One really depressing thing about London is how many people have moved here in a short amount of time. Our population went from 300k to half a million in less than 10 years. We’re nicknamed “forest city” but we don’t really have many forests anymore. All knocked down for new subdivisions. It really sucks.

I have lived in London for the last four years. I have been sent all over the country for my job. All I can say is that I thought London was bad until I saw how depressing, dirty, and drugged up our own capital city was. I was in Ottawa for three months, and never in my life would I have ever thought that our capital would look like a scene out of The Walking Dead. When you see people nodding off in front of the House of Commons, and stadium sized crowds of people laying half dead on the sidewalks of Rideau St, it changes your perspective of the country you once knew.
You are so correct about our capital. I was there in May and could not believe what is happening. Literally two blocks from parliament nothing but Zombies. First night there walked by two that were out, the women come out of it and tried to wake the gentleman, no kit on them. Sad to say he never made it.
Getting what they voted for time and time again. Hate hearing liberals cry when this is what they voted for. Quit your belly aching liberals, you got what you wanted.
Because the wasps and yuppies feel comfortable in their wealth and distance from issues, so they vote with feefees, thinking they’re “helping”. I cannot think of any other logical reason to vote for this insanity. Oddly, there’s only ever one liberal sign our entire street, and I barely see ndp through the city. Of course I see them but not in the numbers that says they’re popular. Yet they “win” all the time.
what a cowardly way of thinking, so because someone else has decided lawlessness is perfectly fine it gives you the ability to watch the chaos and destruction with a clean contentious . "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"
@@SquarishLink What can be done when the stupid voters of London vote for this? Liberals ruin everything. Until they are gone the problem will remain and get worse.
This is great local journalism. This is what we need to expose it all and make them be held accountable for what the money is actually being spent on and prove if it is actually helping or not
Try stopping immigration, Canadian economy will crash, Canadian housing prices will fall so dramatically that people will lose jobs and still won’t be able to afford a house, this guy (Harrison Faulkner) does not know economics or how the country runs. If your situation is bad you are not working hard enough, do you think these druggies are druggies because some immigrant stole their job in Tim Hortons ? If you had these druggies in Tim Hortons he’ll probably spike your drink with drugs or spit in it and Canadian companies would fail 😂, how did you think the actual people of the land felt when your ancestors invaded, you please leave the country and go back to which ever European nation your ancestors came from before telling others to leave.
You can't fix London Ontario even if you stopped immigration. That city was like for decades, even in 2010 when I was there. I think even then I heard on the radio that Windsor and London were the worst cities of Ontario.
The women talking in front of inner-city health has no idea what she's talking about. Homeless don't want places to live. They have tried that. Homeless were given places to live. They trashed the places and went back out on the streets. The provinces never should have shut down the Psychiatric hospitals. A lot of Homeless need to be there.
That is part of the issue , seems the government would rather put the mentally ill on the street then in a hospital where they can be looked after and not be a danger to themselves and others , another part of the issue is the government is willing to give immigrants 2500 a month just to come here but wont give that to our elderly and Disabled that .. If the elderly and disabled were given 2500 a month to live on that reduce the issue to about half , open the institutions back up and that would be anther 20% of the problem solved
Yes bring back the physic wards.. give back the streets to the people that pay taxes and give small business a break instead of giving money to poeple that never lived here in the first place .. it's only going to get worst until we physically take the streets back
London's Psychiatric hospital shut down like 30 years ago now and your right it's affected this city very badly since, people with severe mental conditions walking the streets of London in checked and that's fucking scary. I live here btw
They can also start spending some of those tax dollars on actual city projects that help build a better city like alternative transit, the monorail was a great idea and here we are with horrible traffic and car accidents every where. Or how our city has turned down government funding several times now that could be used for upgrades to the city all because they want to keep the "small town" assets, it's strangling our city to death.
Welcome to my home city, born and raised. Was never a paradise, but it used to be a good city. Now it's an absolute nightmare. Housing is completely unaffordable, barely any jobs, the jobs available pay nowhere near what is required to live, the city is flooded with drugs and homeless encampments, housing and jobs are getting harder to find as there are tens of thousands of Indian migrants moving here every year and DEI initiatives (London is a liberal city) prioritize them. This is Trudeau's Canada. Any Canadian who reads this, this is going to be all of Canada if we don't get rid of him.
Unfortunately it doesn't matter who our PM and MPPs and all that lovely stuff are they only want the money in their pockets and power and people vote for them, Conservative people still bitched about Harper don't vote I hate to break it to yall but whoever next after Trudeau will do the same thing and so on and so on just like past will not change. It's really not hard to give people like us money just like they like to do to fund wars and their pockets have I said enough facts already lol 🤭🤭🤭🤭
....these free drugs are to help battle the overdoses, it doesn’t cause them. They are giving out pharmaceutical grade morphine, which you would have to use a lot of to overdose. People have been overdosing at increasing rates for the last 10 years since this illicit fentanyl started coming from China They do this because the alternative is, the addict will use illicit fentanyl made in Mexico. They will overdose and if they don’t pass away, they end up costing the health care system tons of money in emergency treatment. This is the cheaper & better option, give them safer drugs, pay the cost up front.....cause if you don’t they’ll use dangerous drugs and cost more later And you have it totally confused, as does this report. Giving them free drugs DECREASES crime. They don’t need to steal to get money for their fix, they get it for free from government, instead of buying from a street dealer. It’s been proven by other places that heave done this, and the data proves it . This report is all anecdotal
