Hastings Street. Vancouver, British Columbia.

A view of Hastings Street in Vancouver, British Columbia. An area entirely taken over by drug addicts and homeless people. The scariest place I have ever been.

It's one part of a city, of a province, then of a country. the whole country isn't like that. Learn your facts before you run your mouth about my beautiful BC

The Downtown Eastside of Vancouver B.C. is one of the most unified, cultural diverse, prideful, places in the world.The Artists, the outreach workers, the cops, the dealers, and the users are all serving a purpose greater then themselves.And here's the resentment I have with these tearful odes to Hastings...is everything from the hip hop rappers to the CBC news to Eva Mendes comes down here with their cameras BUT NOBODY STAYS ...they just exploit it and leave it in the same state as it was

Despite my extreme hatred for virtually every branch of government in Canada, I don't think there is an easy solution to the drug addict situation in Canadian cities. The only thing local governments can do is round them up and ship them to a different province, run a bus load every day to Alberta, the addicts will get tired or working their way back to Vancouver and the numbers wll eventually diminish. It's sad, but what else can be done to clean up the problem?

[bodizone1]

now what do you think about liberal socialist bc? lol

[210482fmj]

sadly there just ain't enough jobs for everybody. We need a new system to live by and one that ensures equality. This shit ain't fare. Knowbody deserves this. We don't need to pay to exist in this world. We have the corporations to thank for this.

So many videos shot from cars by people who are less worthy of respect than the downtrodden they fetishize.

[JonnyRattatat]

@xCUNTFAYCE pretty sure you missed the point bud. he said the whole country isn't like this. it's fucked but it's pretty much all in a 6 block radius. native reserves and whalley aside, BC is a beautiful place to live, and we are very lucky to live here.

[Slidewayzs]

they shud line up all those fuckin time wasters and just shoot them all get rid of there flilth and desease from the earth... fuckin disgustin rotten dirty bastards

[ojyhofoy]

I tried to walk from hastings part of downtown going to chinatown with buddies and you can feel you're on a third world country while going through that way.

@Toos1

Where do you live in BC? You obviously haven't seen all of BC...

Have you been to any of the indian reserves on Vancouver island? Or what about in Kamloops right now? How are you liking the violence there?

OR, what about Surrey? Which for crime is worse then Vancouver.

OR, what about how the HA resides in BC.'

BC is the most dangerous place in Canada, and that's the truth.
