Life of Homelessness in Vancouver Canada - East Hastings Street, the 5-Block Stretch
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2023
- Explore Vancouver Canada's Worst Corners as "Hell on Earth" portrayed by the Conservative Leader PP.
E Hastings 5 block stretch is from Dunlevy Ave to Abbott St, where the most homeless people hang out in 24/7.This is unofficially considered as an invisible perimeter, so the City's has the better controlling and enforcing. This strip is part of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside and Chinatown.
The DTES is the site of a complex set of social issues, including disproportionately high levels of drug use, homelessness, poverty, crime, mental illness and sex work, and the area began a rapid decline due to several factors, including an influx of hard drugs, an epidemic of HIV infection and drug overdoses. DTES led to the declaration of a public health emergency with critical issues include opioid overdoses, especially those involving the drug fentanyl; decrepit and squalid housing; a shortage of low-cost rental housing; and mental illness, which often co-occurs with addiction.
This is life in Canada.
It's sad and heartbreaking to see. They are victims of a broken system. I hope government will take the step to make correction, take care of the sick, treat them well and not let them wonder around being sick and unable to take care of themselves. Vancouver Public Health must do something, take them in for treatment.
Uhhhh, the fn governments solution is legalizing hard drugs! 👏 good job, look what they condone.
Not going to happen - you need to be realistic No helping these folks when anyone tries they are met with resistance , these folks do not want help they want money for drugs , when given an SRO they bring in the drugs and destroyed it fires etc, In California the governor has spout 7 thousand on each of one them to no avail . these folks have to die or stop using drugs , Canada has lots and lots of social programs , it does not matter. they like living on the street when you asked them they tell you they love living on the streets. Understand these Drug addicts have used their own family who have refused to take them in.
Government is the problem, the sooner people realize this the sooner the problem can be solved.
Maybe system is broken for a reason?
I live about 90 minutes south of Vancouver across the international border. Around ten years ago, my rent was 800 a month, but now I have to pay 1700 for the same one bedroom. Cost of living is one of the problem besides drugs, mental illnesses. But few people noticed that.
The reason is our government printed too much money in recent 10 years
These are all addicts, not homeless because their rent went up...
High rent didn’t help, but most of these people would not be able to pay any kind of rent.
you got mental illness , just to pay the rent
a shame you didn't buy a place in those 10 years.
Drugs ruin their lives. Homelessness is not completely loss of hope but homelessness + drugs is.
they become homeless cause they f$cking lazy + addict, work stop drugs so that they will not be homeless simple
Looks like a drugs handover at 10 05 😤😤😤😤
Not true
Sorta reminds me of every major city in Canada and the US.
I always wonder how many others like me check videos like this just to try and find a family member. I’ve went through this whole video checking every face and posture. I don’t know if I’m happy or sad that I didn’t see them.
The essential freedom of individuals. We cannot simply blame our actions on external factors or circumstances, but must take full responsibility for them. This means that we must own up to the consequences of our actions, even if they are unintended or unwanted. As free beings, people are responsible for all elements of themselves, their consciousness, and their actions. That is, with total freedom comes total responsibility. - Jean Paul Sartre
sure, you should always elect people who are willing to their job. i mean, raising the rent and not raising the salaries is up to each individual. or kids born in poor families, they have so much individual freedom too.
This is what happens when a country's judiciary, politicians and policing have been infiltrated and taken over at the top by organised crime.

I bumped into this neighbourhood back in 2014 when I visited my sister living in Vancouver. That was a huge shock for someone from Japan where drug addiction is basically nonexistent.
When a drug addict talked to me on the bus and asked me for change to buy ‘painkillers’ , I had no idea what was going on and I genuinely thought she was ill.
After these experiences I became interested in DTES and have read several books about the community and learned about the activities by VANDU, the safe injection sites, the situation around the overdose deaths from fentanyl, etc… All of those were mind blowing for me.
It looks like the neighbourhood has gone worse in recent years and it makes me wonder if any of those activities were helping…
Canada is a country of bleeding hearts and enablers.
I personally think that Vancouver's downtown East side serves a valuable purpose.
It's its own public service announcement.
