without replying to each individual post i'll say this

I feel for the mentally ill who got kicked out of riverview etc. and dont have a place to go, people who dont have the means to support themselves need others to speak for them, but most of the time it would seem that even the mentally ill could potray their case to the public better than most "advocates" that are in the media

the people i dont feel for:

Natives who already receive government funding and want more money for social housing

People who are too lazy to find jobs, and dont want to work in order to live rent-free in a neighborhood that has $500,000 condo's next door

Drug Addicts that got themselves into the predicament in the first place, i dont give a shit if your dad touched you as a kid, there are very successful people in this world who got passed little issues in their lives when they realized some things in life are worth working hard for and putting a little effort into

I have absolutely -zero- time for the homeless coalition in it's entirety, when the "leader" or whatever he calls himself came on the Team1040 before and explained to Pratt and Taylor how he doesn't work more then 3 days a week because he "doesn't feel like it" the sense of entitlement he had was enough to make me want to find him and spit in his face

Sure the money towards the Olympics could have been better used to strengthen out infrastructure etc. but if you put billions of dollars into homelessness you think that solves the problem? in 10 years there would be 30 times the homeless because they see a free meal ticket in Vancouver

I'm all for a hand-up, but these people looking for hand-outs can go fuck themselves.
