I'm not shocked the article is from BC and even less that it was Downtown Eastside.. I think all Canadians know about the Downtown Eastside. Even here on the opposite coast I know its reputation.
YouTube suggested a video just a few days ago to me of a Vancouver fire hall located in the Downtown Eastside. Most fire halls in Vancouver average 600 calls per month but Fire hall 2 they get 1,600 calls per month!
