This was in an area that's supposed to be better than Harewood.

This was a targeted shooting, right? Well then it's probably gang related. Where do gangs get money? That's right, DRUGS!

Which drugs? Why fentanyl of course!

Why are drugs so profitable? Because we're turning Nanaimo into a haven for drug users across the continent. This draws tweakers here from all over.

Why are we turning Nanaimo in to a tweaker haven? Because we continue to back programs and policies that enable them to live comfortable and prosperous lives.

How do we enable them to live comfortable and prosperous lives? By giving them free needles and resuscitating them when they OD.

The sooner we make this city a toxic and hostile environment for this human trash, the sooner they will stop coming here. This is how you curb demand and deter drug gangs.

This happened in the middle of the day on a weekend. I'd rather be safe in my city. I couldn't care less for those who seek to make Nanaimo a dangerous place and I eagerly await the day the pendulum swings the other way and we begin to solve this problem with force.

Here we all are bickering about some incompetent low budget diversity hire and the idiots we elected and deserve all while we've spent years turning a blind eye to these needle exchanges, crackhead camps, shootings, and home invasions.

If these degenerates are supposedly equal to us in our society by virtue of simply being human, then it's about time we expect them to behave like humans within that society. I'm sick and tired of this pandering to the minority that honestly believes that if we waste enough money these tweakers will somehow become productive members of society. It's not going to happen and we've got plenty of good people much more deserving of the investment.
