An epidemic of trauma from a capitalistic world built on lies. We are witnessing the collapse of humanity. God bless to all those hurting and going through extremely hard times.
Looks like Kensington Philadelphia
Yeah its like same now

YUP
Should have seen it at the height of covid. There was so many people and so many tents you couldn’t even walk down a good portion of the sidewalk. They’ve broken up the tent cities and a lot of the mentally ill/drug addicted have spread out to other towns around the lower mainland.
@@andyconda5194 Thanks for Information Keep Up The Good Comments 👍 Salute
I thought it was getting bad in Ottawa Ontario Canada but this is next level, I have personally been to Kensington Philadelphia and I must say this is a easy second.
YUP 👍
Unfortunately what most outside of Canada don't know is that drugs are legal in Vancouver. Hastings St is middle of the poorest part of the city and so most homeless. They, drug addict and homeless,travel across Canada to get to Hastings for the warmer weather and drug culture. I personally have lost three friends to Hastings St. We try and try to get them home again but.... Hastings calls them back.😢😢😢
So it's party central is it? It looks to me like people using drugs to try to ease the suffering from being homeless. The reason Pollievre and others focus on the drug use is to demonize the homeless so that people will be eager to lock them up in private prisons and have them work for free like they do in the US. If people didn't want homelessness they shouldn't have voted to destroy the safety net we once had when there was almost no homelessness in Canada. This is a result of conservatives getting votes by promising to :"kick those lazy bums off welfare." People who never used to vote loved the idea of hurting people by voting. The cheapest solution is to restore the social safety net but people reject that outright, while having no problem spending ten times that amount to lock them up. Pandering to cruelty and cowardice, the main character traits of the right wing, caused this problem. Some Canadians just long to turn Canada into America, mainly because they are immoral and stupid.
I remember that name Hastings Street from 21 Jump street My Favorite Show Back in the Day Vancouver Canada and the Show Night Night Salute 👍 Love My Shows from Canada back in the day UP Town Philly 96 Olympic Boxing 🥊🥊
Hard to tell Vancouver from the Kensington district of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!
Couldn't agree more. At first I thought this was Kensington.
@@judya8392 In my opinion, if our country, AND Canada, keep going like they are now, with the drug epidemic, communist china will just be able to walk right in.
God Bless them All
I still havent figured out what today's "dope" is doing to people's backs (permanently), but it's crippling young people. Insane curvatures 😢
So, opposite of Earth
The dope that running the streets these days is Fentanyl, which is a medicine for helping with pain for cancer pateints and they abuse this drug many times in a day, that could be a reason
Tranq.
XYLAZINE. Freaking horse tranquilizer.
they are basically falling asleep while awake, if that makes any sense. What causes them to be hunched over instead of just falling is because they are still semi-conscious. This causes the person to exert enough force to remain standing.
@@famenotclout1103 i know right its so obvious whats causing it like you said being bent over while to spaced out to feel the warning pains of muscle + nerve damage.
Looks like the 'tranq' (aka zombie drug) is up in Vancouver too. So sad... 😢
Sad to see so many people's lives in shambles to the point they think getting high like that is a good idea or a way to relieve their pain and misery. 💔
I'm not putting you down but I couldn't walk through there without helping people that I seen struggling.
There's no good God's people over there.
Sad government we have today thrown the people out of the house.
Last time I was down there I was walking from Roger’s arena to Save On Meats and I was offered a three pack of T-bone steaks for $3 and numerous pairs of mismatched socks for an undetermined price. I got my Save On Meats and headed back and there was really no issue. The average civilian is pretty safe down there but there is the threat of being the victim of someone’s psychotic attack… and that threat goes for numerous places throughout the lower mainland and bc.
Povera gente 😢😢😢❤❤❤
Get it worse everyday all over the country Canada fall apart it’s a shame to see what these government doing to your country
Canada beutyfull country what is happening to you,God have mercy
Greed. We must save ourselves
If they would put half as much effort into getting clean as they do into getting a fix this problem would be over
It's a monumental effort few can get through. My ex died of a heroin overdose, and you just don't get it. Not that simple. Not at all.
I pulled into Domino's parking lot 2 weeks ago 5min from there, on Dundas st. There was a guy completely folded over with his pants down completely bare ass, with one of those large wheeling garbage cans beside him, with tons of wires all over the parking lot, like he got to high to strip the wires instead. What a scene, then of course he puts on an angry scene when I told him off about it and made him pick it all up. He could've got hurt the way he was talking. Ya I feel sorry for a lot of them and a lot of them are nice, but I won't tolerate that in my neighborhood either and I won't hesitate to be aggressive about it, when kids might be around, like that time very soon after. Just saying.
you are totally right when say about kids safet and also in the end of the day its a choice they have to take a step and fight their addiction. The government does not give a fuck about them
Yes there is a homeless population even in canada
A lot of them
Every country on this planet has homeless,
Its not good but,
Utopía is not attainable.
Hope thay all get the help thay need some day soon...😢
Hope is sometimes all we need
The whole world seems to be back in pre-1900 times! Why are the powers to be not making use of all the success mankind had made in the last 100 years?
They did. The CEO and executives now earn 1000 times what front line workers earn instead of only 50 times--although they can't tell the difference because they were already so rich there wasn't anything they couldn't afford.
I wonder if all these people walking by realise that they are only one step away from being in this position. Something as simple as loosing their job could potentially put them right there. Sad
THIER WOULD BE LESS CRIME LESS DEATH IF PEOPLE WERE TREATED LIKE HUMAN BEINGS AND WERE GIVEN HOPE AND HELP WED HAVE LESS OF WHAT IM SEEING HERE AND OTHER PLACES ITS THE GOVERMENTS JOB TO FIX SOCIETY NOT KEEP IT BROKEN
we are missing the "big picture" here.
Those in power are doing it on purpose I reckon. They have such contempt for their citizens they want to finish them off
@@Englishsea24 agreed.
我相信把他們全集中起來醫療訓練。改造教育、強制執行．如同犯人監獄漸好才能假釋放寬強健正常才能出獄，也許可救神救，人救，也得自救否則自尋死路！在外一樣浪費人力資源且妨礙治安影響共眾社會市容！
Its a big step, government would never do that
It's everywhere now fuckin sad😢
its a life, its a choise, not mine... just doing nothing every day..waiting for?
Drugs are addictive
There’s a whole lot of mental illness down there to go along with the drug addictions. These people need a LOT of help.
...next Dope!
And to think Canada used to be a dream destination for so many. This is hell on Earth.
Canada is beautiful no doubt its just m showing dark side too
Quelle déchéance, toucher a toutes ces drogues c'est de la merde quand les gens le comprendront, c'est l'enfermement comme une prison dont tu ne sortira jamais !!!
it looks just like kensington philly

