I'm very very fortunate because I lived in The harborside motel in Nanaimo before it became a tent city. Everything in this province just keeps getting worse and worse and worse and worse.

We are flooded with DEI hires under Danielle Smith I am getting 88 dollars a month for shelter because I am living with my 84 yr old mother who has to pay 93% of our rent from her old age pension,trying to explain that to an African worker this morning guess she didnt like the truth and hung up on me.
@Dukkha-Bhavana Says:
Compared to the comparatively easy to be homeless in Victoria, the number of tent encampment in Edmonton sounds insanely high.
Has Edmonton had much higher immigration in the past 4 years?
@Dukkha-Bhavana Says:
Victoria BC claims to have succeeded year after year with park homeless relocations.
Homeless here want blood. There is no success of any kind.
We can only assume that Edmonton authorities are lying about their success until we either see it for ourselves, or receive information from a source we trust.

Treatment can sometimes take months to get in. Assistance gives a person in Alberta $357 for rent. Where in Canada can you even find a room for that amount?
@amandasly4806 Says:
Funny thing. Lethbridge shelter is more dangerous than being in minus 50 in the winter.
@kristayaskolskie7503 Says:
This is probably the most thought provoking interview I have watched on this platform. Coming from small town Ontario where we are in the midst of an addiction/homelessness crisis, I 100% agree that it is time to take a different policy approach to these troubling social issues. Thank you both

What stops all the other provinces of putting their homeless on the buses and shipping them to Alberta now then
@faithkoopman5655 Says:
Back in the 50s and 60s even the 70s we had psychiatric hospitals and the government shut them all down because they didn’t want to pay union wages to the workers so they thought it would be cheaper to put them in little houses closed down the institution and now they’re all on the streets

If you come from an area where it can be 50 below in Winter, Vancouver is paradise and a lot of Albertans are choosing to live here, drugged but warm so consider that in your railing against the Left Coast.

Sorry MR JP. I usually love your videos I think you need to hire a research analyst . I would take what JN says with a grain of salt. Do you know this was around Xmas in freezing weather. Where did people turn up in emerg rooms ? What happened to their meds ? I would appreciate you or your research analyst to research these statements by those who disagree with Mr JN And or have an another viewpoint on this you always encourage truth and speaking out truthfully. Yet it is gotten so bad here that people are afraid to say anything that differs I am a disabled senior CFS. Chronic fatigue syndrome and bipolar with a disabled husband turned 70 w Parkinson’s and FLD. and I am afraid for the first time in our lives to say anything that would piss someone off. And it did happen at a department store to me So I expect to be crucified in the comment section. And to those who will say oh she’s mentally ill old witch I did not become ill until I was 45 w mental illness which is another story and I have worked all my professional life as an RN in alberta rural and in Edmonton either on the floor or teaching and I have never thought I see the day when albertans cannot have a rational conversation. Gullible. I feel you have been gullible I hope you will follow up on and go deeper. On this. this Tent city issue Thank you for all your videos I appreciate the time it must take to do these. I don’t always agree with you but I learn lots from you and admire you very much

Wow, Mr. Peterson you have out done yourself with this one. Excellent Job, Excellent.
@tuyyo1946 Says:
There’s one thing I don’t understand or comprehend: if people hears, sees, knows about the consequences of using drugs; why do people uses them? I think the excuse of “coping” with any issues is not valid; there are other healthy way to deal with problems and avoid becoming a burden for their city and citizens, draining resources that can be used in more constructive ways.

hey if the Canadians can get their heads screwed on straight then there is hope for us American's. thats an arogant thing for us to call arouseleves. we all live in America. Actually, we all live in Nroth America together. U.S.A. citizens... USAyans... USAers... we need a better term.

Harm Reduction is a FAILED ideology - say it. Stop calling it a compassionate approach, must end the idea that giving needles, testing drugs for purity and wish people will ask for help is NOT working in Portugal and Amsterdam.
@marktaylor747 Says:
Missed the BIG point that this started recently with the gateway drug, Cannabis. Homelessness, crime, drug addiction started with Cannabis, fentanyl came later after the cannabis dose got too high due to tolerance. MUST REMOVE CANNABIS - otherwise they will pick another drug ....
@bridgetstirling6017 Says:
We need to go way further up stream.
@twas4kids Says:
Need to discuss the importance of allowing a gateway drug, cannabis, lose on society.
Claiming alcohol is worse is sadly misguided and is exactly what the marijuana industry loves.
Addiction rates are higher in teens with high potency cannabis along with major life long brain damage done to those teens - ignored in this interview.
@twas4kids Says:
Trudeau placed legal smoked marijuana products in the homes of Canadian children. He through legalization allowed for adult modeling of drug use. He and his government down played the risks associated with use including the science that establishes THC as a gateway drug. It is highly probable that all these poor souls lost to addiction started with marijuana.
@randycliff4045 Says:
The leadership (so called) in British Columbia is so frustrating. In addition, Vancouver constantly arriving at decisions with the pretense that those choices only impact their own city, but that's not true. I believe there is still a majority of citizens who declares themselves to be traditional families, yet they are the powerless majority, this a limited declaration stating, "at least we aren't in Ontario". So many are moving to Alberta, but I'm prayerful that B.C. will see the guidepost which is the lighthouse called Alberta.

Thank you gentlemen for informing us about the camps in Alberta. I thank God that we in Alberta are doing something about drugs and lgbq. Our children and grandchildren's live will be saved by what you are doing. God bless yous.

Thank you for this insightful interview. As a retired outreach worker and mental health support training, I saw first hand that the only pathway to recovery is to build hope. I wish that I was still working at Boylestreet and helping this process under MLA Mr. Nixon.;
@InnerBeing75 Says:
Substance abuse treatment facilities supported by the government in Alberta are not meeting expectations. Only 6% of addicts recover using the current treatment methods. Clearly, we need to explore alternative therapies.
The Recovery, Addiction, and Homelessness sector appears to be more concerned with financial gain than with assisting those in need. Information is frequently exaggerated to support the narrative and secure billions of dollars in taxpayer funding for expansion. Why is the problem getting worse at every step?
Transparent Government or drained taxation.

Live in Edmonton and just picked a 24 year old passed out on my lawn march 27 and had family come get him . Fentanyl is everywhere here and month before that i found a hipsack with about 10 used needles and several pieces of Tinfoil which again was Fentanyl i assume and tossed it in the garage bin where unaccesable , as was on ground next to fence where kids were walking by.
I just said it today to an older lady , " They say it takes a village to raise a child . Currently, that child is in a tent , on a sidewalk doing drugs so hard we call it a Poisoning !"
What happened to the Village ? and Whom is making money 💰 from all this !.... 😢

Thankyou for this interview with Minuster Nixon. We should be hearing this from our news services, but sadly they have either been bought or care to totally abdicate any responsibility to citizens
No wonder they are failing with readership.

@SandraRatcliffe-i2q Says:
From BC. Been sober from 22 months. With no help from BC government except jail. I sobered up in jail and with the help, love, and support of my family I stayed that way. Used to shoot speed and down for 25 years. So it is possible. Way to go Alberta. You don’t want to go way of BC. I am ashamed of my province’s homeless, drug problem and lack of help. When I used drugs I felt like I was being supported to die. I lived in supported housing. I lived on the street. Now I live in my own house that my mom got for me I can afford on my disability. I volunteer 4 days a week in a Thriftstore. With help people like me can be an asset to society instead of liability.
