He failed to protect women from abuse
In Downtown Eastside, also known as Canada’s Skid Row, people are dying on the street. One woman, slumped across soiled blankets, is being injected into a vein in her neck by a man with blackened, filthy hands. Her eyes bulge wide, then close.
Another, younger woman, is being dragged along by a man who is clearly a pimp. She sways as he shouts that she is “Only $20!” No one responds apart from a dealer who asks if he wants “Apache” (fentanyl).
