Sadly people are avoiding the Byward Market and it’s businesses. It’s not a pleasant place to visit now.
Theres homeless tents and smells like piss
That's me like others. I used to love going downtown. I stay close to home now. Our downtown used to be a great place to go.
Please don't let Ottawa turn into San Francisco or Vancouver... 🙏
The Canadian obsession of always using US comparisons.
too late
Vancouver
@@alexbr550 lol, inferiority complex much?
@@ropro9817 That would be you people. Always so obsessed with the US, using the US to make references and comparisons. It seems like you people are implying you're not worthy or something or are less because y'all are never the point of reference.
Every city in Canada needs this kind of initiative, it's sad to see what drugs are doing to our cities our country our world. This drug epidemic is world wide now so sad
I appreciate the efforts
Police officers are not meant for this purpose. There should be a seperate unit that deals with medical emergencies from drug overdoses. I wish we still saw an effort in prevention. Is there any money put into preventing teens or adults from starting? Let the police find the dealers.
It would seem you missed the overall point and information this news piece conveys. There is a 'Seperate Unit' (which is the point of this video) a dedicated team of EMS heros who are assigned to providing immediate emergency care to the vulnerable population of people who are unhoused and who cope with trauma often via drug use.
@@kimberleymansfield1099 Yes. Not sure how this was missed when it was literally stated in the video
Trudeau didn't decriminalize marijauna, he legalized it. People under 18 can't vote but they will give free strong drugs and paraphernalia to a 13 yr old as " safe supply". My neighbour has two girls, a preteen and a teen with his two marijauna plants on the front porch. These children are growing up with this value of using drugs to relax . Yes, this is not a opium based drug and people aren't violent using it but we have become a society promoting alcohol etc for a good , relaxing time.
These dealers are not in a dark corner somewhere. They can hang out at your local bar or restaurant. 😢
I lived to Ottawa 12 years ago into the market. I moved only 70 kms away and still work there and visit all the time but haven’t been to the market in 5 years maybe just because parking is crap but had no clue this was going on. My mind is blown
Happy to see this initiative.
Wow cbc covering news
Moved out of my condo in the market because of this.
Orleans is much less stressful and not that garbage in the video.
Why they haven't done this in Vancouver is beyond me. Send help - it's gotten chaotic here with no end in sight. These people need it just as much, if not more. Our streets are getter wilder by the day. People are literally defacating in the streets. They don't even hide doing drugs here.
When I was a kid, I thought saving a life was a big deal. It doesn't feel that way anymore. Ya get hardened by the frequency.
"sometimes wonder if saving same people over and over is worth it...if they did all OD would that not take care of the backlog?"....yes awful thought to say out loud and a viewpoint i have been listening to others around me in this affluent hood in old ottawa south say similar things..
Good report.
A very interesting news report.
Ottawa police are a lot nicer than Southern ontario police
Sad to see what the Ottawa Market has become.
Blessed to be a Canadian!!
Down town Montreal
very sad what this once great country has become
so sad
Montreal who is taking care our homeless
Do a thing on the homeless by the cummings bridge and why are you not bringing food?I carry old grand dads cookies. Not much but something.Just a thought.
This is such a waste of our resources. As a taxpayer i am fed up with the government wasting my money on this situation. Stop. Stop forcing our police force, paramedics, firemen/women to deal with a group of people that are not interested in changing what they are doing. Put the individuals with mental illness back in institutions and let the rest fend for themselves. Tired of my money being thrown at a no win situation. Stop. No one is forcing them to do what they do, it is a CHOICE and ALL of us need to be accountable for the choices we make.
Ignorance is bliss. 😂 clearly your not a first responder or have ever had a loved one struggle with addiction. I love that bubble for you.
@@sydneyhlucas actually i have but but clearly for you ignorance is bliss right.
LOOK what liberalism has done to Canada, it used to be so RESPECTABLE at one time.
👍
Tell that to Trudeau
Why drug is legal in Canada?
This is what you get for voting left wing
If you think libs and cons are any different besides messaging I feel bad for you sheep.
