Throwing money at education doesn't solve anything, either.
Money needs to go towards educating young parents on how to raise their children properly. Why should the education system have to try and fix society's problems? Everything boils down to lousy parenting skills. How many children can read by the age of three? What ever happened to that? Kids come to school not knowing how to spell their own names or tie their own fucking shoes.
Your perception of DTES is skewed. The crackheads and junkies are what you see on the outside. There's more. Finding a solution is not easy. Like others have mentioned, the truly homeless and disadvantaged are lost behind all the fucking junkies and people who have, by choice, as you put it, ruined their lives.

The natives here in the west coast are pretty much docile (whimps). If they bring the natives from eastern Canada, there will be tonnes of trouble. OKA!!!!!!
Look at the Cheam Indian Tribe. They go out to hunt whale illegally. They call it a protest - their right to hunt whale. The government freaks out and it becomes a media frenzy. Those braves, and I use the term loosly, came back with zero catch each time they went out. They barely made it back alive in their (most likely made in China) warrior ships. I don't think they do the traditional whale hunt anymore........ "Guys, this is hard work, let's go back to stringing nets from one side of the river to the other and catch salmon instead." LOL.
All kidding aside, the natives are not going to protest. VANOC knew better than to piss off the First Nations people. They're taken care of.
