Youtube alogrithm brought your channel to me. Your youtube clip had great content, no blaring music, informative, no blamings nor name callings and soothing narrative voice. I was surprised the hood along 107 ave ( from stadium to cementary ) was not on your dean's list. I am looking toward too seeing many clips from you.

Title is misleading. You didn't "survive" 24 hours in Edmonton's most dangerous area, you took a drive through the city that a lot of people have to do every day for work.

You are so good at fear mongering!

The rich people neighbourhood being included made me chuckle, with the huge amount of news stories about rich people doing bad things lately.

I watched the video all the way to the end, and honestly, I’m shocked that #1 wasn’t Downtown Edmonton. Like, unno, downtown has turned into a total disaster. Homelessness is out of control—almost 4,700 people are living on the streets now, which is about 2,000 more than last year. And it just keeps getting worse.And the crime? Don’t even get me started. They say overall crime is down, but violent crime is up by about 7%, and downtown seems to be at the center of it all. Just last year, violent incidents downtown were up 6% compared to the year before. It feels like every other week there’s another shooting or assault making the news.
Then there’s the whole encampment situation—over 9,000 of them were shut down in the past year. It’s like the downtown core is spiraling, and no one knows how to fix it. Honestly, it’s not just Edmonton; it feels like the entire country is going downhill. The homelessness, the crime, the chaos—it’s like Canada is turning into a third-world country right in front of our eyes. It’s sad to see things get this bad.

I’m just off the Yellowhead east corridor in Baldwin and due to the close proximity to homeless shelter and the native care centre most of the crime around our area is committed by the homeless and new immigrants that live in subsidized housing units a few blocks away. Drug use in the area is high as well. Crime tends to go down in the winter but you better be on guard in the summer. Invest in a good security system and cameras.

Throw in Gateway Boulevard as well and 118 Avenue Beverly-Abbotsfield areas

'A can of pepper spray.'

So, you admitted to committing a crime...!

McCauley hasn't changed much superficially since I left 1963

It’s so easy to just drive around in the safety of your vehicle perhaps get out and walk those areas then say you survived them.

@MichaelLauzon1976 2 weeks ago

Yellowhead Corridor East has no housing, it's all industrial!

@regtaylor1163 2 weeks ago

One thing I noticed, is they knocked 3 hotels down on 96 st, 2 are parking lots,
in an area with hardly any businesses, a few blocks away, tent city.
Do you see the connection?

@Dreezy-fe7nx 1 year ago (edited)

How do I get in contact with you? I would like to do a documentary on Edmonton. Everything from gangs, social services, corruption and more. Can you help me with this game plan?

@gorgeousgeorge5173 1 year ago

Anyone whose been to Blackmud would never call it dangerous. Its one of the most welcoming and livable areas of the city. You better have a better than average income to buy or rent there.
