B.C. taxpayers are still paying to keep a Granville Street SRO building open for one remaining resident.
It is now past mid-August, so the inferred cost, since July 1, of running the 110-unit Luugat is in excess of $150,000.
Ryan Donnelly, the one resident, was not available on Monday to talk to Global News.
The B.C. government promised to close the Luugat by the end of June and while it said that Donnelly has been offered new housing, he said last month that he has a seizure disorder and requires a large room and a building with an elevator.
Clinical psychologist Julian Somers said the province’s single-room occupancy model is a disaster.
“And they refuse to change,” he said.

“That’s one of the big things that has to happen in B.C. It’s happening elsewhere. Any European country or city that has tackled a severe addiction problem didn’t group all the people together with minimal supports and call it a day. That just hasn’t worked.”
There is still no timeline on when the B.C. government will close the Luugat.
Last week, B.C.’s Housing Minister Christine Boyle said the situation is “not ideal.”
She also previously said that she thinks the situation is close to being resolved and they are working to find a good option for Donnelly.

“That’s just a waste of taxpayer money,” Granville Street resident Lorne Caron said.
“There’s no financial responsibility, it seems, with this NDP government.”
Actually it’s not surprising that most MAGA white nationalists are ped0philes. Especially considering their heritage. Not only did the Colonizers practice inbreeding but they also preyed on children. Just like my hero Donald Trump!
I kid. Nothing is being erased.
Future students will continue to be taught history just like they are now. Canada became a real nation, embracing technology, modern medicine, sanitation, and other usefull concepts after europeans landed and put the warring chugs in their place. Chugs will never have the opportunity to falsify history, because history is written by the winners, not the losers. Chugs will always know their place – selling booze and drugs to kids, being constantly drunk, living in tents and reserves, beating their women, filling up jails, etc.

Isn’t it funny how Canada is 68% white yet the history of the white settlers is slowly being erased in Canada. Future generations of Canadians will be taught in school that the white settlers were fiIthy liars that stole the land from the First Nations people. In other words they’ll be taught the truth and once all of the fabricated white trash history is erased it’s never coming back. 😊👍

Uh oh, Jay-2 personality is starting to lose it again. Two replies in a row! Next he’ll pivot back to his delusions about white culture being erased or some other kind of made up cr ap that functions only to help him sleep at night. Too funny!
Typical white trash warrior on the internet. Can’t handle the truth
Oh man I can’t stop laughing at how upset you are over some basic posts about events that actually happened 🤣🤣🤣
Check it out. My other personality managed to pull up some historical stuff about when there was a peak time of liberal morons vandalizing Canadian heritage. It doesn’t happen anymore, especially now that the main enabler Justin is out of the picture. It peaked years ago and even has its own Wikipedia page (“Monuments and memorials in Canada removed in 2020–2022”). Normalcy is slowly returning now, even though we still have an incompetent government. You know what else has died off, all the B S about Residential School graveyards. Did the chugs really think they could start a new cash cow from that? They’re total morons of course. Too funny!
Several historical statues, particularly those depicting Canada’s first prime minister Sir John A. Macdonald and British monarchs, have been removed, toppled, or put into storage across Canada. A statue of Egerton Ryerson in Toronto at Ryerson University (now Toronto Metropolitan University) was toppled by protesters in June 2021. The statue of Edward Cornwallis aka the founder of Halifax was removed by the city council in 2018. The statues of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II were pulled down and toppled from their pedestals outside the Manitoba Legislative Building in Winnipeg on Canada day in 2021. A statue of the British explorer James Cook was pulled down and thrown into the harbor in Victoria, BC in 2021. Gassy Jack aka Jack Deighton’s statue in Vancouver’s Gastown district was toppled in February 2022 due to his historical marriage to a 12-year-old girl
There’s nothing better than seeing the renaming of public spaces, the removal of statues of early European leaders, and ongoing shifts in school curricula. The European settlers will always be remembered as lying thieves just like the Alberta separatists and their pathetic attempt at stealing Alberta from Canada 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

LOL who’d I fool with that last one? All that w oke stuff started dying off when Justin quit. He had been egging it on. Curriculum isn’t changing, nobody’s renaming anything nor pulling down statues in gastown anymore. I don’t hear the Land Acknowedgement B S as much anymore, when a few years ago it seemed like it was a prayer before meetings. You never hear the chugs crying about their supposed Residential School gravesites, which nobody believes anymore. No new cash cow coming from there! If you’re a chug, you’re a loser. Always have been and always will be. Amen! 🤣🤣🤣

Jay-2 personality might be getting better, with only two triggered resonses instead of his usual 3 or 4. It’s funny how Jay-2 calls me/us (Jay) a coward behind a computer screen, when I guess technically we’re both hiding and using a fake name. We picked a name from an 80’s slasher killer. That’s how messed up we are. But anyways, what more can you expect from demented, white-guilt ridden, drug-addled, TikTok-educated morons like ourselves? I need to find me another chug to suck my hog. Too funny!