Susan Stevenson is a brave strong woman. We've never seen a councilor like her before. She truly listens and tries to help and is asking the right questions. Thank you so much Susan!
I am a straight white male who has asked to speak to her facet o face and she made it clear to me that as a straight white christen male that I have been declared NON HUMAN in LONDON HATES WHITE PEOPLE CANADA
In all honesty, I must say that I thought things would get bad with Trudeau at the helm, but I really couldn’t imagine it would be this bad. This is what economic and societal collapse looks like.
I moved out of London 3 years ago after living there for over 30 years. I left after watching London die slowly due to the addicts destroying the downtown. Human waste, fights and the mental health issues make it unliviable. Best thing I ever did was move with my son to the country.
I have been speaking out about this for a year now. Born and raised in London. They have destroyed our once beautiful city. So happy to see you reporting on this Harrison. Dr. Andrea Sereda needs to have her medical license revoked.
I used to live there over 15 years ago and Adelaide and Dundas wasn't dangerous to walk at night. An old money and white conservative town gone liberal and woke. What a sh#thole it has become. Won't ever go and visit my family screw that! They always visit me
Gee, my wife and I walked across Dundas and Adelaide the other night. Great Indian restaurant there. Friendly people, great service. Picked up some food to take home! You must be confused...
Sure there are still good services in the area but it didn't have that degree of decay 15 years ago. As one could see in the video along with the sad lost souls. Or are you saying that A I. was used in the video.
I agree, it began slowly but suddenly accelerated so fast that we are taken off guard. Worst thing is that there is no hope someone will push the brake.
The safe supply is insane, but the bigger problem is the cost of living. 20 years ago, a person working service could afford a one room apartment on a service wage. (I paid $450 a month for small but hip pad as recently as 2005.) It was a regular city then, and poor people had at least a chance. I have no idea how much housing costs now, but I bet it's way to expensive for a low income person to have any independence. This drives people to hopelessness and makes them more likely to end up on the streets and doing the junk. And it all comes from increasing the population artificially through...you guessed it, immigration.
Yes, to the cost living being a bigger problem no to immigration causing the problem even tho it doesn't help said problem it exacerbates it. Willy immigration is not to blame it is lifting rent controls off of vacant rental properties while freezing welfare rates and service workers wages. Immigrants are not responsible for Canadian politicians' neoliberal policies that only benefits the wealthy via sky high rents and tax cuts do to shredding the social safety net. That's on us for not getting rid of this plutocratic system decades ago.
That same apartment that was $450 in 2005 would now be at least $1200, probably more like $1500. My apartment in 2006 was $620 in Hamilton. Now the same units in same building go for $1750
Currently in my building in London, a 1 bedroom apartment goes for 1500. When I moved in just 3 years ago my 2 bedroom cost me 1200. The rise of cost of living is getting out of hand and every building that goes up is owned by slum lords who are charging exorbitant prices.
@@alaalrashaeideh1154 there are single parents living in tents while working who are not addicts. Housing is not affordable. Even for people who are not addicted to drugs and who are employed.
You are low acuity then. Get a bed at the Ark for 4 days in a row and ask to be transferred to the Cronyn Warner building on Queen and William. It's open 24/7 and residents that follow the rules there have been transitioned out into housing. Great program!
@@StealthNinja7 Yeah. Our own. People that didn't choose to live here... because the people that are born elsewhere are now taking up low income housing. As well as recieving allowance for food, clothes, etc, etc. These "junkees" are on the streets because there is no housing for them. We're being invaded. Not by bombs and infantry. By drugs, and immigrants. I bet you're one of them. Lol
As a resident of London who has lived all over Ontario and visited all over the country from coast to coast, simply put, yes. Yes it is the most depressing city in the country.
London, Ontario looks just as bad off as Vancouver/ Victoria. Absolutely disgusting.. That lady picking her meth sores as she's being interviewed 🤢🤮 Thanx Liberals. Thanx Trudeau.
He is just highlighting the downtown core, I agree the downtown is in trouble but the entire city doesn't look like that. I live here and there are some very nice areas in the city.
@@bvictoria6605 I honestly think so.. From what I've seen Vancouver and Victoria devolved into, it's like a third world in some parts of both cities. Downtown Victoria is completely lost. A no go zone.
@@Daisy38516 Where? There are trudeau towns everywhere in this city. There isn't a single establishment in this city not being robbed blind. There are zombies everywhere you look. People blacked out on the sidewalks, the bus shelters, the banks, zombies playing in traffic all tweaked out, parks and playgrounds are uninhabitable, the zombie army is allowed to congregate near schools, peoples properties being robbed at night, vandalized, cars being stolen, police have been ordered to do nothing about it. Do we live in the same city?
@@Daisy38516 Its more then just downtown Take a stroll down wellington street toward White Oaks mall , or how about from Dundas and talbot all the way upto the airport. Even Wortley Village has been infested . My house is on the outskirts of town on 10 hectors of land , and if it wasn't for a high fence around my property you would see me wearing red long johns straw hat chasing people away with a double barreled sawed off shot gun to keep them from setting up a tent city on my property .
“We” don’t. The only way a person can kick this addiction is coming to his senses at the very bottom of that pit. These people will never find themselves at that point precisely because all these woke do-gooders keep “helping” them. It is clearly a woman run world. And you are witnessing the consequences.
My mother worked as a dispatcher for u-need-a-cab, I want to cry when i go down to that area of London, She worked so hard at the ark aid street mission to help these people and to see her memory be this really hurts
Interestingly, I had a coffee with one of the people who was a big driver of bringing in safe supply here. He said it’s one of the biggest regrets of his life.
I grew up in London Ontario. Back in the 90s, you could go for a walk in the middle of the night and the sketchiest people you might run into were drunk students.
I live here. I have two small children . Some good neighbors. We're scared to be outside it's a constant threat. My kids can't go out front to play. Can't use our own back yard. And for all the parks in our area can't be used. The government does not care about anything other then feeding addiction. There not helping, they are contributing for their own benefits. Thank you for your report. We all need your voice, we don't have one.

