An ally glowing at night in the heart of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Needles line the pavement on back streets where many neighborhood residents spend their nights. According to Pivot Legal Society, there are approximately 5000 injection drug users living in the 10 city blocks that make up Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

The greatest contribution that I appreciate from the Dominion is that one feels the energies, the focus of a new generation of Canadians taking stock of Canadian reality as it is. Instead of coming with formulae from the left, from the right, et cetera, and then trying to make the reality fit into their plans, I appreciate the approach of the Dominion because it first wants to know a survey of the reality, and that is the beginning of--if you want to go somewhere, you have to learn to read the map, and the Dominion is giving us the map.

About the Dominion

The Dominion is a monthly paper published by an incipient network of independent journalists in Canada. It aims to provide accurate, critical coverage that is accountable to its readers and the subjects it tackles. Taking its name from Canada's official status as both a colony and a colonial force, the Dominion examines politics, culture and daily life with a view to understanding the exercise of power.
