Thanks for being an example! I’ve been saying the same… any recovery addict will tell you there’s no such thing as “harm reduction” or “safe supply”. Getting sober and addressing the underlying problems… affordable life, housing, work, respect, belonging, purpose.

They own government and msm.
I am a Londoner. Ran a business around the corner from the health unit. Didn't even last a year. I was constantly cleaning up feces from infront of my business. Had both my vehicles broken into several times to the point where they destroyed the lock mechanism. Had people steal from my tip jar. Meanwhile I helped as many as I could, free fries, a donut or two, Pepsi. Never turned anyone down when in need. So many people need serious help. They are literally dropping dead in the streets.

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

When the addicts are placed in apartments without any treatment they destroy the apartment and it becomes a free for all and the landlord can't even get them out and the bill to repair falls on the landlord's shoulders. It's horrible! This problem is throughout Canada.
I moved to London in 1986 and this city for some reason can’t get anything right and it is decaying rapidly. When I hear someone say safe supply for drug addicts, it makes me think. Why don’t they set up a bar at the corner of Lyle and Dundas for free liquor and beer and see how many alcoholics show up. I rarely go downtown anymore because it’s become a cesspool. I feel sorry for people that had to close their businesses or are barely staying afloat because of the zombies walking around.

Anyone that gives out drugs without support for housing and RECOVERY as a priority, - is a drug dealer, not a "compassionate" care company. Definitely NOT a safe supply company.
The Liberals are claiming that addiction is an illness and addicts have "no choice" in whether to use drugs. If that's the case, making drugs, which are poison, available to them is horrific because they can't refuse.
100% and they're making money off these drug addicts. The doctors the people running these facilities all of them profit from more homelessness. Not the profits they collect are from hard working tax payers. Why are there no riots seriously?

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.
The woman that wouldn't go on camera and was in opposition to your interview is a drug dealer, and you're compromising her livelihood. She was posturing to protect her street corner.

Turdo has nothing to do with this. Canada started to lose its nascent sense of identity in the 90’s. In fact the addicts on the street have a much stronger sense of community than the “community” they inhabit. They have a common goal. Have you noticed that none of these addicted people are from a muslim community? That’s right, because they have a community that moves in one accord (with some brutal exceptions, lol) . The “former canadians” are disoriented in a landscape of moral relativism. Their churches are turned into condor and flaggot entertainment centers. They have built everything in sand.
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.
@@synthesaurusimagine having 1 rehabilitation center established in every Canadian city with full staff . You bet your pale rear end that it would make a difference
@@Tonyscasaa rehabilitation center in every (major?) city would be helpful. However, choosing to stop using anything that becomes a main focus at the expense of everything else in your life is much more complex. As one recovering person said they would be willing to stand a corner on their head if that's what they needed to do to stop. Then there's the life needed to be created to replace what they had which hopefully is not replacing one addiction for another. I suspect the reasons for so little success in recovery programs is a lack of understanding of how much it actually involves. And, btw, I doubt ones ass colour has much impact on comprehension of this issue. 🤨😂