@@Ynalaw Meanwhile highly qualified people who were born in Canada are rejected because of their skin tone, and you can't figure out why you're not wanted. Go away!
When I was a teenager I would get dropped off downtown and hang out all day, now a teenager would likely be robbed and/or assaulted. London used to be beautiful and clean, it has become a cesspool resembling the third world.
London Ontario has become an unsafe place to visit or reside in. The only thing worse than London's sad state is the utter failure / incompetence of the LONDON POLICE DEPARTMENT.
yeah, just carrying on its old tradition of ineptitude, incompetence, mediocrity, corruption, bullying... The 80s and 90s. where d'ya think this good Dominion got good ol Julian Fantino?
Who profits most from "safe supply" and what is the true relationship they have with our corrupt governments. Knowing this would help us understand this madness.
Thank you for covering the horrendous condition of London and its massive drug and homeless issues which has grown exponentially in the last 10 years. I am going to leave this city as soon as I can.
moved right by this area in '08 and rolled in on a guy shooting up in the basement stairs. its only gotten worse. heard from people lots of street people kill one another and it never makes the news. something is rotten in London, this is all someones plan.
I moved back in 2013, you are right, it has changed so much in 10 years. From 2013 - 2016 it was still really nice, I noticed around 2018 - 2019 it started to get too big and busy, with lots of people from other towns moving in and immigrants. London doesn't know if it wants to be a cosmopolitan city, or be a small town / city. It is failing on both ends, falling short of being a real city, or a small town. Places I use to walk for quiet now always have people around, it is hard to escape the public like before, lots of garbage, noise, dirty streets / sidewalks, not as clean as the past either.
@@OppsOpp his point is, a lot of money and time is spent on validating people's sexuality and, in some cases, complete delusions, while they spread hard drugs and barely provide funding for things that are actually important. A rainbow coloured monument is not a fucking priority.