Poor lost souls God help them 🙏
Yeah
Don’t do drugs for starters.
Amen, amen, amen.
As it warms up, it only gets worse..zombies come out..
Not good, what a human could be doing for society?
Just boarded a cruise ship out of Vancouver cruise port and didn’t see how bad it was in that city so sad
"Lets legalise drugs"!
Omg drugs are legal in Vancouver. This is what happens. I live in Toronto, Ontario and lost three friends to Hastings St.
How is this okay? Sad!!
rl least there not feeling any pain for a few moments
thats nice compared to granville street
This is east hasting, nothing worst than that believe me
@@vancouverstreets420 try granville street boy
Try Granville? Boy? What are you talking about, there's far more of this at the Hastings/ Main area, Granville is close in proximity and that's it. You obviously don't live here, plus why bother saying even if you were right, they're so close anyway, but you don't know what you're talking about @@glen6945
We visited Vancouver in 2019 , such a beautiful place ..
addiction is a choice thing , people know how they’ll end up once they start , however they start, and nearly all end up dead .
@@glen6945Boy? You sound like one of them
Welcome to canada where rent is crazy high
The graffiti and odd placements of security vehicles are an ironic touch for the whole thing going on here!
Those pavements need serious pressure-washing
Just another day in Vancouver....
That is low Canadian gov.
That’s why it’s unbelievable to me that there are no mental institutions to help these
People… outrageous… politics is failing not only in Canada but in
The whole
World. It’s a shame
Really
LORD you have allowed me to see with my own eyes America fall especially white America trump supporters with that we want our country back that we lost.
I feel you
Are these real people
Brains!
No, this is fake
No, they are robots.
😂😂😂 brainless😮
I was there last november and it was very scary
And reslly want to run to the uber i call
Is sooo scary
Looks like birkenhead to me
thats nice compared to the yellers on granville street
I must admit there were a couple of sights in this video that made me laugh my head off, but at the same time, this really is tragic. Ive never seen anything like this. What on earth were they thinking of legalising all drugs? Does the government want to kill its people? Obviously 😮
Понимающие Путина)))
Teabaggers heaven
The walking dead but so sad .
And you keep voting him in.
Isn't it to cold for homeless people in the winter time???? Especially at night....Where are all the social programs for These people?? Oh, Canada is a socialist state..
Во как их штырит от ветра Свободы и дЭмократии. 😂

Zombieland
Don’t call them zombies, they are human beings, they choose drugs over life, but we are nobody to judge, Can you dig it??
@sylviathompson100 no I don't dig it cause when they are shooting up in public parks leaving needles on playgrounds or in people's yards or stealing from people who work for a living and doing nothing but causing problems in every city or community there is nothing to dig.
Утилизация на государственном уровне.
