Anybody who's charging rent has an obligation to provide livable conditions to their tenants.

Well done. Bowman caused this by dong nothing and Gilligan is doing the same. Pathetic.

All the new Canadians coming in we don’t have enough room maybe?

How is that hotel remotely legal?

Powerful stories. Breaks my heart. Instead of giving billions in foreign aid how about we build hospitals/ treatment centers and transitional housing for our brothers & sisters in the struggle.

TRY TALKING TO YOUR NDP FIRST NATION PREMERE OF MANITOBA.

WHY are first nations NOT helping their people??? Where is all the money from Government issued Cows and Plows payments going????

I work around there and it is so dangerous to be around people that do not have nothing to lose.

A house and a home are two different entities.... 😮

How does the government not help these homeless people but the people from other countries come here and housing right away.

Yea well they Report it and they Loose their home. its a Sh..y situation. These Slum Lords should be charged with neglect of a building.

Well now I know where to go for a good time in winterpeg! How the fk can that place be open?

prayers for everyone, our brothers and sisters, this is so sad 😢

How is this lady saying “they can make a report” with a straight face. 😂🙏🏽🙏🏽😩

Who owns the Manwin Hotel....?

What the hell..??? Manitoba with an ndp govt and a native premier and this situation not being addressed. Why isnt the province taking over the manwin and turning it into something like the bell?

Why not clean up the apartment you're living in ? This all is such a complicated issue. Addiction to drugs and alcohol is a huge issue. And it stems from deeper issues. Its like complainig about the garbage in your community, but never volunteering to do street cleanup.

Its unfortunate that the band won't step in and help get the members off the street into care

You can't help people who do t want help. Some, If you house them they go back to the street by choice.

I'm all for helping people in need 100% but I also believe that we need to do our best and be responsible for ourselves. We cannot depend on Governments to feed us and cloth us or to put a roof over our heads. Education and jobs are essential to a secure life. I understand that as indigenous people, finding work is tough so we need to work harder than other people and do better in proving ourselves. Instead of giving up, try harder. It's like this for most people regardless of race, there will be competition for every job. Giving up and feeling sorry for ourselves isn't doing anyone any good. Drug and alcohol treatment centers are everywhere but you must want to get sober. Getting sober and staying sober is another battle on it's own. But man is it worth it. Indigenous people have been programmed to depend on the government via welfare system. Although assistance does help when people fall on hard times it shouldn't be a permanent solution. I strongly believe the welfare system was first created to control the indigenous population by the government, I feel that it is no longer used this way. We should want to be independent and be in control of our own lives. Our health and happiness is in our own hands. The government is not responsible for us so why wait for them to do something that we are fully capable of doing. taking care of ourselves. Besides, have they ever done anything good for the indigenous community? Can the indigenous community trust the government? Nope! We can't expect the enemy to take care of us. That is just insane to think this would work in our favor. They tried killing off native people but we are still here. We are better than this and we are capable of getting up every morning and going to work so we have nutritious food and a home to call our own. We are capable of seeking help when we need it. I understand that there are people suffering from severe mental health issues and will need all the government assistance they can get for their entire life and they should receive all the help. We need to stop having that victim mentality and realize that we are survivors... Not victims. we suffered a lot at the hands of other people so why are we carrying that pain and hurting ourselves? Think it's time to give ourselves and our families the life that we deserve. Our lives, our responsibility. My humble opinion.

Everyone deserves Affordable housing, But everyone Has to take personal responsibility....

So when every Canadian is charged a certain amount of tax that the government then Forks over to aboriginals Why don't they use that money to help their own Who are struggling in the city... ?

Eia is a joke as well! What they allow for rent no one can afford much more, It's sickening!

It sucks , but drug users need to want to get better.. because if you want to help why would need to have help.. so the person needs , and have to want it

Where I am on the west coast of b.c Canada there is housing and more for those on the streets, and I agree that no one deserves to be on the street, and that building is just gross, housin in b.c is much better, but sadly similar issues still remain tennants are still doing drugs overdosing and dying..

These people are forced to live in conditions that aren't suitable for animals. How revolting that this occurs in one of the richest countries in the world.

This needs to be talked about more public so thank you for the efforts!

89 Percent of the landlord's are Slumlords in Winnipeg alone

The York in Edmonton was the same way back in the day 1980s

Akim Kaba.... polka dots

I want to open a bottle depot to build a better life for my family om the streets here in peg

This is so tragic and I am so sad watching this. Unacceptable that anyone lives in these conditions! Truly heartbreaking and WRONG.

It's a sad situation and it's sad 😢 I have too many bad experiences but I am trying to rise above this I pray for those stuck in these situations. I often walk there also.

I used to drink at this hotel when it was the National Hotel in the late 1960s to the early 1970s..it was rough at times..I still have the scars from being attacked...

Honest question: Why not stay on reserve where the government has provided housing? If you move to the city with no plan bad might happen.

I never thought squalor could be so expensive 😢

Love and Light to all these beautiful people who deserve better…. this is shameful that we let human beings suffer in this unnecessary manner… I’m embarrassed to be Canadian

This is ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE , People shouldn't have to live like this!!! Animal shelters treat animals better than Winnipeg treats these people. SHAME TO THE MANITOBA GOVERNMENT, SHAME TO THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT.

addiction drinking happened to me i ended up homeless in edmonton for 5 years now im not cause i changed my thinking and was tired...Prayers

Olga, sne kalyegh for sharing... Main Streey Project needs more housing...speak up, start petition? Rallys? Go that owner's resident? Probably lives near the forks? Or suburb of Winnipeg. Shame on the City of Winnipeg.

Heartbreaking 😔 that our relatives have to live like this!!!!!