Ever thought; instead of giving them drugs, maybe give them treatment?
Everybody thinks that but the government keeps slashing funding for programs.
@@Chunkypumpkinhead lots of funding for "Save supplies" though.
@@ImpulseToAdrenaline Well that hasn't been cut yet, but it's about to be I would imagine. Unfortunately at this point it looks like they're going to cut the program, and replace it with more nothing.
I have lived in London for the last four years. I have been sent all over the country for my job. All I can say is that I thought London was bad until I saw how depressing, dirty, and drugged up our own capital city was. I was in Ottawa for three months, and never in my life would I have ever thought that our capital would look like a scene out of The Walking Dead. When you see people nodding off in front of the House of Commons, and stadium sized crowds of people laying half dead on the sidewalks of Rideau St, it changes your perspective of the country you once knew.
You are so correct about our capital. I was there in May and could not believe what is happening. Literally two blocks from parliament nothing but Zombies. First night there walked by two that were out, the women come out of it and tried to wake the gentleman, no kit on them. Sad to say he never made it.
I would suggest that Brantford, Ontario, is running neck and neck with London for this shameful title.
I’m sorry to hear this
Where is the Brockinator?? (read sarcasm)
Oshawa is just as bad
Theres plenty of this in Canada..London isnt unique ...FJT
Hamilton also coming right up!
The Autism Society Support of London is right next door. How frightening for parents who are desperate to help their child.
Liberal NDP run city, London's electorate voted for this.
Fucking university towns. They are so fucked up in every way.
Getting what they voted for time and time again. Hate hearing liberals cry when this is what they voted for. Quit your belly aching liberals, you got what you wanted.
Because the wasps and yuppies feel comfortable in their wealth and distance from issues, so they vote with feefees, thinking they’re “helping”. I cannot think of any other logical reason to vote for this insanity. Oddly, there’s only ever one liberal sign our entire street, and I barely see ndp through the city. Of course I see them but not in the numbers that says they’re popular. Yet they “win” all the time.
what a cowardly way of thinking, so because someone else has decided lawlessness is perfectly fine it gives you the ability to watch the chaos and destruction with a clean contentious .
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"
@@SquarishLink What can be done when the stupid voters of London vote for this? Liberals ruin everything. Until they are gone the problem will remain and get worse.
This is great local journalism. This is what we need to expose it all and make them be held accountable for what the money is actually being spent on and prove if it is actually helping or not
Problem...................solution
Housing. Stop immigration
Hospital waits. Stop immigration
Crime. Stop immigration
Pierre hear us!!!
the elite hate you
Tank the economy - Stop immigration.
Population decline…. Make babies? Or stop immigration?
Try stopping immigration, Canadian economy will crash, Canadian housing prices will fall so dramatically that people will lose jobs and still won’t be able to afford a house, this guy (Harrison Faulkner) does not know economics or how the country runs. If your situation is bad you are not working hard enough, do you think these druggies are druggies because some immigrant stole their job in Tim Hortons ? If you had these druggies in Tim Hortons he’ll probably spike your drink with drugs or spit in it and Canadian companies would fail 😂, how did you think the actual people of the land felt when your ancestors invaded, you please leave the country and go back to which ever European nation your ancestors came from before telling others to leave.
You can't fix London Ontario even if you stopped immigration. That city was like for decades, even in 2010 when I was there. I think even then I heard on the radio that Windsor and London were the worst cities of Ontario.
The women talking in front of inner-city health has no idea what she's talking about. Homeless don't want places to live. They have tried that. Homeless were given places to live. They trashed the places and went back out on the streets. The provinces never should have shut down the Psychiatric hospitals. A lot of Homeless need to be there.
That is part of the issue , seems the government would rather put the mentally ill on the street then in a hospital where they can be looked after and not be a danger to themselves and others , another part of the issue is the government is willing to give immigrants 2500 a month just to come here but wont give that to our elderly and Disabled that .. If the elderly and disabled were given 2500 a month to live on that reduce the issue to about half , open the institutions back up and that would be anther 20% of the problem solved