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 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.
Head to the hospitals, especially at night. I had to go as a family member was transferred last Winter and the drug-zombies were everywhere. Both inside and outside of the hospital. Trudeau is destroying Canada and Ford is allowing this. He should have followed Smith's example and use the Ontario Courts to end this nightmare.
Please, don't ever compare Dud Fraud to Premiere Smith. She has more class in her pinky finger, than that ox has in his entire pretend Conservative body.
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.
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
Dee it was great to hear your comments and a property owner and a Landlord, I am sure you understand a lot about the situation, thank you for reporting and sharing this video.
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.
Thank you to this counsellor for speaking out! I live here. I used to feel safe walking downtown at midnight. Now I don't feel safe walking in my own neighbourhood in the southwest end of the city.
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.
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.
I want to cry . Thank you, Harrison, for your reporting. I thought it was just safe supply in BC.....not London, Ontario. How can this government look at themselves every morning before they go out😢 Have they not been to oversee what their policy has done ???? There is no such thing as Safe Supply. Looking at the state shown in your reporting, this policy is a total disaster!! Why are is Trudeau and his government thinking different places will net different results . This is insane .
It's not about wisdom. They are cunning, agents of subversion and deception who are doing it on purpose, right in front of your face and daring you to stop them. Stop being fooled by the obvious boot that is stomping on your neck while they distract you with shiny objects.
Right??!!?? Coming from the lady that has NO teeth anymore due to her addiction choices, but that's OK she'll have herself some brand NEW ones soon enough on our dime too. Why not!!??!! We're already paying for her apartment, groceries, cigarettes....let's just throw in a new pair of teeth too while we're at it!! There yah go girl!! Tell your friends!!!
Your tone of writing is not much different than during the so called good old days of the early industrial revolution while the richer among men were often complaining about according to them all the only bastards.
That's exactly it. Same goes for a lot of these "homeless advocacy" groups you see around on billboards and shit, a lot of trust fund people making very comfortable salaries while homelessness gets worse. It's all a big racket and jobs program for the friends of politicians and elites.

....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
@@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
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.
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.
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.
As an ex-user, I can assure you there is NO such thing as a "safe supply."

That was my comment to my friend the mi ute we got off the train at dundas street we saw it and we thought we were on set for the walking dead. It was really depressing

You'll never see the CBC in one of these homeless encampments.
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

Maybe the whole truth should be told .....just sayin😮
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.
I lived in London Ontario years ago- it used to be a really nice and family oriented city. Now it's a dump.
When muslims take the by power by sheer majority this mess will be quickly eliminated.
100 percent agree. I just moved out of the city, but still work here. My sister and her family who have a beautiful home, they are moving too after decades here. It used to be such an amazing city in all aspects. Never perfect, but things werent out of control and it was safe here. It’s a 180 now. The city’s leadership is terrible. The government is terrible. The Canadian legal and healthcare system have MANY horrible flaws. The police are overworked, tired, and frustrated as most things are out of their hands. The vibe here is dark. I feel it.
I've lived in London for the last 35 years and agree. I'm working on getting the hell out of here as soon as possible. City government seems to have largely abdicated from its responsibility to make the city safe, vibrant and attractive.
@@Bloozguy I've lived in London a long time. The part of the city shown in the video is indeed a 'dump', and there are other areas of the city that are a bit dumpy and run-down in appearance. However, the dumpy areas are fairly small and not spread throughout the city.
Anywhere west of Adelaide Street is pretty good.
Our government is looking after everything but the people that live here
Canadians are the last on the list.
then why can't people look after themselves.
People should be able to look after themselves.
We penetrate zee cabinets, over half are for us, our young WEF global leaders, very proud of Justin Trudeau..." youll own nothing " ...Trudeau handler Klaus Schwab
I live here and it's not the people, this city is soulless and selfish, it's our government and friendly brown investors making it that way, we receive nothing and get corrupt councilors piss poor doctors and wicked high rent and mortgages and general cost of living being Insane and unaffordable! This has been going 30+ years now and it's the city's fault we have so many druggies, they hand the shit out like candy if you other guys weren't listening. This city has become Detroit.
When the addicts are placed in apartments without any treatment they destroy the apartment and it becomes a free for all and the landlord can't even get them out and the bill to repair falls on the landlord's shoulders. It's horrible! This problem is throughout Canada.
I moved to London in 1986 and this city for some reason can’t get anything right and it is decaying rapidly. When I hear someone say safe supply for drug addicts, it makes me think. Why don’t they set up a bar at the corner of Lyle and Dundas for free liquor and beer and see how many alcoholics show up. I rarely go downtown anymore because it’s become a cesspool. I feel sorry for people that had to close their businesses or are barely staying afloat because of the zombies walking around.
And yet, they spend millions of dollars changing the down town area to no avail, !! So many ideas have failed, time and time again.just wasting more and more money on ..makeup.. instead should try going down Dundas street from courthouse to highbury street.build affordable housing! Have places for people to clean themselves up, showers, meal plan cards and locate the places they all need there! with government assisted cards! Receipts for food etc to be handed into Ontario works so they know where the money is going! Clothing and laundry facilities close by! Hire them to be superintendents, work in kitchen, make london beautiful downtown without all the useless ...makeup..❤❤❤❤
How did we go from declaring war on drugs in the 80s and 90s to glorifying drugs today?
Because this started with the blacks and browns-----now it turned white.
The world became woke/insane. Good is bad, bad is good, up is down, black is white, men are women. That mentality.
Lines up with when they betrayed the working class and allowed the outsourcing of good paying factory jobs. London is a rust belt

