I suggested we continue to walk, I needed the time to clear my head for a proper think... Sue, Anne and I sat outside under the trees and talked about clothes, and boys, and making out, and about seeing Luke pulling himself off. Their argument is these residents feel comfortable there. But the reality is the more poverty is concentrated, the worse the area seems to become.

Vancouver has always had a drug problem. The opioids of choice — and the increasingly staggering death toll — have changed over the years.Many police resources were diverted to the park and there was a crime wave in nearby Chinatown — one business closed because they were being robbed a dozen times a day. 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. 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. DTES government and service support groups along with poverty pimp lawyers who have a hissy fit if anyone tries to change the dial, while also making money off the situation, has resulted in the perfect condition for drug dealers to flourish. Luke came over and we talked for awhile and flirted with him flipping up our skirts accidentally and making sure he was getting turned on. Sue enjoyed flirting and I was enjoying it too. Poor Luke had to put up with our teasing for the next hour. Then again maybe he was enjoying it too. I was certainly enjoying being a girl.

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 ! In recent years, the area is seeing an east creeping gentrification. This is causing the DTES street population to be squeezed into a smaller footprint resulting in more confrontation and the appearance of a worsening situation even though overall the numbers of street people remains fairly constant.

Before the ’40s were over, highly refined white heroin had appeared and it was coming from overseas to satisfy a hungry market in Vancouver, home to half of the country’s drug users. Stories of ancestral travels and adventures are recorded in landscape features like sandhills, trees, and soakages. Songs, dance, sacred boards and paintings also tell stories which cross many language groups. For example, numerous groups share "the two boys dreaming" - a songline story about a journey by two boys from Dalhouse Springs across the desert to Birdsville (Wirrarri). In 2021, 71% of those who died as a result of suspected drug toxicity were between 30 to 59, and 78% were male.I soon saw that he was now turning his attentions upon a different source for his promiscuous behavior.

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.