Yes bring back the physic wards.. give back the streets to the people that pay taxes and give small business a break instead of giving money to poeple that never lived here in the first place .. it's only going to get worst until we physically take the streets back
Would be less expensive and better for the addicts and for the cities if psychiatric hospitals were reopened.
So sad but there is some truth to this, you are right
London's Psychiatric hospital shut down like 30 years ago now and your right it's affected this city very badly since, people with severe mental conditions walking the streets of London in checked and that's fucking scary. I live here btw
London needs to close it down.
Thank you for the well balanced and professional journalism - what a refreshing change!
As an addict, I have never believed in the 'safe supply' program. I live and work in London, ON and witness the true outcome of these programs.
It’s an unmitigated disaster. Stop throwing my tax dollars at junkies, to perpetuate their addiction.
They can also start spending some of those tax dollars on actual city projects that help build a better city like alternative transit, the monorail was a great idea and here we are with horrible traffic and car accidents every where. Or how our city has turned down government funding several times now that could be used for upgrades to the city all because they want to keep the "small town" assets, it's strangling our city to death.
When London was run by Conservatives, I felt safe. This is my City, and I cannot believe how the Liberals have destroyed it.
Among countless others.
London was beautiful and prosperous very busy and safe even at night
I was in London Ontario 15 years ago and it didn't look anything like this. Good job liberals.
That’s the liberal plan destroy lives with handouts when will people wake up it is ridiculous now
@@wrongthinker350 they really only showed the bad areas. They did go through and chop a bunch of the heritage trees down though.
Welcome to my home city, born and raised. Was never a paradise, but it used to be a good city. Now it's an absolute nightmare. Housing is completely unaffordable, barely any jobs, the jobs available pay nowhere near what is required to live, the city is flooded with drugs and homeless encampments, housing and jobs are getting harder to find as there are tens of thousands of Indian migrants moving here every year and DEI initiatives (London is a liberal city) prioritize them. This is Trudeau's Canada. Any Canadian who reads this, this is going to be all of Canada if we don't get rid of him.
This is happening in every town, city, and province.
Lots of depressing cities and towns in Canada with the Trudeau NDP Dictatorship.😡
100% correct.
It's not a Trudeau issue; socialism always fails in the long run no matter who is in charge.
Unfortunately it doesn't matter who our PM and MPPs and all that lovely stuff are they only want the money in their pockets and power and people vote for them, Conservative people still bitched about Harper don't vote I hate to break it to yall but whoever next after Trudeau will do the same thing and so on and so on just like past will not change. It's really not hard to give people like us money just like they like to do to fund wars and their pockets have I said enough facts already lol 🤭🤭🤭🤭
Don't use words you don't know the definition of.
That’s why my wife and I are leaving for her home country of Japan. Canada is finished!!
Wow...who would've guessed giving free drugs to drug addicts would lead to overdoses and escalating crime. :p
Basically just an early version of the MAiD program.
....these free drugs are to help battle the overdoses, it doesn’t cause them. They are giving out pharmaceutical grade morphine, which you would have to use a lot of to overdose. People have been overdosing at increasing rates for the last 10 years since this illicit fentanyl started coming from China
They do this because the alternative is, the addict will use illicit fentanyl made in Mexico. They will overdose and if they don’t pass away, they end up costing the health care system tons of money in emergency treatment. This is the cheaper & better option, give them safer drugs, pay the cost up front.....cause if you don’t they’ll use dangerous drugs and cost more later
And you have it totally confused, as does this report. Giving them free drugs DECREASES crime. They don’t need to steal to get money for their fix, they get it for free from government, instead of buying from a street dealer. It’s been proven by other places that heave done this, and the data proves it . This report is all anecdotal
I know rocket science!
One word. Trudeau
Bingo @@jonathanandrew2909
Susan Stevenson is a brave strong woman. We've never seen a councilor like her before. She truly listens and tries to help and is asking the right questions. Thank you so much Susan!