war on drugs wasn't anything better, there's a place in the middle to deal with it, but this clearly isn't it.
Thank you, Harrison, you are a real journalist, asking the right questions!! Keep up with the great work 💪
If health care is provincial, why can't Doug Ford just shut these places down?

@@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.
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. Like many other people have said, London was once a very beautiful place to live. It’s really sad what’s happened here
Get the homeless planting new trees 🌳 🌲 give them a purpose and a job.
@@rainorshine7816 The majority of them dont want to do anything but do drugs. Theres a few who want to do good but most are just useless POS. Im tired of kicking meth heads off my lawn and not letting my kids go play outside cuz it's not safe.
Anyone that gives out drugs without support for housing and RECOVERY as a priority, - is a drug dealer, not a "compassionate" care company. Definitely NOT a safe supply company.
What would fill the void inside these people once they “recover”?
Proper mental health care would be a good frickin' start.
The Liberals are claiming that addiction is an illness and addicts have "no choice" in whether to use drugs.
If that's the case, making drugs, which are poison, available to them is horrific because they can't refuse.
Damn right. It helps few people not overdose, primarily the loaners who would otherwise die from a hot dose.
100% and they're making money off these drug addicts. The doctors the people running these facilities all of them profit from more homelessness. Not the profits they collect are from hard working tax payers. Why are there no riots seriously?
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!

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.

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.
The woman that wouldn't go on camera and was in opposition to your interview is a drug dealer, and you're compromising her livelihood. She was posturing to protect her street corner.
London needs to close it down.
So sad how fast The NDPLiberal coalition is trying to scale down the population.

Turdo has nothing to do with this. Canada started to lose its nascent sense of identity in the 90’s. In fact the addicts on the street have a much stronger sense of community than the “community” they inhabit. They have a common goal. Have you noticed that none of these addicted people are from a muslim community? That’s right, because they have a community that moves in one accord (with some brutal exceptions, lol) . The “former canadians” are disoriented in a landscape of moral relativism. Their churches are turned into condor and flaggot entertainment centers. They have built everything in sand.
Thank you for the well balanced and professional journalism - what a refreshing change!
Problem...................solution
Housing. Stop immigration
Hospital waits. Stop immigration
Crime. Stop immigration
Pierre hear us!!!

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.
8 billion missing on the net zero carbon fiasco. Imagine how that money could help social issues.

@@synthesaurusimagine having 1 rehabilitation center established in every Canadian city with full staff . You bet your pale rear end that it would make a difference
@@Tonyscasaa rehabilitation center in every (major?) city would be helpful. However, choosing to stop using anything that becomes a main focus at the expense of everything else in your life is much more complex.
As one recovering person said they would be willing to stand a corner on their head if that's what they needed to do to stop. Then there's the life needed to be created to replace what they had which hopefully is not replacing one addiction for another.
I suspect the reasons for so little success in recovery programs is a lack of understanding of how much it actually involves.
And, btw, I doubt ones ass colour has much impact on comprehension of this issue. 🤨😂
@@Tonyscasa it will be just another tax sucking bureaucratic entity Canada is so fond of.

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.
This was already mentioned by Pierre Poilievre to the Prime Minister Trudeau to stop this drugs.
Fantastic reporting. I had no idea things were this bad in London. Just wow.