"Keep doing hard drugs, amd this is where you'll end up. You don't want that, do you?"
Canada must have a low cost housing project that any Canadian people will afford just like here in Philippines. Also give priority to
Employment & Peace & Order .
The worst thing in all this is that at the beginning of the recession, what will it be later!!!
The Great Depression 2.0
I Immigrated to Vancouver in the late 1960s from England .I lived on West 7th Avenue and worked on Granville Street …When I saw this I cried…What is happening to you Canada….This is totally unacceptable GET RID OF THAT SILLY UNCARING PRIM-MISTER HE IS A TOTAL DISGRACE…THIS IS MANS INHUMANITY TO MAN…GOD HELP US AS A SOCIETY TO LET THIS HAPPEN AND WALK BY.
this problems been ignored by many primeminiters before this one who actually has compasion for people addicted and you know ,he knows the score today unlike old harper conservatives who live in ther einory towers !!!,dont blame our goverment ,the 60ès is catching up free love drugs and rock and roll eh ,lol,no we all make our own choices in the world to do what we know we shouldnt do but we gamble and some fall big time ,how about Amy Winehouse ,should be blame the englands goverment or maybe even the queen for what happened to my there ,no she made choices too and lost ....big time !!rip Amy and my brother who made his choice too and i dont blame anyone else ,he was a adult
and my neice is down there somewhere and i wished she would call her mum and let her know shes alive ,thats all, and thats all we expect from her till shes ready to come home and ge tclean and she knows her family is waiting to help
ask those fcking addict not canada
damn how old are you though
I was born here and I am crying with you. We must continue to care for our most vulnerable. I agree this is completely inhuman. They closed Riverview a few years ago and most of the patients were sent to the downtown eastside. We must fight for human rights in our country and in Vancouver.
One mental hospital with drug rehabilitation would fix this s*** show this is done by design😮
Sad to see all those homeless ppl :( thx for the video ^5s
Congratulations Trudeo, job well done.
Do you also blame him for this occurring throughout the USA and Europe?
@@TheMcgojoh for HIS OWN COUNTRY that is what we are seeing, other countries have to answer to THEIR RESOECTIVE, True is Canadas leader, start there.
@@Jenifer_G Right, nothing going on with how our economic system is operating. Heft all the blame on the government holding the potato as otherwise we would share in that fault. that's some straight shooting thar partner.
Do you really think the conservatives could or would rectify this situation? you have a hidden agenda.
@@potatoheaad It's the same all ove the industrialised economies. An economic system failure and therefore we too are at fault. but |i get it blame the system you only take part in every so many years, it's easier. Nothing to fix only need to bitch.
Free food cheap drugs, rent free, no responsibility, cheap smokes, throw your garbage on the ground, get to take naps in the day, sleep in , how ironic..
not homeless they are drug addicted Bums .
well said bro...
Yup just living the high life ,happy,loving life that's what you think,? Ignorance is bliss.
Lazy good for nothing bums.
America is far worse. We have walking zombies.
Actually America is far better as at least the homeless won't freeze to death.
What are these but walking zombies? Few of them can even stand erect.
OMG !!! I thought this was staged to begin with, but then realised that its real people.
How can the government let this happen? Why are social services not involved to help these people?
Really, I am so shocked, it's like a third World Country!!!
Thank you
Believe it or not, this 50 square block area of Vancouver has more social assistance programs than anywhere else in North America.
That is a fact.
This is the result. Why do you think they stay here?
Maybe you could take some of them into your home in the interest of helping them out.
🤣@@Dbodell8000
People in third world countries don't have the luxuries to live like that. They'd die. I'm from Mexico. We don't have this. We have other more interesting problems.
Social services relies on these people for job security, and more government funding.
What people don't understand is homeless people are not all the streets . It's a LOT worse than this and any one could be next. Yes this will turn into pure chaos ...
Just get more true with time 😅
No, "not anyone could be next." People who have God in their lives and put God first do not use drugs, or end up this way. I grew up during the tragically stupid hippie counter culture revolution in the 60's and was offered drugs every day. I said no every time. This video is why. This is the result of using drugs, of choosing to use them, and making bad lifestyle decisions because, "everyone's doing them" like a bunch of lost sheep.
