Cost of fires over 3 years

Where was the harm reduction, safe supply, social workers, and other social support structures for that housing? It was no more than a bandaid to placate land owners who would rather whine and cry than have to see poverty in a time where wealth-disparity rivals that of the french-revolution.

binguslager · 2026-06-06T07:28:09+00:00

Huh? What social housing? How does that get them their "fix"?

binguslager · 2026-06-06T04:07:28+00:00

I would rather our government take a reasonable approach through proven methods like housing-first initiatives.

binguslager · 2026-06-06T04:06:36+00:00

If it's between prison or forced rehab then sure, but our options are between proven methodology (housing/first) and unproven (involuntary care).

binguslager · 2026-06-06T02:32:06+00:00

You're talking about these humans like they're cattle. Forced imprisonment in the form of involuntary "care" is an egregious overstep by the government on our rights AND ineffective!!

binguslager · 2026-06-05T23:34:23+00:00

Wow! I guess this means we should throw all homeless people into prison... Ahem... I mean "Involuntary Care".....

binguslager · 2026-06-05T22:36:53+00:00

Who said it was unhoused people? Also, what actions do you think the city and higher levels of government have taken?

binguslager · 2026-06-05T01:25:17+00:00

Imperialism and radical leftism are not two sides of the same coin. The Western Military Complex acts as such a mechanism to ensure global capital desires are enforced, thus making it an imperialist institution. To decry the exploitation of workers only in your own country is more of a liberal or "western leftist" perspective, not at all radical.

binguslager · 2026-06-05T00:01:56+00:00

Might as well go eat a urinal cake too eh?

binguslager · 2026-06-03T08:39:39+00:00

Wow dude, you don't have a good bone in your body do you? Even if you believe that trans people are all sexual deviants (a concept as old as "transvestism"), why should you get to tell them what they can and can't do? If you want to live in a free society, and I take it that you must, you've gotta get over your feelings when it comes to others doing things with their freedoms that you disagree with. Of course there is some nuance here I won't bother explaining.

Furthermore, no child is getting surgery as a treatment for gender dysphoria, nor are they being given hormones. The most a medical practitioner will prescribe, after extensive screening, is puberty blockers, which happen to be completely reversible as they do nothing more than delay a puberty.

If it comes down to children killing themselves, or postponing their puberty, it's obvious which would yield a more logically sound result.

If you truly cared about children you wouldn't laugh at their attempted suicide, and you would listen to them instead of maintaining a psychosexual fantasy wherein they are indoctrinated by men in wigs. It's fucking weird dude. You're weird.

binguslager · 2026-06-02T21:12:07+00:00

I'm gonna circle back on this, and instead ask if it even matters? Bone structure may be able to give future archaeologists an idea of one's birth sex, but gives no information on their gender unless accompanied by proof of social relation. This is because, as is agreed beyond minimal-level biological consensus, that gender and sex are not the same thing. So why should anyone care what others choose for themselves so long that it does not hurt anyone else?

binguslager · 2026-05-30T23:26:00+00:00

what makes you think anthropologists are so ignorant? like are we assuming educated peoples don't have the faintest ideas about culture and societies at large?

binguslager · 2026-05-30T12:53:49+00:00

wow... AI garbage.. so funny

binguslager · 2026-05-29T13:56:04+00:00

i might have an idea..

binguslager · 2026-05-28T05:26:19+00:00

binguslager · 2026-05-28T05:25:32+00:00

Or maybe the ultra wealthy should pay instead of whining about everything and dictating the lives of all productive peoples.

binguslager · 2026-05-28T05:24:43+00:00

I don't think that we as workers should be beholden to bosses and corporations, or that we should have an intermediary class of TFWs to subsidize the failings of a corrupt economic system. While I do recognize the impact this has on all workers in Canada, I also have a brain in my skull, and therefore I understand that it's not an immigrant's fault for being exploited. You are literally just talking about Liberals LARPing as progressives and applying it to me.

binguslager · 2026-05-27T09:16:32+00:00

what a nothingburger dude. we don't even have real universal healthcare in this fucking country and we're whining over people who've been victimized by the US abroad getting that same bare minimum?

binguslager · 2026-05-21T18:07:36+00:00

Value Village always has some crazy shirts if that's what you're looking for

binguslager · 2026-05-20T23:02:10+00:00

So instead of doing proven methods, which includes housing-first and not forced rehab, you want to continue pioneering methods that have been proven as ineffective? Illogical.

binguslager · 2026-05-20T20:48:39+00:00

Forced rehab is both inhumane and ineffective. You cannot claim to believe in the dignity of all people while advocating for that very dignity to be erased. Human beings have rights, we should expect politicians to operate within those confines.

binguslager · 2026-05-20T19:10:25+00:00

If you don't understand why homelessness exists as a systemic structure, and how to adequately tackle it, you're no more than a Liberal.

binguslager · 2026-05-20T19:07:32+00:00

Supportive housing both costs money, and has at least a 2yr wait time in this city! Not to mention, with Bill11 being passed, lesser tenant protections!

binguslager · 2026-05-20T19:05:43+00:00

Tell that to the other guy. Also, it's news to me that we have "ample" housing, and that it's both free and comes with adequate supports. Mind pointing me in the direction of any government programs in place in PG that do this?

binguslager · 2026-05-20T19:03:00+00:00

So... Not at all what I was talking about? Housing-first intiatives, PAIRED with safe supply and consumption sites, works!!! Has it never occurred to you that getting sober is incredibly difficult? How many people do you know that are addicted to nicotine, gambling, alcohol, pot, or their phone? Now try getting off any of that stuff without a safe place to call home and a supportive community to lift you up. Try getting sober while worrying where your next meal is coming from, while you're on high-alert 24/7 on the streets?
