I have never been to Vancouver yet, but isn't the East-side where that swine farmer got most of his victims from? It must be really awful, but what could be done if a lot of them are already hooked on drugs?
Here is a site with photos of all the missing women:

It would interest me to hear about their life's journey.... they probably started off as neglected and abused children. It's all so sad.:-( Aids must be rampant, too.

Part of the problem stems from the fact that she was on the same stage with Cambell.

Ah well maybe she should have tossed more cake at the peasantry. She's lucky they didn't drag the guillotine out, like in the good old days when we knew what to do with the crowns mouthpieces.I'v heard her speak lots of times, she's a boring, maudlin sentamentalist who says and does nothing but apologize for deceit and power. Canadians owe her nothing, perhaps a bit more civility when she's being asked to get stuffed but that's about it.:cool:

Campbell....?? Wasn't he once in some scandal? He must be on his second or third term now.
Here the first site via google:
The B.C. government is providing an additional $41 million for housing to try to get some of the estimated 2,200 homeless people off the streets and into shelters and assistance programs.
The B.C. government says homelessness attacks the dignity of citizens.
(CBC)
Premier Gordon Campbell made the announcement at the Yukon Shelter in Vancouver's east side Friday, accompanied by Housing Minister Rich Coleman and other civic officials.
"I'm here to tell you that we're going to take a number of steps to help break the cycle of homelessness," Campbell said.
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2007/10/12/bc-homeless.html

Yes, I agree, to be without ones own home would affect a persons dignity. I should sit down and count my blessings.... having my own place is one of them!!

How to solve homeless problem:

Allow homesteading for the homeless on crown land. If you need a house, build a house.

Im all for easier and more socialist policies to help the homeless, but in the end lets not remove from the table the solution most of the world uses and that has been used through most of history.

You shouldnt have to rely on others to solve your homelessness, if you want to fix it yourself, you should be able to. If you don't then you should be willing to take what help is available and make due.

"The idea was really to come to Vancouver, to visit the Downtown Eastside, to meet these women, to listen, to learn from them ... and to share some of her own experiences she's seen across Canada since she's been appointed," said Blouin.

Now if that don't put yer BS detector on high alert, nothin will.

Pretty fukkin noble of her by god.. Sh!t, all she wanted was a bit of ass kissin. Couldn't even do that for her majesty el queenie's rep in kanada.

I'm with 'ya Nuggler.

She is the appointed, symbolic representative of inherited privilege - the exact opposite of "earning it yourself."

I worked on an event with the GG last week, and I had to bite my tongue. Yeah I met her. She seems smart and nice, but she represents something that stinks to high heaven.

Why in the world did she take the job?

She was appointed for one reason only, to act as a deflector for Canadas criminal involvement in the overthrow of Hati's democraticly elected government. Canada continues to support the suppression of democracy in that country, as well as paveing the way for the brutal use of it's citizens in slave factorys. She is not a nobel person by any stretch of the imagination.

While I agree with your assesment I would ask you to consider the alternative. What would you do if there were no diversity of opinion? Perhaps you'd be complaining about that as well eh. Get drunk eh, no problem, as soon as you forward the check for $57.35 Canadian I'll endeavour to follow your advice in the matter with relish and gusto.;-)

I like her, but she is just a decorative figurehead with no power. Why do we still cater to such a tradition?

I googled: http://www.dominionpaper.ca/features/2004/07/21/canada_emp.html

Canada, Empire
Humanitarianism, peacekeeping, and other myths
by Justin Podur
The United States is engaging in a bloody occupation in Iraq; it overthrew the democratically elected government in Haiti, enforced by the Marines; it sowed already devastated Afghanistan with cluster bombs and replaced the Taliban with warlords; it is engaging in ongoing efforts to oust Cuban and Venezuelan governments; it is supporting repression in Colombia; it is constantly threatening Iran, Syria, and North Korea; it offers unconditional support to Israel's bloody occupation of Palestine.
These actions are part of a very deliberate agenda to deny self-determination to the peoples of the world, keeping the world 'safe' for investors, corporations and militarists. This agenda undermines democracy on behalf of elites in the rich countries and their clients in the poor countries.
In most of these ventures, Canada has been openly supportive; in others, its support has been behind the scenes. What is the historical pattern of Canadian foreign policy? What is Canada doing today and why? Opposing imperial depredations is something everyone of conscience must do, but in order to change Canada's policies it is important to know what that entails. The record is mainly one of complicity and hypocrisy, with the occasional open crime.
And in light of our recent withdrawal of "certain" countries from our list of torture states, here the explanation:
"....Canada is in a colonial relationship with the US. What the US says goes. Canada imports manufactured goods and exports natural resources. It's colonialism."
Have we always been like that? When did it start? Which PM aligned us to the wishes of the States? Not Trudeau, I should think! Mulroony for sure!!

Yep, you sure proved me wrong.:roll::lol:

Perhaps hanging around 9/11 truthers and lack of sunlight and vitamin D in Moms basement has increased cell loss in your paranoid and anti-social mind.

Stop inhaling oxygen that normal people are using.

Their is probably more AIDS within 10 square blocks down their than the rest of Canada combined. The place is completely out of control.

Lotsawimmin on this here net thing with monikers what fool ya. I would have sworn Dancin Loon was some Indian brave or whatnot....................even Nugglers can be reely rong from time to time.

:tard:(quite a bit oftern, Nugg.)

Wait a minute. Dief cancelled the Arrow, and we bought into the US missle thing......holy smokes........forgot that.

Most of the people living in the down town east side have no real interest in honest work and are either pan handling, breaking into cars, selling themselves, or are receiving some sort of welfare payment or all of the above. The only reason why people live there is because society has made it permissible for them to do so. These so called “anti-poverty” activists are not offering a solution but rather a band aid. Another shelter, soup kitchen, or hand out is not what these people need. These people need to look after themselves and learn to become independent rather than be supported perpetually and unremittingly in some socialist state where they are encouraged to remain at the bottom. After all why work when you don't have too?

I may come off as being cold hearted but when I see someone holding a sign saying they are unemployed and need money for food I usually will inquire them about it. They will usually tell me this, that, and the other happened and some how that's how they ended up holding a sign at a cross walk. Instead of throwing them a few dollars in sympathy I offer them a job and even a ride to work and some even a place to stay. But I have as of yet to have anyone of these so called “helpless” individuals actually take me up on it. Even if I go back to their “spot” and ask why did they not come to work or meet me where I asked them too they will always come up with some excuse or reason why they could not then usually look away to the next person exclaiming “Spare change please.”
