These are junkies
@BrentCarson-pc6ko Says:
@2:14 "Oxymoron" is right! Only an ox or a moron would think giving out free drugs is going to get people clean. I went to AA meetings for 20 years; I never saw them giving out booze to newcomers.

lol everyone does drugs
@TheLonewolfottawa Says:
as a residential center survivor and wardship street kid and ex adict I will tell you first hand you can"t help weak minded people blaming their own crap on others. Methadone is a short term treatment but people stay on the free buzz for years and blame mental this mental that ,Stop making excuses for people and wasting money force them to do something or don"t bother
@SPORTINGBRUSH Says:
I lived here for over 50 years and l don’t know any of them
@SPORTINGBRUSH Says:
Give them treatment, then an apartment, training for a job
@AliaM-fi2jj Says:

@DorothySinclair-x3l Says:
You don't want to go to these places for help, you don't want to go by rules and curfews, you want freedom to do what you want, do your drugs whenever you want, steal at night, everyone are now getting cameras, cause of you people, get yourself straightened out, and get a job, town people are getting tired of all your crap
@DorothySinclair-x3l Says:
There's more than peanut butter and jam sandwiches, you just want what is up to your standards, you've scattered fruit, vegetables and can goods all over not wanting them, people drop off things, but again you're picky and again the items are not up to your standards..
@DorothySinclair-x3l Says:
Look at all those bikes piled up, you think they may have been stolen 😒 there's been alot stolen, changed upped, serial numbers scratched off, bikes are not cheap, some of these people spend big bucks in a good bike ... nothing is done about it.. ornaments stolen off people's lawns, nothing done about it, and they whine that their stuff gets stolen, gee, how do you think people feel for when you steal their stuff, seriously

A nice cold winter would clear this encampment better than the government ever could.
@matthewpalmer2250 Says:
I love all these opinionated people who claim to love their community but pass the "liability" to someone else to do something.
@heatherroydiy Says:
They are crying out for help! Their cries are not for anger and frustration but for genuine assistance. They need help to break free from their struggles, find meaningful work, and hold onto their integrity. These individuals are lacking the necessary resources. If we don't step up to fight for them, how can they be expected to lift themselves up?"
@adlerbr12 Says:

@Moiratiki Says:
Ahhh...the way the security guard started the grooming with " dirty jokes" ...yeah I worked with a guy with that type of humor, he ended up fired for sexting with clients.
@jokafaulkner217 Says:
Town does nothing!
@4spdragtop Says:
Come check out Peterborough EXACT SAME NONSENSE!! Do ANY of these people contribute to society? Are they held accountable for all the wrongs they commit? Both my son and I were approached/assaulted by one of the walking dead, middle of the day. Kicked his a$$ and someone called the cops. Cops came....took a report(wrote nothing down) then came back and said "yeah we're familiar with him/it", bit did SQUAT. It's a literal/Liberal joke. As MILLIONS have said they need help. And CANADA needs a new governing party NOW. What's that saying?? Truck Fudeau!
@samanthadouglas5571 Says:
It's like this everywhere in Ontario and well Canada..
@jayw5580 Says:
They're NOT locals.
@careyleroux3784 Says:
Great job Tamara and God Bless you and the people affected in Cobourg.
@sharonteetzel1968 Says:
This just makes me sad and angry. This is Trudope's Canada. 😔
@KelleySanders-yq5su Says:
Living here it baffles my mind. Who are these people? I don't recognize a single face living in the encampment. They are definitely not local people.
@APRILQUIGLEY-e4p Says:
Lots of hardworking people nedd help also period.
@APRILQUIGLEY-e4p Says:
There isn't a damn thing anyone can do to force people to get clean/sober that don't want to. Nor can anyone force anyone to there rent and not buy drugs. Additionally, there are a tonne of O.H.I.P. run rehabilitation centers in Ontario. If you want to get to rehab you and only you can make it happen. Everyone in that encampment knows this. The blame game is there addiction justyfying using. Lindsay, Ontario built a 12 million dollar brand new building for addicts in a residential neighborhood. Giving addicts brand new condos. In 3 years the building has been destroyed and gaurds are now armed. All Lindsay did is open a legal red light district. I'm a recovering addict who doesn't mince words. Special treatment just enables addiction period. If I decide to blow my money on drugs I get evicted. Addicts in active addiction should be no different.

I’ve got a nine year old child and used needles in the lane way beside my house. I don’t know what the solution is, but I now worry about the safety of my child. I can handle this- she shouldn’t have to worry about crossing the street to play with her friends
@Wesley-td3he Says:
This crap flows through our borders, the precursor chemicals.... Why don't our officials enact stricter laws to scan our ports from China. China is actively destroying the fabric and the social cohesion of North America through the import of drug materials to sell on the black markets, perpetuating this social disaster in our countries. It's not a coincidence that China uses drugs as a means of social warfare. It's not radical thinking. The British did the same in the 1800s through the Asian Opium Dens, making the Chinese addicted to opium and controlling the Chinese that way. The Chinese don't forget. Now they want to destroy us from within with new drugs, the same old action of destruction. Canada, USA. It's a matter of rocking our economy and our social cohesion, destroying our communities.

Also consider investing money earlier in at risk youth. Cheaper in money n ppls lives later.
@dorismahoney1440 Says:
Ppl waiting for rehab pls consider AA meeting or NA meetings. WE DO RECOVER.
@dorismahoney1440 Says:
Please get rid of the dealers. No drugs, no getting high. I'm suspicious that this is something that is wanted and enabled by the powers that be. Calling BS on this.
@myopinion6092 Says:

@Ynalaw Says:
Cobourg has the best supply! Dealers go unpunished.You can always score some real goodies. Cobourg safe injection sites are the best; wonderful service.I love getting high at the near the high school; I even made some friends with the students.
@georgejetson1025 Says:
It’s really hard to find a job when you have a criminal record more like it
@georgejetson1025 Says:
City councils everywhere will ignore this problem because they can’t fine these people because they can’t pay it. But the same councils have no problem putting up speed cameras and other municipal fund raising techniques to fine the overworked , tired , working poor in the communities .
@Boomshaka827 Says:
Lived in Cobourg over the winter. Didn't meet one solid person I could trust even outside of the encampment. The residents suck so will the town.
