Vancouver police say they are trying to identify who is responsible for flyers distributed on the Downtown Eastside that threaten to burn the tents of homeless people.

Photos of the threatening flyers, which give homeless people seven days to leave the neighbourhood, were circulated Monday on social media.

"Until we know more, we're asking everyone to be extra vigilant, to look out for their neighbours, and to report suspicious activity."The flyers make threats against the property of people who are homeless and a supervised injection site in the neighbourhood.Threats, violence 'another day in the life'

He says that while it's a sad thing to see, people who are homeless in Vancouver are commonly subjected to threats and acts of violence."Sleeping in the alleyways of Granville, I would have people come up and try to kick me in the face or beat me up on a regular basis just because they deemed me as an unworthy citizen," Helton said.

"VCH has a zero tolerance approach to any threats to the safety of our staff or clients who access services at our health care facilities," the health authority said in an email.

I hope they find who did this disgusting inexcusable act. 😡

Shouldn’t be Tents there .. pretty bad!

This sounds like one of those 'We will kill our pets to protest the war' campaigns. Put up posters, then wait for a reaction. woof

Canada is against international social norms and backed by NATO to do this. 6 people per day die of OD in BC. I don't have figures for the USA.

I remember when these drugs were illegal and possession was illegal. Internationally, they are still mostly illegal and punishable by big jail and death in some cases.

Head of the BC Civil liberties association Harsha Walia’s called on citizens to burn all the churches down. She isn't white, a christian so it was all ok, no Vancouver police charged her for inciting arson yet she is the same as these insane people handing out flyers. JT's world

looks like a real hell hole

'There are more than a million empty homes in Canada and on any given night at least 35,000 Canadians are homeless.'

Liberal paradise

Live look at VPD:

Read the notice closely: the grammatical errors clearly indicate an Asian writer. But we're not allowed to say that, are we?

Taxpayer should be revolting. These should be illegal. But we dont need the threats of burning.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The call is coming from inside the house, VPD.

It sounds reasonable as they are giving the people ample warning to move on or face the consequences. If you've never been overrun by homeless people, you have no idea the damage they do.

San Francisco of the North, creating ghettos near you. Go for the weather stay for the drugs!

Prolly the cops doing it

Did the police check themselves?

Another source of stress for these poor people. Let’s hope nothing bad happens!

Very sad 😢 I hope they find the bad actors for this,homeless people have nowhere to go that’s why they are homeless please have respect for Humanity 🥲 everyone deserves a 🏠 have respect for humanity.

Progressive liberalism is responsible for homelessness.