All self inflicted. Making stupid lifestyle decisions.
Thank you for sharing the real happen
We need to encourage small businesses to encourage people to work and serve one another, we need to encourage them to clean up the street and welcome tourists and people to help them.
Yeah, there should be DTES safari tours! Bus loads of tourists eager to see the DTES scenery & wildlife. When they purchase a ticket, it can come with a case of Mr. Noodles and crackers so they can feed the animals at each stop. They should also each be given one of our tax funded harm-reduction drug paraphernalia kits to hand out to any junkie they see sharing equipment.
ding dong would you really expect a person with a small business hire a tattooed drug addicted person when it is known that well over 50% of small businesses fail within the first 5 years? Instead of someone that is clean and self respectable?
Money！Money！Money！
@@cloudcheung3180 yes the love of money is the root of all evils
So you want a small owner who doesnt make much money to do all this while still managing his business?Hire random people? Fight off homeless on his own? Clean it? Let me guess, you got a bachelors in arts
Vancouver has a huge population of Asian heritage. Many immigrated from China and India and many are second or third generation, born in Canada. From a demographic perspective, if drugs and homelessness affected all people equally, then they should be in these images too. But they are not. Why is that? Why is it that the people who are overdosing are predominantly white and in their 20-40's, some even in wheel chairs? And what are the people standing around, who do not look intoxicated, doing? Are they dealers? I think there are some important questions that need to be answered as to how people get into such hard drugs in the first place, and why it does not seem to affect all in the same way.
Racist+conspiracy theorist = YOU
Indians n Chinese have strong family bonds. If someone is failing they support them and shows the right path. They are always there for eachother.
Also while growing my mother used to beat so badly if I do some extreme nuisance, her teaching made me good man.
Where do you think the drugs are coming from?
@@TheWorldisSoDividedpeople are love drugs because of the feeling 😂 thay Challenge they're life if thay still breathe tomorrow ehhh
@@TheWorldisSoDivided like some druger love it 😂
What happened to those great Canadian government benefits that we always hear about?
Canada is bankrupted! Trudope sold all the GOLD ( savings ) to support the housing market. ( debt system )
They don't need free drugs. Give them a sandwich or burger and tea, and a little shed or prefab hut to live. Give them hope. Hopefully the Churches or Mosques or Sikh Temples can help. Government hopefully makes funding available .
YOU CANT STOP THIS. YOU CANT STOP THIS.
Yes you can

If this continues, Vancouver will soon be like Paris.
Fentanyl is one of the biggest problems in this towns
I’m visiting Vancouver now and this place is straight out of a Zombie apocalypse movie. Drugs are RAMPANT. It’s crackheads EVERYWHERE. Really sad man, the Gastown area is the worst I’ve ever seen, worse than San Francisco. By a long shot.
In LA they have a better organisational skills.. At least some tents and shopping trolleys.
The problem has got so overwhelming no one knows what too do?
Indeed throwing money or SRO do not work - I don't have the answer . But children should not have to deal with this. walking by them or seeing this .
@@feedtherich11 agreed 👍
this is what people want. they want legal drugs. let the people who want this live in their filth
In Calgary Alberta it’s same doing the homeless people here what happen now in Canada
Is this Vancouver, Canada? What happened to its people?
What happened? They adopted the American democracy and human rights, that's what happened!
They left
Ayúdalos ¡SEÑOR DIOS MIO! 🙏
Almost every time i see these East Hastings videos it make me start to fee ill, I live on the west coast myself, and I too am low income, and know full well how expensive its getting here, but being poor is no reason to give up on life and live like this. In this area of B.C Our government has spent hundreds of millions on this fentanyl crisis since it began and despite everything this it still the result. Clean needles, safe injection cites, safe supply, legal drugs, etc etc have all failed, these people need tough love, they need to be taken off the street forcefully and taken to places like the old Riverview hospital, but the odd for this change are slim thanks to the reform (Bill C-75) when this was passed they had no idea just how dangerous hard drugs have become i B.C hence this "revolving door system" for criminals....
