Yellowknife

DID YOU KNOW THAT PEOPLE IN YELLOWKNIFE HAVE TENT CITIES? IT'S SO TRUE.

I WAS WALKING DOWN A PATH THE OTHER DAY MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS, WHEN I SAW THIS PIECE OF PAPER HANGING IN SOME TREES. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THE LETTER WAS FROM THE CITY OF YELLOWKNIFE INSTRUCTING THE TENT CITY HOBO'S TO TAKE DOWN THE TENT AND DWELLINGS OR IT SHALL BE REMOVED FOR THEM.

WELL IT HAPPENED. THE CITY CRANKED UP A NOTCH AND RIPPED TO SHREDS THE HABITAT OF A COUPLE. THE WOMAN BASICALLY HAS NO HOME AND LIVES ON THE STREETS. HER PARTNER APPARTENTLY CHOOSES T LIVE IN THE LAND, OR SHOLD I SAY CITY PROPERTY. HE SAYS THAT ALL HIS YEARS WORKING FOR "THE MAN" HAS MADE HIM WANT TO LIVE IN BETWEEN TREES.

WELL WHEN IT CAME TIME TO REMOVE THE TENTS THE WOMAN WAS HELD UP IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A BLOOD TRANSFUSION AND THE DUDE WAS WALKING AROUND PICKING UP CANS. THIS STORY MADE THE FRONT PAGE OF THE YELLOWKNIFER. AND IT GETS BETTE. THE VERY DAY THS STORY RAN I SAW THEM RUNNING AROUND TRYING TO SECURE GOODS BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT THESE PEOPLE OWNED WAS PLACED AT THE DUMP. AND DUMP SHOPPING HERE IN YELLOWKNIFE IS A DAILY ACTIVITY FOR SOME SOME THERE LIFE POSSESIONS WERE GONE.

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF YELLOWKNOFE PEOPLE IS PRETTY FUN TO WATCH AND READ. PEOPLE ARE DRINKING IN THE STEETS AND DEALING DRUGS ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS. STORES HAVE TO LOCK UP LISTERINE BECAUSE IT IS THE DRINK OF CHOICE FOR NATIVES WHO HAVE SPENT ALL THERE RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL MONEY.

YELLOWKNIFE IS A CITY IN CANADA THAT CAN MAKE YOU A VERY WEALTHY PERSON IS YOU STICK AROUND. AND THE LONGER YOU STICK AROUND THE MRE LIKELY YOU WILL SEE A CRACK COCAINE DEAL GO DOWN.
