RE: The Homeless Crisis in Canada ....
Straight from a Canadian himself whos living in the midst of a total downtown reconstruction, the homeless issue is one of the biggest that needs to be addressed... Everything seems to progress and move with the times, but the simple issue of the homelessness and the amount of people that need assistance is alarming. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just a fella or lady needing a bed and a few hot meals... a lot of these 'centers' are becoming hubs for local drug dealers to frequent and make an easy buck, and its all truth too. Article in our local news paper stating the amount of drug related deaths has doubled...... doubled!!! man thats a scary thought!...
Cheers mate
worked in our local homeless shelter for a while here on the island ... its nuts .... the stories I could tell...
You know first hand then exactly what happens in those houses... but see the worst part is what do you do...? most of the people in there, or at least a large portion of them actually need to be helped in a proper way, they not capable of doing life by themselves... its the scumbags that ruin it for the rest ...
One day there will be some sort of proper care for the ones that truly need it
a huge portion have mental drug and physical issues ...Most are unemployable ...and the easiest money is drugs and theft .. as a single person with no residence get something like 300 bucks a month to live on ... and they sleep 6 plus to a room ... the smell in the morning is something special .. a buddy works in the vic shelter ... got stuck with a needle in a pillow case a couple months back .. he was panicked for the month .. all tests came back clear ... one of the girls i work with here .. works in an aids help center up island .. has to pull out the narcan kit many times a week .. now she has stories ...
omg... hangs head in disgust
One day things will be different... gotta have faith!
