    STOP bringing people into Canada for now till we can figure out how to fix this problem first. If these folks can work they should be. Life is hard but you have to help yourself sometimes.😢❤️🙏🍁🍁🍁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

    There are are lot more homeless people in Canada 🇨🇦 than we are actually counting. So many people are renting a room in a house or apartment that would rather have their own place. So many illegal unsafe basement rooms and apartments being rented.
    Landlords want $3000 a month for a decent place, but not enough people make $6000 to $9000 a month to afford the rent.

      Those are all the Indian kids on student visas. Even after having a full time job, they still live in illegal basements.

      @@MrMannyhw most of these are rented to South American, African, and Jamaican people in my neighborhood. The building across from me is packed, multiple people sharing one apartment. You can tell very easily what is going on by the amount of trash around and people hanging out outside to get space.

      Government do more for their own and not for foreigners. They most likely bought airplane tickets to come. Then they claim they should be able to stay. We shouldn’t help them. Poor and desperate people do not have money to fly to Canada.

    The federal government paid over $18 million in 2021 for it’s “guest of honour” sponsorship of that year’s Frankfurt Book Fair, according to a newly disclosed federal audit. Gov. Gen. Mary Simon attended the fair with over 30 guests.
    “The Department of Canadian Heritage incurred costs of approximately $17.5 million in connection with its responsibilities,” said the department’s “Audit Of Frankfurt Book Fair Controls,” as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.

      @user-zp7jp1vk2i 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Landlords who owned these hotels in Van. BC basically WANTED their tenants to be on guaranteed full time welfare/disability. If you were on/off, dealing with a life change, and not on the "roles" you were not welcome. Then the landlords raised the rents to reflect full time disability. And rents went up from there. MOST are auto-debit right from the renters govt. checque, but if you're on/off you're on the streets.

    The recent reporting by CityTV like this story and the suddenly puffed-up “refugee crisis” story seems completely biased, irresponsible, and misleading. There is no reason to house these people in one of the most expensive postal codes in the country and in the city’s prime tourist district. They need treatment and spending the city budget on prime location real estate leaves no money left over to actually help them.

      Japan’s drug law is one of the toughest in the world. Personal possession could earn you a five year jail sentence.
      Because of that, only 1.6% of Japanese have tried anything other than alcohol. Whereas in the USA, 46% of people have tried a drug outside of alcohol.

      There is a mental health crisis so counsellors and therapists are being headhunted, I've gone through three therapists in the last five months because they keep moving onto better jobs. If they can't get the stability of help how can they heal? They have to reopen the wounds and explain themselves over and over and over again, just re-traumatizing themselves in the process.

      It's not easy to get affordable housing when you are on a low or fixed income. I don't understand all the issues either but it seems like many of these people are disabled or ill. Toronto and Vancouver rents are exorbitant yet all the services these people need are in urban areas.
