๐จ๐ฆโs wild these days.
- Money laundering capital of the world
- the global fentanyl โcommand & control centerโ
- home to transnational organized crime heads
- at least 1 in 7,800 residents are members of organized crimes.
How did this happen so fast?

2/ first of all, most folks in ๐จ๐ฆ donโt realize how bad things are yet, theyโre just dealing with the consequences.
Soaring housing costs. Rising car thefts. Unaffordable housing, Overdoses in your hood. Violence in your streets.
All related.
3/ ๐จ๐ฆโs home prices soared in the mid-2010s due to laundering.
Fentanyl proceeds were washed in casinos, then layered w/housing. Itโs now called the Vancouver model.
Home prices surged since comps were skewed, & launderers WANT to pay more.
Is ๐จ๐ฆโs healthcare system failing due to socialism or capitalism?
Neither. The math is pretty clearโthis is just straight up greed, facilitated by crummy people.

2/ first off, everyone forgets it's hard to be a doctor.
Most people can't finish a book.
A doctor in ๐จ๐ฆ is the result of a 13 year old who decides they'll top their class & do 12-years of post-secondary training to start their career.
Let this point REALLY sink in.
3/ I mean, really sink in. You're delusional if you think you could do it. I couldn't.
The folks in charge didn't need that training. Ontario elected a high school drop out (about to be re-elected). ๐จ๐ฆ elected a high school teacher.
