NIMBY. That's what I am & proud of it. If you lived my life homeless, you'd understand. Those that don't, should just be on their way, with their useless woke BS.

Never assume the person sleeping on the sidewalk is actually Homeless. The woman behind me has permanent housing. Many so-called formally homeless people actually continue to sleep outside yet have their rents paid by supportive housing. This is the perfect situation for the

Today I was very pleased to speak on Second Reading of my Private Members' Bill - the Mental Health Amendments Act 2025.
This important bill aims to improve communication between healthcare providers and close relatives during a mental health emergency.

Ten years ago she was a happy kid that played the piano and wanted to be an artist This is her today. A special sarcastic thanks to harm reduction that enabled and arguably encouraged this.

Imagine Trump actually showing up tonight with all he’s been through, wound and all. If there’s anyone who would actually do something like that, it’s him.

When we see homeless encampments, and those struggling with addiction in BC, we need to understand most are in the care of multiple BC Ministries:
✅ Health
✅ Social Development and Poverty Reduction
✅ Children and Family Development
✅ Mental Health and Addictions
Just sayin🤷🏻♂️
Does anyone remember this nonsense? The UN is trying to destroy us. Lol

The BCNDP have long known about DULF/VANDU drug trafficking.
I again call on the Auditor General to investigate the use of taxpayer dollars to fund these organizations. #bcpoli

I'm a different kind of ex-user. My addiction was cured by a fluke, medication side-effect. Made me interesting to doctors. 15 1/2 years of addiction gone, in 15 minutes. No withdrawal. Now 15 years clean.
Imagine if we could do that, for others.
Find out what turns on and off someone's addiction process, in the brain.
So how is this safe supply suppose to work. An addict pays or doesn't pay for it. How often are they allowed to access this safe supply, before a street dealer is needed. Who's illegally manufacturing this safe supply.
So, so many questions, with no reasonable answers.
You can't help those, that don't want help. Many still choose this life of homelessness and/or addiction.
Detox's need to be medical, and rehabs need college courses attached to them. /Peace

This is one component of the way out of our Addiction Crisis in BC, along with all the additional supports that have been recommended, for decades. Until then, more will die, many unnecessarily due to our leaderships unwillingness to face up to reality. “Vince Cain 1994.”