they need good functional parents with a belt😂
Forced removal? WTF? Are you some kind of communist? People don’t lose their rights because….because of anything
I have a solution to the fentanyl crisis. I can almost guarantee it will work and save many of these homeless people, the majority of whom are severe drug addicts. The solution is simple: If the police catch you selling fentanyl or other hard drugs, the first offense is free. You are warned. You are on record now. Then you are released. But if they catch and convict you of doing it again, they chop off your left hand. A third offense? They chop off the right hand. No need for a penalty for a fourth offense, because now that you have no hands, it will be hard to be a professional drug dealer. You will probably become homeless and have to live in a cardboard box yourself. Suddenly there will be almost no drugs available, and then some of these people can stop being zombies and become people again, and maybe some will even find their feet again and stand up on their own. Does this sound like a very cruel or harsh solution? It's harsh and cruel for sure, and it's meant to be. But why are we so concerned with the welfare of repeat criminals when they are actively killing our people? I bet that almost everyone will decry my suggestion, calling me a hater and a heartless fiend. All I have to say is that drug dealers have already declared war on our society, and we are fighting back with clean needles and methedone? We know those methods don't work.
Comes down to their upbringing,I'm sorry but it does
i agree, but sometimes its not really that simple. I was 15 and held at gunpoint and to cope i tried it, but it obviously leads to worse. But the real issue is the police watch a 15 year old girl going and buying fentanyl and doing nothing about it . Its not illegal ..I was addicted for years, its legal for a 12 year old to shoot up. And she has a "right" to clean needles. Its a sick sick society. I recognize and know personally most of these ppl. They have been severly tortured in ways most ppl dont understand, even me i went to fentanyl to cope with almost being murdered. I luckily got clean but the fact that we are continuing to ship more people to Vancouver, they have no room. Its so expensive, even non drug addicted people sleep in tents to save money, then the gov. comes in and says its basically illegal on all streets except hastings, so they end up trying shit and etc. Its disgusting they have 5 6 7 desginer stores on a street and a budget of a billion for condos but have not enough room or respect to get them help. I went to go get help at 17 because i woke up screaming from withdrawl, and they taught me how to USE SAFE, offered me nothing else said i should keep going a couple more days for subaxone. and also make 1400$ per safe supply prescription. They want you addicted and high. Should not exist period if any child like me wants fentanyl or tranq they should be locked up
不要懷疑這就是西方世界所說的自由、民主、人權的最佳寫照。很難想像這樣的民主是我們想要的嗎？
We were not to be a democracy. We were supposed to be a republic. The western nations have been hijacked. And the people have been dumbed down. It's a complete collapse for many people. They have completely given up.
Actually this is not freedom. Illicit drug are well, illicit.
Is this the real life?
Yep, and the government condones this shit!
Human being turns into ghosts
No its a ps5 game
when in the jungle number one rule don't feed the animals
You mean number one rule in jungle don't feed animals because they can feed on you as their food too.
Silly statement ….Grow up.
Apocalyptic, like the walking dead. Easy to point the finger of blame like a wild loaded gun. But not everyone follows this lifestyle path. Not everyone ends up here. These people need help, but not the kind they want. Society wants them to join society, and they Society to supply the things that help them maintain their lifes choices.
So many people that seem so sleepy/tired. I would guess they are working unhealthy amounts of overtime?
they're nodding from the opiates
😂
The state that understands capitalism has failed to prosper its people, because the government only pays attention to the development of the owners of capital to grow, while the common people are separated from the government's attention as a result of which many are homeless.
The disabled addicts must have a harder time than most going to the bathroom
Not something proud to show the world. This vlog is informative to the Administration to tackle the situation.
you still don't see the real culprit? All these "election winners" made it happened.
It's transpired the failure of the State. These volunerable people must be placed in shelter houses and rehabilitation centers. The social activists and civil society should also share their due care towards these victims of the time
This is heartbreaking!!!!!
I thank God that I was born and live in Voronezh.

LIFE OF DRUG ADDICTED IN VANCOUVER CANADA
Life story:
You came out of your mother's womb, crawled under heavy fire and through minefields and fell into your grave.