Head to the hospitals, especially at night. I had to go as a family member was transferred last Winter and the drug-zombies were everywhere. Both inside and outside of the hospital.

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.
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
Dee it was great to hear your comments and a property owner and a Landlord, I am sure you understand a lot about the situation, thank you for reporting and sharing this video.

: Nailed it !! You're 100% correct. You must have seen something that most don't.
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.

Awesome reporting Harrison, we need more like you on the ground.
For an addict the only form of "harm reduction" is total abstinence.
Really
Thank you, Harrison. Truth.
Excellent journalism. Terrible situation.
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.
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
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.
I want to cry . Thank you, Harrison, for your reporting. I thought it was just safe supply in BC.....not London, Ontario.
How can this government look at themselves every morning before they go out😢 Have they not been to oversee what their policy has done ???? There is no such thing as Safe Supply. Looking at the state shown in your reporting, this policy is a total disaster!! Why are is Trudeau and his government thinking different places will net different results . This is insane .
I honestly believe thes pathetic Liberals who support this must be taking some kind of drugs themselves to believe this program is helping people.
They follow wef plan. The goal is to turn citizens into indentured peasants. It's so obvious.
THIS is the truth . . and how to present it . . straight from reality . . great reporting.
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.
Are you KIDDING??? drugs aren't enough? Build them free homes, feed them...take away ALL RESPONIBILITY for the irresponsible...SO LITTLE WISDOM today.
They pretend they have good intentions.
It's not about wisdom. They are cunning, agents of subversion and deception who are doing it on purpose, right in front of your face and daring you to stop them. Stop being fooled by the obvious boot that is stomping on your neck while they distract you with shiny objects.
So smart right? Let’s give them a squatting place as well to keep encouraging their addiction! This is moronic
Right??!!?? Coming from the lady that has NO teeth anymore due to her addiction choices, but that's OK she'll have herself some brand NEW ones soon enough on our dime too. Why not!!??!! We're already paying for her apartment, groceries, cigarettes....let's just throw in a new pair of teeth too while we're at it!! There yah go girl!! Tell your friends!!!
Your tone of writing is not much different than during the so called good old days of the early industrial revolution while the richer among men were often complaining about according to them all the only bastards.
True to form! Thank you Harrison for shedding light on this dire human condition(ING). Please continue the imperative work you are doing. Sincerely
The activists don't really want to eliminate drug addicts because it puts them out of a job.
That's exactly it. Same goes for a lot of these "homeless advocacy" groups you see around on billboards and shit, a lot of trust fund people making very comfortable salaries while homelessness gets worse. It's all a big racket and jobs program for the friends of politicians and elites.
THANK YOU Harrison for shedding light on these important stories affecting Canada! 🙌💯
Major issue is that everyone talks about there own POV not caring or considering the opposite POV
Canada is the wokest country on earth. This is the result.
Agreed
I think we are competing with Australia, but one of two of the worse.
Everything country with WEF members, the virtue signaling Nazis reimagined are in trouble.
The Nazis were socialist. Just barely right of communism. Yet they have convinced the world they were far right. Which is why they were able to take over.
Herr Trudulf and Herr Jugnut proud members.
As a Nigerian refugee, I love how woke it is. I have a high salary government job that isn't too hard. I didn't even think I was qualified. Canada loves helping newcomers. I still love Nigeria more, but I love what Canada does for me. Justin Trudeau is actually a good leader. He deserves more respect.
@@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!
nah they just took advantage
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.
Again, another eye-opening report by True North. Thanks for your honest reporting.
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.
Way to go Harrison. You're a brave man.
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
Very enlightening report Harrison , excellent work man . Real reporter at work here , if the CBC is looking for pointers .
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
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.
Great video man, thank you for making it.
I'm glad I got clean right there in London 30 years ago. These free drugs would have killed me guaranteed.
I live in Hamilton and always thought London was better then my city did I ever get an Education Thanks True North !
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.
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 !
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.
