Days before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to tour Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, video has emerged of a pregnant woman overdosing in the neighbourhood. It shows the woman motionless on the ground near Hastings and Main, where she was first tended to by the Street Saviours, a volunteer outreach group that arrived at the scene before first responders.