She's a horrible NIMBY bully and no one likes her.
In all honesty, I must say that I thought things would get bad with Trudeau at the helm, but I really couldn’t imagine it would be this bad. This is what economic and societal collapse looks like.
Enforce drug laws, make it less available, and there will be less addicts. It's simple.
Like in the USA?
@@plrt6794 No, like we used to in Canada.
I am old enough to remember when they emptied out the mental institutions.
@@TurdFerguson101 So am I and now it has come back to haunt us. This was my home town and it has become such a disgrace.
After the 50's we had a breakdown in the family.. people would be more afraid of their family then police..
That won't fly in Sudbury lol 😆
I moved out of London 3 years ago after living there for over 30 years. I left after watching London die slowly due to the addicts destroying the downtown. Human waste, fights and the mental health issues make it unliviable. Best thing I ever did was move with my son to the country.
I have been speaking out about this for a year now. Born and raised in London. They have destroyed our once beautiful city. So happy to see you reporting on this Harrison. Dr. Andrea Sereda needs to have her medical license revoked.
Was downtown monday, saw like 3 drug deals and like 3 different groups of homeless. Cops just chilling doing nothing
😂😂 the cops here are he biggest pieces of shit ever. I hear there siren on the whole day just gaslighting and harassing the neighbourhood
Being a Londoner I can confirm Londons a shit hole
I used to live there over 15 years ago and Adelaide and Dundas wasn't dangerous to walk at night. An old money and white conservative town gone liberal and woke. What a sh#thole it has become. Won't ever go and visit my family screw that! They always visit me
Nothing has changed. Dundas and Adelaide is exactly the same as it was 20 years ago.
Stop the 🧢.
Ya sure it hasn't
Sounds like you were looking for any excuse to not visit your family.
Gee, my wife and I walked across Dundas and Adelaide the other night. Great Indian restaurant there. Friendly people, great service. Picked up some food to take home! You must be confused...
Sure there are still good services in the area but it didn't have that degree of decay 15 years ago. As one could see in the video along with the sad lost souls. Or are you saying that A I. was used in the video.
So sad how fast The NDPLiberal coalition is trying to scale down the population.
It's called replacement program... They will replace us with new immigrants!
I agree, it began slowly but suddenly accelerated so fast that we are taken off guard. Worst thing is that there is no hope someone will push the brake.
Don't forget the PROFITS ! trudeau has his Fingers in EVERYTHING !
@@maxcloutier5285there is always hope ❤
Abortion, MAID, drugs, pharma injections, criminals out on bail, trans surgeries on youth...the prefer death. :(
The safe supply is insane, but the bigger problem is the cost of living. 20 years ago, a person working service could afford a one room apartment on a service wage. (I paid $450 a month for small but hip pad as recently as 2005.) It was a regular city then, and poor people had at least a chance. I have no idea how much housing costs now, but I bet it's way to expensive for a low income person to have any independence. This drives people to hopelessness and makes them more likely to end up on the streets and doing the junk. And it all comes from increasing the population artificially through...you guessed it, immigration.
Yes, to the cost living being a bigger problem no to immigration causing the problem even tho it doesn't help said problem it exacerbates it.
Willy immigration is not to blame it is lifting rent controls off of vacant rental properties while freezing welfare rates and service workers wages. Immigrants are not responsible for Canadian politicians' neoliberal policies that only benefits the wealthy via sky high rents and tax cuts do to shredding the social safety net. That's on us for not getting rid of this plutocratic system decades ago.
That same apartment that was $450 in 2005 would now be at least $1200, probably more like $1500.
My apartment in 2006 was $620 in Hamilton. Now the same units in same building go for $1750
Currently in my building in London, a 1 bedroom apartment goes for 1500. When I moved in just 3 years ago my 2 bedroom cost me 1200. The rise of cost of living is getting out of hand and every building that goes up is owned by slum lords who are charging exorbitant prices.
Bravo reporting young man. Hope to see you progress in the future.
The quack doctors prescribing all this crap live far away from the devastation that they have caused. No supply at all is the answer. Stay healthy !
It makes no sense! And only 1 city counselor is sounding the alarm.
Time to leave Canada.