(Quentin Crisp, author)
Nice quote
Well I guess I am not moving there.
Humans inhumanity to humans. 25 years ago
You never saw this.. The Government and
People just don't care...
Yeah, let's feed the homeless. Free handouts only perpetuate the problem.
The main reason is drugs, Canadian Government allowed drug addiction, ruined the poorest person.
toxic drugs
Nice, caught a drug deal at 10:05
I caught that too lol
Beautiful city ❤
90% are young and white.
Real Canadians live in a tent, not in a house. LOL
The downfall of civilization!
Did you guys noticed that we barely see black people among this homeless population ???
Canada turbo-doses itself with 5 million immigrants over 4 years, offers them housing while real Canadians suffer.
These are destroying their Life 😢😢
All coming to a place near you
Rent is the same here in New Brunswick but we make half of what they do here and we have almost 1000 homeless just in Moncton but it don't look like this they need more shelters there and have it that people can hang inside the shelter so they don't have them on the streets around town with all there stuff they can fix this they just need to get the right system in place
The demise of the West
Как страшно! Там надо ходить в комбинезоне химзащиты и противогазе.
Canada's future for our children. Long live Trudeau
It is sad that there are no clinics or associations to bring them back to life. Where are the psychiatrists? Where is the solidarity of the problematic society? Family disintegration, not belonging to any religion and losing faith in God. Where are their families?
Absolutely terrible. How about help the homeless ??
I feel so hurt seeing this :'( ,Canada should help these guys before sending millions to Ukrain or elsewhere
This started when Canada embraced US neoliberal economic and social policies: outsourcing, allowing foreign investment, anti-western social engineering, etc.
I think it is getting better as government has built some low income housing , but a lot, but it takes time. They need to be helped to
Move in to those low income housing . Vancouver is beautiful but expensive.
Greatest dump in Canada. You see beauty in this hell hole ?
Сложно понять это русскому человеку Как можно писать о благополучии Канады, и в то время же такая Проблема с наркоманией. Прямо на улицах валяются никому ненужные люди. Абсурд.

Graffiti is so depressing, how can the city allow this?
why do they let the drugs in?
It's either pay for the roof over your head or buy them drugs and stray high.
These folks have gotten a roof over their heads many tomes , when they get the SRO they bring drugs and destroy it.
I suggest they relocate to a different state or find a jobs. Immigrants arrive and find work in no time, how much more regular citizens. I think the responsibility is theirs to fulfil
Due to "diversity", immigrants get priority over jobs. At a time where the Canadian has turbo-dosed the country with 5 million immigrants over 4 years.
DIFFERENT EYES Lili
The rat infested holes in which we Derros dwell
Fighting for our daily bread with us as much as them
For others looking at our lives perceived as living Hell
If we can find an alley, with a corner safe and dry
Then we are Kings for just a night and we don’t question why
We’re creatures of the shadows from which existence stems. -
The city is a cruel Lord and all we have is time
There’ll be no hand to lift us up, no help to find a bed
We waste our time wandering, with others of our kind
Talking dreams, opportunity, reality and crime
And those among us jackals, put their brothers on the spike
Promise bliss for just a time, escape from life, sublime. -
It’s all our fault we are told, by people who don’t know
Just get a job and buy a house but none will ever employ
A black who can’t afford to eat, a white who’s tired and slow
For this is what the streets give us and Winter is the worst
The frozen parks, incessant rain, back in our holes we go
We try the subway, bus stations; move on, the middle class comes first. -
Charity comes with a hook, the drone of pray to God
We’ll give a little, not a lot, endeavour to change your life
To one of fierce obedience to Jesus in the sky
And if you let us take control for one small meal a day
You’ll struggle on and on through life and then one day you’ll die
A mansion awaits you in the clouds, if you pray and pray and pray. -
But Spring brings hope, all Nature’s good, to creatures all awake
Nature provides enough to eat, a nest a tree a cave
But man must find their own abode and man exploits the poor
So back into the tents on streets us Derros slink once more
And every day it seems there’s more, one paycheck from the street
This lucky country prosperous once, now greed’s a festering sore.
wow super wordy

In shoes all filled with holes
