Canada spends over 100k of tax payers money per homeless person in Canada to support them the problem almost none of that money goes directly to the homeless people. Homeless is a big business and creates lots of government jobs paid with tax dollars
the amount of bureaucracy weighing down our country is crazy. If most of these people lost their jobs, no one would notice, or actually, things would just better.
That's the story of Canada, whenever any government announces funding for something everyone knows none of the money actually goes towards the solution to the problem.
Great interview! At 5:20 he was asking you "do I have to be homeless?" He was asking if you only want to interview homeless people. He has a place to stay which is probably provided by an agency. Also, if you listen to Gabor Mate interviews (or read his books), you can learn that we are all addicts. Most of us are addicted to things that don't cause homelessness (or risk of it). I really appreciate listening to interviews like this and a lot of these people want to be seen and heard. You provided him the opportunity to be heard. Thank you.
I appreciate your concern towards this, I will make sure many unheard stories will come out where those people who never had channce to share will get one 😊
I came to know Christ in jail in 2013 by reading a book, "Overcoming spiritual blindness" by James P. Gills MD. The veil was taken off my eyes. Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $25,000 monthly. I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough!
Isaiah 45:3 speaks of a transference of riches from the heathen to the righteous... I will give you the treasures of darkness and the riches hidden in secret... I receive this for my household in Jesus' name. Amen!
Really decent this time, the interview was the best so far, but could be cleaner. Let the subject talk as long as they want, and edit it. Trying to end the interview in a kind of primitive way just feels wrong. Longer clips of the walk aways help to keep the viewership high, this was too short. You are always improving your content, and I like what you are doing here, just get Closer to the action, and hold those shots for more duration, and publish Longer clips to really get more views faster. Looking forward to more and improved material. Cheers.
A poor man is nothing more than a rich man with no money....And a rich man is nothing more than a poor man with money....Learning that gave me a different perspective on the rich and poor...
Its all about if you know what money is and how it can be used to have teh great life instead of giving away life just to run after money. That’s what I believe
This is not "the real Canada". This is one neighbourhood in a Canadian city where homeless people live. One of the things never mentioned is a lot of the people do have housing such as a unit in an SRO or transitional housing. A lot of them have also refused housing because they don't want to follow the rules the housing societies set, such as no drug use in the units. Facts have even been presented by the city, by housing societies and even the police about how many homeless people have been offered housing and how many either accepted housing or refused it. There was an intense housing strategy by housing societies a little over a year ago, a housing blitz to get the people on the streets and in shelters into housing. Alot of them accepted housing but a lot of them also refused it. This is public record. Majority of them are also not from Vancouver but rather conservative cities and provinces that don't properly address addiction issues and homelessness. The irony of people here talking about "the government needs to invest in Canadians instead of giving aid to other countries" and then they sit there criticizing the federal budget which is hundreds of billions of dollars being invested into Canadians. Hundreds of billions of dollars. Compared to a few billion dollars in LOANS to countries like Ukraine. Over $400B per year is invested into healthcare for Canadians plus an additional over $200B for new healthcare investments is part of the new budget. Compare that to the $12B in aid provided to Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees, 50% of which is in the form of loans to be paid back to Canada. (In US it's the same by the way - majority of funding to Ukraine is loans to be paid back.) In 2019, the federal government invested $2.2B to deal with homelessness. In the past 5 years, they have doubled that to over $4B. Billions of dollars more in housing initiatives to get more housing built. Tens of billions of dollars also invested to deal with addiction issues including hiring more healthcare workers who specialize in addiction issues. Don't sit there saying "the government needs to invest more in Canadians", and then turn around to support people like conservatives who want to cut all the funding and public services that are meant to help Canadians and who attack the budget.
@@Liberal_From_Prairies689 Yes I understand what you are saying. However, those people are in need of help too. The USA, and the UK are having this same problem.
Canada can do better. I think that Canada should take the million of dollars in aid, that it gives to other countries, and focus on Canada. Then when Canada does that, people would say Canada does not help other countries who are in need. However, this situation is happening all over the world. There are countries that are way worst than Canada.99% of those countries are proverty stricken. The USA, and the UK, are in the same situation. They give help all over the world. Yet, their citizens are living on the streets. However, before I mind other countries business I have to take a look at my own poor country first.
You sound like typical brainwashed conservative who is uninformed and has no understanding of the federal government's investments. The aid given to other countries such as Ukraine is mostly loans that are to be paid back and they are only a miniscule percentage of how much money is actually invested in Canadians. For example, the new federal budget allocated hundreds of billions of dollars to programs to help Canadians, over $200B in new healthcare funding alone on top of $400B spent on healthcare per year. Tens of billions of dollars on infrastructure that includes community centres and other public infrastructure. Tens of billions of dollars for housing programs that are already shown to be increasing the number of affordable housing units across Canada. Hundreds of millions in investments to deal with addiction and homelessness. These hundreds of billions of dollars for Canadians compared to a few billion given to Ukraine in the form of LOANS. You really need to educate yourself about federal budget. It's extremely ironic how people like you say "Canada needs to invest more in Canadians" but then support people like Pierre Poilievre who attacks the federal budget because of the amount being spent, the majority of what's spent IS ON CANADIANS.
@@vancouverstreets420you sound extremely clownish. Typical brainwashed far right conspiracist. Instead of just filming the homeless people and addicts secretly. Maybe talk to them and you would find out majority of them are from Conservative provinces where they don't properly address homelessness and addiction. Recent stats showed around 25% of homeless addicts in Vancouver are from Alberta. Over 12% are from Saskatchewan and Ontario. They also looked at shelters and SROs, only around 12% of SRO residents are actually from Vancouver. Around 40% of them are coming from other BC cities such as Kamloops, Prince George, Kelowna, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Kootenay and South Surrey, all cities that have constantly elected Conservative MPs. It's the conservative ideology in those cities that are the problem. Just like in Saskatchewan where almost 99% of homeless people are Aboriginal people. Aboriginal people who are kicked off their reserves by their own people because of addiction issues. Funding and investments are given to provinces and even directly to Aboriginal communities but the funding is not used properly in those communities by local leaders. The Aboriginal people then make their way to the cities where they have no where to go but the streets where they continue using drugs unable to find jobs amd get housing.

Very well facts spitten 💯

The downtown east side is a lucrative business for fake drug rehabilitation.

This man is really sweet.. God bless him, I hope he gets the help he needs.
He was so nice to talk to

Hello how do you make such monthly ?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God.

What a testimony!!! 🙏🙏🙏
I'm genuinely curious to know how you earn that much monthly

Seems like a nice guy... Hope he gets over his addiction problems and finds a job.
Yeah me too
Flannel shirt talking about world domination😂
Canada has failed Canadians. No one chooses to be homeless and no one chooses addiction.
In every country there are the haves and the have-not.
Some homeless have a SKS with a loaded clip... wanna avoid that eh know it all ?
If you’re the guy interviewing why can’t you get the subtitles/captions right? Some is hard to hear so they’re useful sometimes.
Wow, what a depressing country.
Country is expensive and depressed if you are poor

the government here does want people to drugs that's why they are making it available you know
Thanks for the "help", which is used for wars.
