What A Planet Rebooted - Stories from the World of EMS

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Why the fuck don't they fund metal health infrastructure and get these dual diagnosis folks the help they need? It seems we're spending dollars to save pennies when it's all said and done.

The whole world dumped their mentally ill out into society 30+ years ago and we're still dealing with the consequences

Because the self-righteous, woke-leaning, self-aggrandizing, leftists…..that’s why.
Somewhere in NW BC trying (yet again) to trade a(nother) Swede…..

Mëds I agree 1,000,000% and I am self-righteous woke dude who just loves Swedish hockey players.

Seriously though, the public wants something done and the NDP have no balls. The conservatives are to busy with other party things to ever get their shit together and form government.

Hey Mëds, I know you said you would do a further write-up, but a quick question first. I don't know how much you are able to discern the background of the addicts that take you away from your real work but how much it would you say is mental health vs trauma vs homelessness/poverty as the cause for people descending into this hopeless cycle?
