I looked up at her and said, "Aunt Susan this is amazing. I love seeing you." When I said that, she stepped closer to me sand her ** was right at my face! She leaned forward and her ** hung in front of me. I didn't know what to say or do. I looked up at her and said, "your ** are very hard and this kind of excites me." She said, "it excites me too, do you want to touch them?" I got this feeling all through me. I could me heart racing and I felt really warm. I said,"yes." Out in the parking lot, both of us woozy from low-grade champagne and pre-lunch martinis, Aunt Doris handed me the keys to her convertible. “You drive. Get used to driving dreamboats for a change.” Odds are if they do, it will be in highrises in the Downtown Eastside. For decades that’s where the city and province have been concentrating social housing, especially for the mentally ill and drug addicted. Heroin seized in drug busts is routinely cut with fentanyl and in recent months the presence of carfentanil. When I got there she was in a very short skirt and a low-cut top and it was quite dark in the house.

It was as I watched him repeat this performance again and again , that my mind was taken off asking anyone to dance, and my attention started to follow the lad to see what he was all on about, to confirm my hypothesis if you will.College guys, football players and engineering nerds alike, popped from the library, classroom buildings, Student Union and dorms to get a look at the sexy lady with the flashy car. Bronwyn Evans, my college steady date, caught me kissing my Aunt Doris. She walked away as though she hadn’t seen. I was going to have plenty of explaining to do. Or maybe none at all. Well done I said to him, as the girl looked at me, a bit confused as to what well done was on about. Vancouver won’t solve street homelessness until both the city and province focus on targeting the limited supply of expensive social housing to those who need it most, say experts.

The process is welcomed by the myriad of DTES support service groups who like their clientele close at hand and the clientele are fine with it as services are nearby. Part of the plan decrees you can’t build condos on Hastings between Carrall Street in Gastown and Heatley Avenue in Strathcona, or in historic Japantown around Oppenheimer Park. She stood in front of me and dropped her towel. Oh my God. She was naked and her big ** were right in front of me! I started breathing hard when I looked down at her **. It was so incredibly hairy and I had never seen a mature woman naked or anyone with hair like that. She said, "do you like it?" I said, "oh my God Aunt Susan, I have never seen an older woman's ** and never hairy." I had been watching the pair with causal awareness when “Blimey!” suddenly something I observed forced me to snap out of my reverie and sat straight up in my seat..My mind was a mass of whirling thoughts as we walked out of the venue an onto the smoggy street. I suggested we continue to walk, I needed the time to clear my head for a proper think... She cut me off. Of course I wasn’t ready. Of course the idea of having children and being a man scared the living shit out of me. But a flood of a new and even more potent “China White” heroin arriving into the city reignited public outrage in the early ’90s. A spate of 331 overdose deaths in 1993 spurred B.C. coroner Vince Cain to call for the decriminalization of heroin and addicts be prescribed the drug to legally maintain their habit. Their argument is these residents feel comfortable there. But the reality is the more poverty is concentrated, the worse the area seems to become.

The townships that experienced the highest number of illicit drug toxicity deaths in 2021 were Vancouver, Surrey and Victoria. I turned towards my mate, “you know, I really feel like a proper drink and not this watered down tosh. Lets say we take a stroll towards our hotel and try to find a nice friendly pub on the way?”The fringes of Vancouver’s Chinatown have always been the centre of Canada’s opiate trade. Ever more potent and easily smuggled versions emerged through the decades, culminating in the scourge of synthetic opiates — fentanyl and carfentanil — thousands of times more powerful and many times more deadly than opium. Toxicological testing once again underscores the reality that the illicit drug supply continues to be unstable and increasingly toxic. Fentanyl was detected in 83% of samples tested in 2021. Carfentanil was present in 187 results, almost triple the number recorded in 2020 (66).

Laura Dilley, PACE Society Action Week, PACE plans to draft housing recommendations for city council before the coming election. A week before graduation, I got a phone call from Aunt Doris. I hadn’t heard from her in a long time. She said she was coming up for a visit. Nobody else ever came to visit me at College. I braced for first-degree embarrassment. And so, with a rather lustfully smouldering fuse lit, making any additional need of persuasion moot, off he scurried! private]Since home life was the way it was, I stayed in school, hit the library when school let out. School plus library equals college scholarships. You better believe I went to college.

He had done it, but I wasn’t through with him yet. The game, and watching it being played out, had been all far too exciting for me also, and there was the encore to pull off ! Eventually she realised this guy was playing with her and he would never leave his family because of the fear he had for his society. There is already an air of permanence to the camp; the city has installed porta-potties, fresh drinking water and handwashing stations. Park rangers drop by a few times daily. The area is reasonably clean, but these are early days. I soon saw that he was now turning his attentions upon a different source for his promiscuous behavior.