This is a mass immigration problem. Now we have limited housing. How do we house refugees, and not our own?
Most of these drug addicts are white
drug users: damn immigrants forcing my hand to smoke and shoot up these nasty stuff. 100% not my fault.
Your own? Take one of these junkies in your house then.
I bet you're renting lol
@@StealthNinja7 Yeah. Our own. People that didn't choose to live here... because the people that are born elsewhere are now taking up low income housing. As well as recieving allowance for food, clothes, etc, etc. These "junkees" are on the streets because there is no housing for them.
We're being invaded. Not by bombs and infantry. By drugs, and immigrants.
I bet you're one of them. Lol
Rent to a crack head
Safe supply isn't for to help addicted , this is meant to speed up the eventual ..Goverment does not want the vulnerable and needy ..
They do they want us all there and then gone
Great video. Londoner here.
Things got WAY worse after Covid. Dundas + the tent cities in Harris Park
As a resident of London who has lived all over Ontario and visited all over the country from coast to coast, simply put, yes. Yes it is the most depressing city in the country.
London, Ontario looks just as bad off as Vancouver/ Victoria.
Absolutely disgusting..
That lady picking her meth sores as she's being interviewed 🤢🤮
Thanx Liberals.
Thanx Trudeau.
I live in BC, you're absolutely right! Maybe worse.
He is just highlighting the downtown core, I agree the downtown is in trouble but the entire city doesn't look like that. I live here and there are some very nice areas in the city.
@@bvictoria6605 I honestly think so..
From what I've seen Vancouver and Victoria devolved into, it's like a third world in some parts of both cities.

