Hearted Youtube comments on Aaron Gunn (@AaronGunnBC) channel.

  1. Retired first responder here. I responded for years to SRO's in Vancouver. The majority of deaths that I saw were in those buildings. If the public knew what was going on in those buildings, they would be shocked. This city needs dire help. Great documentary, thank you for covering this.

  2. Aaron, I have been a police officer in BC for over 20 years and I must tell you, you did an amazing job with this documentary. You knocked it out of the park! This should be required viewing for every new police officer recruit. Well done sir!! What a sad state we are in. Canada is better than this. Our current government should be very ashamed.

  4. I’m a wounded Afghanistan war combat veteran and can tell you we have been profoundly let down and disrespected by this government. Every Canadian should be sickened. Shameful.

  6. I worked as a Sheriff at the 222 Main Street Courthouse between 2020-2021. The problem is very simple. The judges DO NOT send any of these criminals to jail for longer than a few days for even violent crimes and sexual assaults. I have been in Courtroom 101 and 102 for long enough to see the same criminals come and go for egregious crimes, yet the judges give them 'time served' in VPD custody, or a 1-day jail sentence. Often criminals are on release conditions for a litany of offenses pending trial, and they still commit violent crimes. Crown counsel doesn't recommend even close to the maximum for indictable offences. If a judge sentences a harsher sentence than previous rulings for a similar case, the sentence is appealed. This inevitably leads to sentences lengths shortening over time and are basically non-existent now. Simple answer: the criminals have learned that the system is powerless to convict them with any serious consequences. We enable criminals by labelling them victims in society and we do not hold them accountable for their actions. Everyone has a past, yet not everyone turns into a criminal. Police are overworked and are required to complete hours upon hours of paperwork for even a simple 'breach of release conditions'. All those hours of paperwork are worthless as the judges turn loose fresh arrests the next day in court. The system is broken and will only continue to get worse as less people are less willing to enter law enforcement as a profession. The pay isn't there, and it isn't worth getting injured on the job, especially now with the anti-police narrative reverberating in society and politics. It's a hot mess!

  8. Keep it up Aaron. Most Canadians today are incredibly disconnected/poorly informed. This is proper journalism. Everyone share this.

  12. Being a former military member I can confirm we aren't a serious fighting force. Seeing how far our military has spun into darkness is a real thing. Please send this to everyone you know, our troops need our support. 1VP.

  15. Thank you for spreading the truth about addiction. My son was an addict in Vancouver and recovery is possible with treatment. He is 7 years clean now. We need affordable recovery treatment not a “safe supply” of drugs. Addiction and mental health is the problem. Homelessness is a symptom. Recovery is possible!

  17. Freedom of speech is the most important of all the fundamental Freedoms we have, because once that is lost, all other Freedoms can be removed without opposition. Great video Aaron, this should be required watching for all Canadians.

  18. This was awesome. I hope the people of vancouver start to see what could be done. I will definitely be sending this video to all my local politicians and Premier.

  19. As a new immigrant, I'm just surprised how there is very little conversation in Canada around this crisis. Thank you Aaron for bringing such a serious topic to light.

  20. Canada needs more Journalism like this. Great work Aaron.

  21. I'm a city planner myself and thought this was really well done and comprehensive, the one thing I think could be added is interviewing city planners from different municipalities to get an idea of challenges from their side. A lot of times politics get in the way of good planning that would bring on more units, but on the other hand we get some developers try to over build where the infrastructure to support it doesn't exist

  22. Almost 2 hours of incredible journalism for free, I can’t thank you enough what you do for our country Aaron.

  28. Seriously Aaron. You are one of the most brilliant Journalists of the day. I love your work, it's relevant and accurate and believable. You have credability that MSM could only dream of achieving.

  34. Aaron I live in Campbell River and I am so proud of you and will heartily support you all the way. We have to get rid of the NDP in BC — Eby is Turd’s buddy and neither of those two care about Canadians.

  37. Great video Aaron! Back in the 80s when I was a kid in Brazil, we had inflation over 1,700% a year. Prices would change twice a day (or more) in the supermarkets. People would rush to buy groceries, gas and essential goods right after receiving their pay cheques because their money would only be worth 50% at the end of the month. Inflation causes not only prices to rise, but so many headaches for everyday life that people who did not experience it have no idea. It’s disheartening to see this happening in Canada, especially when the country has experienced its own fiscal problems decades ago.

  38. Saw Vancouver is dying, now this video. Good job Aaron!! New subscriber

  39. Aaron, what a phenomenal job on this video. It is compassionate, thought provoking, and actually explores ideas to address the problems discussed. Great job!
    85
  40. I’m too pissed off to make a rational comment, Thanks Aaron

  42. It was better than just an interview, it gave me some hope for the future. Thanks Aaron!

  43. Sooo heartbreaking 💔 😢 i live on Vancouver Island. I've been sober for over 6 years. I was recently homeless due to not being able to afford market rent. Thankfully, I found an organization who is helping house me (in a motel) but im surrounded by others living here who use daily. In fact, a van comes here and brings 'safe supply' right to the door. It's insanity. My conviction to stay clean and sober is solid but it breaks my heart to see what is happening right in front of my eyes. I'm strong and determined to make my life sweet again but for those entrenched in the madness of safe supply I can't even comprehend that. 😢 Thank you Aaron for sharing this video. I love my province so much and I believe that it can be turned around with a change in government. Trudeau has to go yesterday and fast! Please continue your work to help us 🙏

  44. Aaron did it again ... excellent, thoughtful and thorough report.
    66
  45. Refreshing to watch an interview without leading questions and a deliberate attempt to control the narrative. Aaron just asks the questions, and then shuts up and listens.
    65
  46. You continue to blow me away with the quality and hard work that you guys show. The documentaries that you produce are Far and Beyond that of any mainstream media in Canada. Showing the truth and realities that Canadians are truly living. I commend you and your team's hard work and Hope that your organization grows Leaps and Bounds. God knows our country needs it
