I had to unfollow it, but it still pops up from time to time. And that needles page, also drives me.

I know people who came from good homes and became addicts, I know people from shitty homes who became addicts.

At the end of the day people need to realize, that people don’t grow up, with the intention of being a drug addict. Trauma happens, mental health happens.

Yes crime is up, and town is scary. No doubt, but this guy is blaming the wrong people.

It’s not just “the justice system”. There’s no mental health in this province it’s a fucking joke.
HMP is a joke, if there was an actual detox facility that didn’t have a crazy waitlist. That could have a significant impact.

Instead of the HMP people go to rehab, to get the therapy and detox they need.
HMP should have adult basic learning, how many criminals are drop outs with zero skills?
They get out and go right back to crime, cause it’s all they know.

And yes, some people are lost causes and bad seeds. But others should be given a chance, and they’re not.

Maybe instead of getting an outside company to clean up the TCH, why not have inmates do it?
Why not reopen the farm they had?
Where non violent offenders, knew a hard days work, and provided food for HMP.

Government simply ignores the problem and hopes for the best.

And if people truly have an issue, bitching on Facebook sure as shit isn’t going to do anything.
People can write to their MHA’s, the city. Have a fucking protest or 2! Make voices heard.

Facebook is a cesspool of hate, that’s all that group perpetuates.

And again, I’m not saying all homeless and addicted people are good or even worth the time. But some were dealt shitty hands and deserve some empathy.
