) "Over a decade" is wrong.
(2) If people really did develop a preference for Scarborough while they were out there, so what? It's all about freedom of choice. They must really like it if they turn down a brand-new basically luxury apartment downtown.
(3) I can't believe having such a poor attitude to life, looking upon generous treatment as some kind of degrading oppression. Unbelievable, unacceptable, unbearable. Talk about wanting to get paid to eat ice cream and receive a trophy afterwards!
Tell it to your TA at York!
@@nother_hed I was just discussing exactly what you are saying.
Spot on!
@@BOOSETO if they didn't value the land they'd be happy leaving those buildings to rot. Same with PO. As the city grows they do it to every block and community. In Montreal ppl fight for the preservation of their neighborhoods. In toronto we just roll over nd let it happen.
Yo that beat is from "Empire Staters" by b-one HUGE CHUNE !!!