What we need tipi's, elders to teach traditional way of living.... homeless do share a sense of community, its the tradition they share that needs cleansing.... For spiritual purposes, the tipi's entrance faces the East and the back faces the West. This is to symbolize the rising and setting of the sun and the cardinal directions. The tipi's poles stretch high into the sky as a connection with the Creator and are firmly planted on the ground as a connection to the Earth.... the manwin front enterance chews u up and the back door sh¡ts u out 😮

The amount of excuses is insane lol

The Aboriginal homeless population accounts for 29 percent of the overall homeless population in Canada. Of the total 70,200 urban Canadians who identified as being homeless, 20,358 were found to be of Aboriginal descent. Kate Sjoberg says: "It is time for all levels of government to invest in public housing". Question: Does Kate Sjoberg include the AFN as one of those "levels of government"? Ottawa's spending on Indigenous priorities has increased significantly since 2015 (181 per cent) funding for 2023-24 is estimated to be over $30.5 billion - forecasted to rise to $32 billion in 2024-25. This works out to over $17,000 per year for every indigenous man, woman and child. What percentage of this money is the AFN using effectively to build social housing on reserves?

600 dollars a shame

Absolute bums

Homelessness in winterpeg is no joke,even a death sentence

Stop blaming others for your problems! People who never lift a finger to help themselves, be responsible for you own lives!

Dignity, where is it.

Your ppl choose to have a hell on earth life. There's nothing the Government ofCanada can do if they choose to have an addiction and to have a miserable life ! Addicrions comes first weather it's alcohol or drugs, each and every individual have a choice in life and your ppl chosed these kind of life !

10:38 walks down hallway and drops trash. Doesn't pick it up . Part of the problem.

My hometown..makes me sad but happy there's still good people there helping. Chi Miigwetch ❤

You left to avoid confrontation??? Really? 😆 She's lucky she ran into y'all!

A relative of mine was beaten to death near the Manwin. Winnipeg has a long history of these types of hotels: the Windsor, the Winnipeg, Woodbine, Maclaren, and on and on.

😢

Daniel the Prophet lol, a Mainstreet mainstay lol, good to see he is still keeping it real, too bad he's going about it the wrong way. I pray for him though, I pray for all of them.

We all matter.

That not true eia paid my room apartment

Housing is just dressing on a wound.

what a waste of time .all i heard was lies

Grew up in Winnipeg. Those hotels have been around for 30 yrs like that. It hurts your heart to see people abandoned by government while we live on stolen land. Then our sisters and people get stolen. What can be worse? So many problems and they need solutions. It's been more then 30 yrs.

1 bedroom run down apartment for 1200 Westend. I signed up for housing I pray it's better

HEY

I was homeless in downtown Winnipeg. I seen the most horrible event that goes beyond human comprehension and explanation of what mmiw go through

I’m there everyday I’m grateful and thankful for my room at the royal Albert and that my work in transcona lets me afford it’s rent of 700$ per month but by being there in skid row gives humbleness and a reason to persevere.

Having three empty beds while in the next second of film we see people on the streets, living under tarps, and being told the problem is unmanageable.... is wild to me. It must be that, a. there's policy and funding issues that interfere with people getting a bed. Or, b. the issue of houselessness isn't as bad as this video is making it out to be. We all see first hand that clearly houselessness is an issue and there is a need for these services. Personally, I think there should be zero acceptance of referrals from collaterals. Because if Main Street Project were to place the people they are in contact each day. The beds would never be empty. So why are they? The government shouldn't fund existing projects that need capital and ongoing operating costs under the caveat that these existing projects must 'dance for dollars' and loop in stake holders. What this does is funnel money from x into a as a way to say the issue is being resolved and that more money is going to the issue. It isn't. The money granted is clearly under the requirement that it solves the issue social workers in hospitals and other sister agencies are finding without solution. It doesn't affect the bottom line and in fact. Fewer people who the money was intended for, receive the funding yet again. Funding agreements without requiring 'the biggest impact' of partnerships created in the city would actually allow the biggest impact to happen. Main Street Projects should be able to grow up, not out. Then maybe within that further growth, we would actually see some progress.

Wow, i thought it the Downtown Eastside, Vancouver? North of Winnipeg by the airport route?

One of the biggest problems in Winnipeg is meth addiction, so many people who live in places like the Manwin have serious addictions that consume their lives, to the point that they no longer care about the conditions they live in, meaning they are unlikely to complain or report conditions to authorities. The city knows the owner of the Manwin has previously failed to comply with repair orders, so why do they have to wait until more complaints come in? This is why there are so many places like the Manwin, the New West, the Yale, etc. The owners know residents are unlikely to complain so they take advantage of that and do nothing about the situation because there are virtually no consequences. It's pretty sickening.

We need supportive housing for winnipeg, all over mantioba and all over canada and most of all first nations

Wow. This was a great report. Learned a lot about the situation there.

This is everywhere. Videos won’t stop this now, what u doing

Fg😮ĝ i3s ie

Another argument for UBI. Trickle-down doesn't work, because the people at the top keep most of those funds for themselves. The government needs to acknowledge this as the ROOT problem. With slightly higher purchasing power, people would be able to afford something a little better, governed by a free market instead.

What a joke

😢

52 yrs saskatchewan perspective, I've seen how the natives aren't really affected by all the countries' efforts to make things better. Nothing works. By the looks of it, theres been no change. And It's just plain ignorant to think that their historical hardships IN CANADA are so much more devastating, long-lasting, and in some way "special" compared to all the peoples ethnic or political hardships throughout history. In this country, anyone born after the sixties is guilt free as far as the indigenous situation. Systematic racism towards natives in canada is a thing of the past now. We're race realists now, realizing that there may never be reconciliation like this.