@@Daisy38516 Where? There are trudeau towns everywhere in this city. There isn't a single establishment in this city not being robbed blind. There are zombies everywhere you look. People blacked out on the sidewalks, the bus shelters, the banks, zombies playing in traffic all tweaked out, parks and playgrounds are uninhabitable, the zombie army is allowed to congregate near schools, peoples properties being robbed at night, vandalized, cars being stolen, police have been ordered to do nothing about it. Do we live in the same city?
@@Daisy38516 Its more then just downtown Take a stroll down wellington street toward White Oaks mall , or how about from Dundas and talbot all the way upto the airport. Even Wortley Village has been infested .

I hope there is no blow back against this brave council woman.

She was already publically admonished for taking pictures of this crap.
She will be punished. City council are a bunch of marxists.
shes not brave........ shes a NIMBY on steroids. she wants all these people to die lol . Everybody cant stand her

“We” don’t. The only way a person can kick this addiction is coming to his senses at the very bottom of that pit. These people will never find themselves at that point precisely because all these woke do-gooders keep “helping” them. It is clearly a woman run world. And you are witnessing the consequences.
Prettymuch all the cities in Canada are depressing. Canada is a a cold, dirty, boring country.
My mother worked as a dispatcher for u-need-a-cab, I want to cry when i go down to that area of London, She worked so hard at the ark aid street mission to help these people and to see her memory be this really hurts

THANK YOU Harrison for shedding light on these important stories affecting Canada! 🙌💯
Way to go Harrison. You're a brave man.
Interestingly, I had a coffee with one of the people who was a big driver of bringing in safe supply here. He said it’s one of the biggest regrets of his life.
Did you ask him what he is doing now to help correct the mess?
All the ideas Liberals brought was utterly failure
Good, tell them I blame them for this

My kids can't go out front to play. Can't use our own back yard. And for all the parks in our area can't be used. The government does not care about anything other then feeding addiction. There not helping, they are contributing for their own benefits. Thank you for your report. We all need your voice, we don't have one.

When I was a teenager I would get dropped off downtown and hang out all day, now a teenager would likely be robbed and/or assaulted. London used to be beautiful and clean, it has become a cesspool resembling the third world.
I think Canada wants to get rid of a lot of it's struggling people, with this and the MAID program.
London Ontario has become an unsafe place to visit or reside in. The only thing worse than London's sad state is the utter failure / incompetence of the LONDON POLICE DEPARTMENT.

Thank you for covering the horrendous condition of London and its massive drug and homeless issues which has grown exponentially in the last 10 years. I am going to leave this city as soon as I can.
Watch the liberal mp at the very last 30 seconds scream "safe supply save lives" like a deranged lunatic. That is the party that got us in this mess.

I used to go to London 25 years ago and it was very nice and clean. So sad.
Fantastic reporting. I had no idea things were this bad in London. Just wow.
Thank you so much for your working reporting this.. I’ve grown up here and I’ve never seen this city in such a deplorable state.
moved right by this area in '08 and rolled in on a guy shooting up in the basement stairs. its only gotten worse. heard from people lots of street people kill one another and it never makes the news. something is rotten in London, this is all someones plan.
I dare you to name who's plan it is. I dare you.
It's down right aweful the transformation in London Ontario the last ten years.
I moved back in 2013, you are right, it has changed so much in 10 years. From 2013 - 2016 it was still really nice, I noticed around 2018 - 2019 it started to get too big and busy, with lots of people from other towns moving in and immigrants. London doesn't know if it wants to be a cosmopolitan city, or be a small town / city. It is failing on both ends, falling short of being a real city, or a small town. Places I use to walk for quiet now always have people around, it is hard to escape the public like before, lots of garbage, noise, dirty streets / sidewalks, not as clean as the past either.
Excellent journalism. Terrible situation.

Well done podcast. Helping people to continue making terrible choices with their lives and risking those around them is a wrong headed idea. Treatment not drugs.
“Treatment” is also “help”. Leave them be but not in your city. Their choice .
This is not the answer. All drugs are toxic.
Cease production of every drug on the planet. Only way to go.
I think vancouver takes the cake on this one having their very own skid row

The elderly, the sick, depressed & anyone deemed unworthy of like is how Maid works. Look up the nazi T-4 program & you may find some similarities.
What does a homeless drug addict do with an apartment??
They get into supportive housing where they relearn how to function. It's working but takes time after someone's been on the street for a few years.
They turn it into a drug den.
First thing they do is tear out the drywall and steal copper piping for $
I’ve lived there for a couple of months. The London downtown is dead.
