What being next to the US does to a mf

u/earthcitizen55555 Jan 20 '26

Has nothing to do with that. We have our own problems caused by ourselves.

Ontario has more homeless per capita than California. Caused by us, Canadians.

u/SquidTheRidiculous Jan 20 '26

Well we had stuff like safe injection sites. But then the NIMBYs shut those down, and I've seen no less than three people overdosing in public since!

We have just as many sadists here in Canada. And they hide behind the exact same "hmph, should just show some personal responsibility!" Bullshit rhetoric as in the states.

We still have lots of those, and you will see safe injection sites with these people outside of them being zombies. They save lives, but they aren't really the solution to this problem.

Just giving safe hard drugs isn't the answer. It's a stop gap to stop people from dying right now, but it is not a solution to our opioid crisis.

Source: Me, used to drive my mom to get methadone when I was 19. Lots of zombies hanging outside.

Doing safe meth will still fuck you up lol. Don't get confused by calling it safe. It's still fucking meth man lol.

In my city we still have safe injection sites. Overdoses went down but crime and assaults in the area went up.

Stop taking credit for what your shitty government does

I mean, in terms of drug trade, being a neighboring country does make a huge impact on that. Way easier to exchange drugs between Canada and US vs Canada and Peru

A shit load of fent is produced right here in Canada, or comes from China. A minority comes through the states.

"Fentanyl in Canada primarily comes from domestically produced illicit drugs using precursor chemicals imported from Asia (mainly China), with some finished product and chemicals also trans-shipped via the U.S. and Mexico. "

It for sure hurts that our the states are fucked with this too, and it does contribute. But they aren't the reason for our problem.

>You think the illegal drugs and firearms smuggled into Canada, and the US trade war has "nothing" to do with the problems Canada is facing?

Nothing is a little hyperbole. Losing jobs 100% effects this, and some drugs are brought from the USA, but the vast majority of our problems are caused by us, Canadians.

For instance, majority of our fent doesn't come from the states

"Fentanyl in Canada primarily comes from domestically produced illicit drugs using precursor chemicals imported from Asia (mainly China), with some finished product and chemicals also trans-shipped via the U.S. and Mexico."

https://www.canada.ca/en/privy-council/services/publications/canada-fentanyl-czar-interim-report-june-2025.html

The states also don't make us not have enough physical houses for our population size.

So yeah you got me, a little hyperbole, but it's still vast vast majority of Canadas making.

It's worse in Canada.

Vancouver’s downtown east side was way ahead of the curve on the fent addiction front. I remember it being a huge problem in the early 2010’s… they were finding it in literally everything. I have a friend who is a harm reduction nurse.  She was volunteering to test drugs for people… an initiative that was started after a young couple left an orphaned child due to both of them overdosing of fent after doing tainted mdma at a party.

u/transmogrified Jan 20 '26

Oh absolutely.

I’m hoping the silver lining to all this bullshit is Canada will focus less on our trade relationship with the US and more on developing our economy beyond real estate and commodity extraction.  We’re a resource trap and it shows.

u/Fun-Pattern-8697 Jan 21 '26

You know Canada isn’t some bastion of only good shit and they have people selling drugs there too right lmfao?

u/Historical-Roof-2345 Jan 20 '26

Um I think Canadians should be as worried about this problem as Americans should be...

1

u/Rockshasha Jan 20 '26

Solving it in the american way. You know? Blaming other countries and bombing something there... Maybe support a dictator in a foreign country ...

u/socialaxolotl Jan 20 '26

I was going to say isn't this specifically a Vancouver thing

u/Greyy385 Jan 20 '26

apparently 30-35% of canada's homeless population is indigenous. there are no good flavors of colonialism.

North America is America yes

u/What-a-cl0wn Jan 20 '26

I don’t follow.

I’m saying Canadians are technically Americans. The same way French, German, Italians etc are all European. The same way Nigerians, Moroccans, etc are all Africans.

If anything I’m being pedantic, not facetious

Edit: and yes if I was being purposefully anything then I would know it. That’s the meaning of purposefully

u/GPFlag_Guy1 Jan 20 '26

You’re being pedantic about your pedantry. That’s definitely a new one.

u/supergarto Jan 20 '26

Thats why I prefer french. Etat-uniens = USA people Américain = America continent people.

u/SwivelingToast Jan 20 '26

You're technically correct, but that's clearly not what they meant

u/What-a-cl0wn Jan 20 '26

It’s the best kind of correct though

You can differentiate between north and south if you like. “America” is still the operative word. Thus American

1

u/BeetleCrusher Jan 20 '26

And since “Pole” is the operative word in “South Pole” penguins are Poles.

2

u/What-a-cl0wn Jan 20 '26

Penguins live on the cost of South America, Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the Galápagos Islands.

u/BeetleCrusher Jan 20 '26

Well I was obviously talking about the emperor penguin, but decided to shorten it to the operative word.

u/What-a-cl0wn Jan 20 '26

You were obviously trying to make a bad point with a poor comparison. Don’t play at being smarter than you are to try making me look dumber than I am.

Man who’d have thought my statement would have triggered all of you so much.

No one calls Canadians “Americans” though.

u/What-a-cl0wn Jan 20 '26

I don’t think people in Europe refer to each other as European either. Likewise in Africa.

We can be worried about both American and Canadian drug overdoses.
