Fines just increased from $50,000 to $150,000 and up to 6 months in jail for a hike in the woods.
Really hope this guy goes and kicks rocks!

The government does not fear the people at all. They are legit testing the first rollout of Climate Lockdowns.

Dead bodies being discovered in local parks with needles and crack pipes in the playground 
The guy interviewed said the exact same thing I’ve been saying, the DTES is just spreading outward.
Spent the last 4 days in Penticton, it’s worse than ever (surprise surprise) strung out homeless -everywhere- in the downtown core. People trying to use public parks with homeless people smoking crack at picnic tables, people on patios being harassed by beggars with shopping carts full of cans *thumbs up

honestly, if I ever got to that level of addiction, poverty, I'd just rather die. OD and put a DNR sign on me. Baffles me why someone might want to keep on this kind of existence ...

Sat at Peachland Sushi the other day with the family and it was a supercar / hot rod parade all afternoon.
The system is doing its job to eliminate as many misfit white and indigenous men as possible through poisoned drugs. If anything, the system is going to try and kill these types faster. Expect a new drug that kills quicker in the next couple years. Quote:

Until it kills you.

Peachland is like.. 200 feet of Main Street. Of course there’s no vagrants there, there’s nothing there.

If the only thing you see and fixate on is decrepitude and homeless people? Why don't you just stay safely locked in your SFH preferably in your basement and arm yourself against the coming horde. The apocalypse is coming!  | |

Would be nice just to not see crack heads everywhere?
I guess it’s too much to ask for
I think the thing is, I AM out.. where some people here seem like they go to work, close their doors, and stick their heads in the sand here.

I dunno whenever I go somewhere for a vacation I'm not hyper fixated on visible signs of poverty, I'm just trying to enjoy myself or if not, I just move along.
I know this is your MO now but I don't see how bitching about it here changes anything? Maybe ask the crackheads themselves to move along because they're blocking your view or petition whatever level of government to send in the army to move them.
Like what Trump is doing right now to DC.  | |

I was in Penticton a couple weeks ago and I skipped the Okanagan beaches but the rest of town was the same as always. Zero issues at the parks we went to.

OTOH, if it feels like an endless orgasm (until it wears off)...  Quote:

Is it too much to ask for? The question to really ask is -- how do we do that? As in, how do we push back against the tide of drug use, distribution network, and raw materials production?

Oh totally, the Irish countryside is littered with Sydney Sweeney lookalikes in potato sack jean rags with empty bowls going around saying "please sir, can I have some more" except the bowls are their mouths and instead of gruel....well ok you get the idea.
But seriously Dublin has a big homeless problem too and is grimey as fuck in parts but I don't go around posting on forum boards complaining endlessly about it first thing when I get home.

Oh man we had one taxi driver in Dublin, he was the friendliest guy we met in the whole country. Up to that point I was kinda disappointed that people in Ireland didn't come up to me randomly and start talking my ear off like the stereotype it is. But this taxi driver, I thought I was going to get like Abdul from Kabul but nope - I got a Ireland's biggest hype man leprechaun, kept going on about how awesome Galway and the Irish countryside was telling us to stay in offbeat places like lighthouse airbnbs, giving tips on all the stuff and places to eat.
15 minute taxi ride I probably more tips from him than anyone else.
*shrugs* maybe positivity just attracts positivity, and vice versa.

When I was in Dublin certainly didn’t see anything close to here. Only spent like 3 weeks in Ireland though, was only in the “touristy” spots didn’t go into the crack dens I guess.
When you leave the lower mainland Supafamous, feel free to weigh in. Its ok, we get it, you’ve invested all your time, money, and efforts into this degrading society, you’re far too invested to actually face the reality that your kids are probably gonna have a pretty rough future ahead of them in Canada. So you have no other choice but to bury your head in the sand, close the windows, and pretend everything is rosey. I don’t blame ya.

This is true, Dublin doesn't have a DTES equivalent
But neither does Penticton, I imagine.
