19 arrested, $2 million in drugs seized on Downtown Eastside: police https://t.co/zGPvVWcb96
— CTV News Vancouver (@CTVVancouver) July 24, 2025
The Dirty News posted this on their X. CTV is reporting that "The Vancouver Police Department showed off a $2 million seizure of illegal drugs and cash on Thursday, a result of the controversial operation known as Task Force Barrage."
Controversial? Here in lies the problem with the fake news. This isn't CBC this s CTV who defiantly attacked and misrepresented the Convoy. This article exemplifies everything that's wrong with BC and Vancouver. There is nothing controversial about it.
The bust happened in the DTES where the drug related crime and violence has continued at an unprecedented rate since forever. Everything they have done there has failed and they are determined to export that failure across the province. Rural New Brunswick is facing the same problem - anarchy.
The article states "'Over the past five months, we’ve driven down violent crime, made hundreds of arrests, seized more than 1,100 weapons, and significantly interrupted the illicit drug trade,' Inspector Gary Hiar, the task force’s commanding officer, told reporters at VPD headquarters on Thursday."
That's a good thing. "Task force barrage has been controversial, facing allegations of arrest quotas which the VPD has disputed." F*ck off. That is a ridiculous and offensive statement with a dark agenda tied to it. If you're going to crack down on crime in the DTES you don't need a quota to do it. It's all around you. Nothing but crime, violence and exploitation of the most vulnerable who are literally brutalized by the drug dealers there.
"It’s has also been criticized over Mayor Ken Sim bypassing the police board to approve the $5-million operation." AYFMK? Ken Sims was elected to help address the problem and now you're complaining that he is which means you are supporting crime, violence and exploitation.
“'What’s the point of having citizen involvement, what’s the point of having citizen oversight? I don’t think the ends justify the means,' former Vancouver Police Board vice-chair Faye Wightman told CTV News on Thursday."
Ken Sims is doing a great job.
Faye Wightman is a sith Lord.
I wish Mr. Sim would show some balls and clean up the DT eastside! Buy up the SRO's and redevelop them! That is prime real estate, turn it into a golf course in the heart of the city. The DT eastside is a golden ticket for VPD with lots of overtime and pension money!
ReplyDeleteHe is trying to do something about it and Faye Wightman is trying to stop him.
DeleteI like what the new sheriff in town is doing.
ReplyDeleteNon profits are the best hustle in the hood , if you're not a good rapper or into drug dealing
Good thing Faye Wightman resigned. She’s a closed minded bleeding heart that lives in a fantasy world of rainbows, lollipops, and unicorn farts. Not sure who the new Vancouver police chief is, but hopefully he’s doing a better job than the last one they had. And yes, I agree that the bleeding hearts need to leave Mayor Ken Sims alone. He’s just doing his job.
ReplyDeleteFaye Wightman is a big fat liar. People can say what they like about right wingers being dishonest, but when it comes to dishonesty, the left is no exception.
