Plus Lisa Helps.

Yes she started it in her master plan . Remember when she made her first speech and said she was changing the Victoria we knew.

Lisa Helps is Satan incarnate.

Today I was walking at the intersection of Fairfield and Cook. A scruffy-looking guy was bashing away on the walk signal press button and shouting and swearing. He was overdressed for the weather, I'm sure anyone else would be suffering heatstroke, plus he could hardly put his feet down to walk, as if he was in great pain with his feet. These people need to be in institutions for their own good. Of course I made sure to stay on the other side of the street.

The B.C. Ministry of Transportation says it has handed people living at a rest stop along the Trans-Canada Highway in Abbotsford notice that they must leave within two weeks.

 

In a statement to CBC News, a ministry spokesperson said 15 people living at the Bradner rest area were served notice in person and signs were posted around the site.

 

The rest area is just one of many spots along the highway through the Fraser Valley where people have been camping — some of them for years — on public land, off-grid. Many of the people living at these sites have full-time jobs or pension income but can't afford the escalating price of rent.

 

Highway construction, part of the Fraser Valley Highway 1 Corridor Improvement Program, will result in the closure of the Bradner stop on July 26, a spokesperson for the ministry told CBC News in an email.

I'm not so sure the rebar sticking out is a mistake. If you are going to mount posts on those slabs, the rebar goes into holes in the post to hold them in place horizontally.

[Nparker]

The rebar isn't a mistake, but opening a junkie joint at this location definitely is.

Ya it’s 100% residential area, save for the arena and dairy facility.

Stop the insanity, moving the Solid Outreach location on Pandora to a densely populated residential neighborhood at 2155 Dowler Place is not a solution.  If it is no longer safe for first responders to enter the 900 block of Pandora without a police escort are the residence of this area going to given a police escort every time they need to go out for milk???

North Park residents have started a petition calling for a reconsideration of Dowler Place facility: https://www.change.o...onsumption-site

Welcome to VV, CJ.

Victoria Fire won't enter the 500-block of Ellice now, without a VicPD escort. That's the Rock Bay Landing block.

 

So now Victoria has two no-go zones for first responders. It's not yet confirmed if that includes paramedics, or just VFD.

So I am guessing if you live on Pandora or Ellice (which would be a nightmare already, not sure how you could) you now have reduced services for fire and ambulance on top of it all?  Likely to happen to Dowler place next, those residents are rightly concerned.

Boo hoo hoo, cry me a river.
 

‘People could get brain damage or even die’: Outreach society worried over new response times to Pandora Ave.

SOLID Outreach says a new strategy where paramedics and firefighters have to wait for police to arrive before responding to some blocks of Pandora Avenue could be a matter of life and death.

Mmm, makes me wonder where the safe supply comes from....   
 

For the first time, London police are speaking out about the diversion of safe supply drugs happening in the city.

“Diverted safe supply is being resold into our community – its being trafficked into other communities, and it is being used as currency in exchange for fentanyl, fueling the drug trade,” said Chief Thai Truong

It’s everyone who is impacted.

Paramedics and firefighters now stationed and waiting, which will delay their response to other calls.

VicPD now has resources where nothing happens, while you wait for officers as a burglar is breaking into your home.

Some politicians in our region want ti defund the police and further reduce their effectiveness.

Lisa Helps wrecked everything.

My apologies, New Boy error here. I mistakenly posted this in Crime thread.
Re: Pandora attack on paramedic.
Today's TC, Grant McKenzie, Our Place spokesman: 'As for the July 11 incident, McKenzie said the person involved had experienced about 30 seizures over the past six months and his behaviour had changed dramatically as a result of multiple brain injuries.

When he came out of a seizure, he would be violent and uncontrollable, he said.

“Afterwards, he would be heartsick because he didn’t know what he did and he didn’t know why he did it. You know, even in the middle of a violent episode, he would be screaming out: ‘I don’t know what I’m doing,’ ” McKenzie said.'.

How he said this with a straight face is beyond me: 'he would be screaming out: ‘I don’t know what I’m doing,’ ” McKenzie said'.

Ii mean it's laughable. I very, very, much suspect someone saying, 'l don't know what I'm doing.', knows exactly what they're doing, and is trying to exhibit the contrary condition in the way you might expect a child to do.

Did Grant McKenzie actually swallow that nonsense? Does he expect we will?

[Nparker]

He only needs those who fund Our Place to swallow his story.
