What is Canada lacking - land to construct houses, wood to build houses ? Why we are fallen to this low - cant build the roads, subways, hospitals or homes

[abcde]

these camps are an eyesore. these bums have money, they need to rehab and stop blaming everyone for their own poor choices of doing drugs.

[Breal]

Thank you! Parks aren’t campgrounds and drug havens.

[alicefifield]

They should not be living in public places .. the city has been more than gracious to them all

[Knapweed]

How about allocating them a campsite with basic facilities or show them were they can rent with the pittance they get from the Government that put them in that position.

[davethat]

Cash cow! 🙄🥴 for whom? Tax payers pay to have you removed then we pay to house you. Then we pay the government for all this. CASH COW 🤣🤣🤣 talk about no idea what you are talking about. Get a job and pay like the rest.

[nakasome]

Thats about time! This needs to be done in all Canada!

[joshuabriel]

some of this People dont like paying rent and of course they got money coming from the government and why pay rent and it is free to live on the street and they can also used the money for their drugs

"Unhoused" I like how that person minimizes their situation because she thinks the term homeless is too negative.

[tableshaper]

Sent to the "health pods" for "healing".

These people were not forced to live in Vancouver or anywhere in BC.They can always move to Saskatchewan or Ontario. Where did they come from in the first place.

[paigewillow]

Coming to your neighbourhood. Vote out Trudeau!

[jeffbryan]

They must be sending them to the GOLF COURSES. There's LOTS of room at the GOLF COURSES!

[duelenigma]

Move to a cheaper rent area according to your income.

[wilmcq]

its illegal to camp in a park end of story.

The overarching fiat money system is greatly injust and the consequent, massive real estate bubble greatly contributes to this problem. But so does conditioned ideals of socialist entitlement. Even those with jobs and not living in tents get how screwed things are getting, the bar of financial stability seemingly escaping out of reach. But what sense of entitlement and lack of resourcefulness leads people to park themselves in the midst of a public park?
We have to find the strength to create solutions, not expect any external agency to do it for us. Not easy, I know, but expect another to save you from your often self-perpetuating misery is not going to save you.

She's homeless but can afford to get her hair dyed?
