Is there anyone else running for mayor this year? How about council?

Ah. I see the yearly new recruits to Pandora have arrived from across Canada. The word is not out about any heightened enforcement and there's still loads of free services here for anyone across Canada.
With the World Cup coming next to Vancouver and Toronto I suspect this will be one of our worst years ever for Pandora, Johnson and Douglas. You can already see the expansion, it's like a rotting core on Pandora that's slowly moving outwards. Problem is, once they arrive here, they are not likely to leave!
They should have never put the services on Pandora so close together and close to downtown - and now with everyone seeing the size of the issue, it won't be able to be moved anywhere else that isn't in the middle of nowhere. CoV really painted themselves in a corner here.

Taken right around 1PM by a member of the public.
This is what you’re having to walk over and around when exiting busses downtown. Note the one person passed out behind the man sitting up.

“A lot of new faces. Lots of new faces,” says Kirk Wilson, who manages an apartment building on North Cowichan’s Lewis Street. Wilson says Lewis Street is once again filling up with unhoused people, and many are coming from out of town.
“And it’s scary… I am definitely worried because I’ve spoken to a few and they have been coming from Vancouver, Ladysmith, Victoria,” he says.
“Yeah everyday. A new face and it’s sad,” says Eddie Peter who is living unhoused near Lewis Street, and is originally from Alaska.
Peter says he is worried about the number of young people he’s seeing on Duncan and North Cowichan streets.
