I'm certainly not defending the province. I'm advocating to put pressure on them to act. Takes collective action.

Life downtown is so bad that city hall considered building a fence to keep the riffraff out

I'd like anyone who uses Downtown LRT to consider walking by the ECC/Manu stop and calling transit watch if they see anything for it has been uninhabitable and outright dangerous.

Downtown liquor is where I go for some nice craft beers, more often than not there is still abhorrent activity going on on the stairs down to the lrt in that location in the middle of a nice day at that. I have been and will continue to report these deadbeats causing issues.
Last time just about 2 weeks ago a group were smoking meth and fent and yelling at the connivence store owners when asked to smoke outside. Junkies response "We get free money from the government, you are stupid for working a job" yeah that's the gist of it.
These were all people in their early 20s, no excuse for pathetic behavior like that.

My gawd that's the most GFY scene I've seen in a while. What a craphole of a site, one that's aggressively hostile to its surrounds. And people still think there's a life for that corpse?

Hello. If you’re referring to the green shack I walked entirely around it and saw no graffiti but then I’m old and half blind but really I didn’t see any.

While it's clearly not good that people are going around tagging murals, it happens everywhere and should be expected. Surely most of the murals in Edmonton must have some sort of anti-graffiti coating?

Ban spray cans from sale? This shit used to drive me nuts until you've been to NY or CHI - obviously those places on another level.....but still.....I fail to see the point in this? I presume the tagger on this particular mural is trying to "convince his/her followers that he/she painted the mural? These people have followers on TikTok and they are considered "content creators?"

I'm like 99.5% sure the tagger is not trying to convince people that they made the mural.
To tag a mural is bad, but it feels a bit "old man yells at cloud" to be reflexively anti-graffiti (or at least to think of graffiti as a crisis that needs to be addressed). I was just in Chicago, Berlin, and Dresden (Neustadt) over the last month, and those are all (1) better cities than Edmonton and (2) have vastly more graffiti. Not that the graffiti is what makes them great, but it certainly doesn't make them noticeably worse.
It would be better if our graffiti artists had more talent, though.

Well, I don't know if it refers to you because I don't know your take on graffiti. But there's no shortage of moral panic about it.

Maybe painted over quickly, but there was a white tag.

Graffiti on green shack and sidewalks has been removed by Parks Operation already. Mural Festival is working with City to determine best way to remove off the mural.
