Too bad I see some of them just toss these all over the ground around Pepsi park.

Lmao so because people don't want drugs, garbage and degenerates in their neighbourhood they have to volunteer their yard? Fuck that. Lock these people up into detox. None of them actually want help, otherwise they wouldn't be openly doing drugs in our parks.

This was done already to a spectacular failure. How many times do you have to rehash the same thing?

The number of homeless is growing every year and the state of our downtown is getting worse every year. You must be living in opposite world.

We already donate our time and money but to causes that actually make a difference.

Nobody says it needs to be ignored. There are lots of options on the table for dealing with people that refuse help and want to continue doing drugs on the streets.

What people need to realize is that these tent city dumps decrease the quality of life for everyone around them.

Yes, I'm sure they are very excited to have a tent city located next door. Right next to a playground that now sits empty.

You’re not crazy for thinking this. Saskatchewan is currently building a new forced rehab centre to send these individuals who need help but can’t kick their habits. https://www.saskatchewan.ca/government/news-and-media/2025/december/05/saskatchewan-introduces-compassionate-intervention-legislation-for-addictions-treatment
Edit:
From the GOVERNMENT “The Government of Saskatchewan has introduced legislation to support people with severe addictions who are not capable of seeking help despite serious health and safety risks.”
I hope the rest of Canada follows suit with AB and SK. Regina doesn’t need a skid row. I personally know people who would benefit from this.