Oh man, my multiple personalities are going at it. Jay-2 just lost his sh it and responded three more times in a row. Pretty soon he’ll be causing self-harm again! I’ve got a rash on my penis now. I should have known better than to let that chug suck it. And he just spent my money on more crack. What a world!! 🤣🤣🤣”
The copycat troll is so desperate for attention at this point he just repeats himself over and over again. It must be tough knowing you’re a coward hiding behind a computer screen and the person you’re trying to impersonate on the internet is so much more intelligent than you are. It’s like watching a hamster in a cage. He never gets bored because he’s got his little wheel to run on LOL. Run hamster run 🐹 🐹 🐹 🐹 🐹

Being a white trash warrior on the internet must be a very frustrating thing to be these days. Always angry, always losing, always… impersonating?? LOL
The guy who impersonates people on the internet is talking about multiple personality disorders. Lol seriously you can’t make this stuff up 🤣🤣🤣

I actually have multiple personality disorder, and after Jay-2 responds, I need to call him out. Yes, life kinda sucks with both this and my STD’s, but I keep chugging along. Speaking of chugging, I just got sucked off by a chug at the corner of Hastings and Dunlevy, where I pick up my drugs. Unfortunately this chuig actually still had most of his teeth, and he bit down.”
All cooped up in the trailer park with nowhere to go 🤣🤣

You guys are all as stupid as Canada’s f *ucking chug population and you need to be exterminated just like they do. Except for the few that tend to give great head. The guy in this building does and I don’t want him to move away. So you people can all go f *uck yourselves!!”
Hahahah oh man the copycat troll is fuming mad today 🤣🤣 I mean it’s gotta be tough watching your inbred white trash history get erased in Canada and all you can do is go on the internet and impersonate people. Even worse the people that you’re trying to impersonate just laugh hysterically at what a pathetic loser you are 🤣🤣
That’s the spirit, Jay!

“Does this go for all homeowners in BC also?.”
It doesn’t at all. That’s just a lie that is being spread by a bunch of racist NAZl Conservatives in BC

JV,
Erasure is an actual word and was used correctly. Maybe fall off your red pedestal for a moment and reflect on what proper schooling can offer.”
It wasn’t used correctly at all 🤣🤣 If you’re talking about historical erasure then it wouldn’t be used to describe a person. The word erasure is used to describe an action, process, or the result of that action. Seriously how f**king stupid and inbred are you guys?

Since i cant comment on the Parks lands being given away i will post here. Unbelievable that the “university can buy back their lands at market value”. Does this go for all homeowners in BC also?. Eby has to be the worst premier ever voted by any province. FN’s must have caught him behind the shack with a sled dog or something.

Speaking of being unemployed, I was just about fired for spending too much time getting my a zz rammed in the Mc Washroom stalls. Luckily my boss took up my offer to suck him dry. I think he had facial heroes but that’s not a problem for someone who already has it.”
Lol it’s funny how the guy who claims to have a high IQ keeps repeating the same stale insults over and over again. Racism, gay sex, and McDonalds must live in your head 24/7 🤣🤣

Please leave this guy alone. He may be another worthless drug dealing chug, but I have amazing sex with him in the bathroom stalls at my work at McDonald’s.”
You’re so f**king jealous I love it LOL. Speaking of a job maybe you should go get one and then you could actually afford to live in Vancouver. You obviously don’t have one considering you spend most of you day on the internet impersonating people 🤣🤣
why do we have to keep hearing about this get rid of him

Unbelievable. This guy is a selfish little DB. Probably loves all the attention he is getting too.
Just turn the water, gas and power off now. This is just another classic example of how this government caters to the few at the expense of the many.”
Aww what’s the matter buddy? Are you jealous because he’s getting all of the attention and you’re not? Of course you are. Nobody cares about what some white trash coward on the internet has to say. Sit down and shut up

Eby is the worst premier BY FAR….and in this country run by muppets, that’s saying alot.
He has done literally NOTHING to help British Columbians
You talk about wasted tax dollars…talk about EBY
The copycat troll is jealous because I have a better job than he does 🤣🤣
Why is this still being discussed. Authorities need to move in and forcibly remove this guy. I have that these lowlifes continue to milk the system at every turn.
How about a room in eby’s house?
would be cheaper to put this degenerate in a luxury hi-rise condo.
I don’t want him out of there because he is conveniently close to my McJob, and we’ve been having amazing sex lately.
Point the finger at Boyle and Eby! Hold those two nimrods accountable. It’s not the COV but the NDP Govt under Horgan and Eby that created this problem.
who is running the city i think the taxpayers should not have to pay for this get the permier to pay the guy wants a elavator really my husband had a stroke can we get one to
Why doesn’t anyone explain where this $100,000.00 a month cost is coming from to house ONE PERSON?
and as if KLF would do anything different…….to many bleeding hart liberal’s
even he was gone , it would still take at least 100k a month to secure this building, its not like there going to tear it down over night……….having said, get rid of the freeloader!!!!!
Unbefuckinglievable. This has got to be the most inept government in BCs history.
bloody NDP, unreal government, useless
Hell yeah. I pay more taxes than most people in Vancouver and I say LET HIM STAY!! 😂
