Capitalism. Who are the rich? They own property and lots of money to their name. What percentage are they of the population? Less than 1%. What about the other 8 billion or so people? All exploited poor, working and enslaved people. How fun! Born into bondage and most don't even notice the shackles. But some do, thankfully, and they try to wake others up. Read, watch, and discuss!

Instead of everybody arguing about whose fault it is, and causing a divide, we should all come together and demand change. Demand more affordable housing, rental housing included.

The basement has less traffic and is carpeted and warmer because that's where the boilers are. As long as they aren't partying. I lived in more than 1 building that has done this, trust me, they aren't there doing drugs. They are exhausted from being out in the cold all day trying to keep moving to stay warm. Tenants often, leave water or sandwiches or old blankets. The landlord's threatened to evict anyone letting them in or not calling the police....who can deny somewhere warm to sleep. The alternative is death. Others find hidy-holes in the bushes, trees and slopes of the river valley. If you know the off trails, you will see into the bushes, a bundle of their sleeping gear and a marker. That's how these people stake claim to their spot. We have so many public buildings that could be opened at night for sleeping like libraries etc. But the city won't do it "Because it encourages them to live on the streets "!!! Really!!!!

Please stop judging. We don’t know the details. People can b depressed and look normal people can b suicidal and look normal people can be homeless and look normal. STOP JUDGING, it can happen to anyone. You can lose everything one day then what?

I would rather live outside than pay that high rent

🎉🎉🎉 enjoy liberal NDP government

Some easy ways to quickly have more housing that's affordable: 1. Allow tiny houses 2. Housing is for one's own shelter only, no one can own more than the place they live in, no landlords or house flippers 3. Non Canadians who live in another country cannot buy property in Canada I can hear the howls of protest from those who don't want a tiny house near their property, those who want to continue using housing as an investment, etc. Stop just blaming our government. Some people are selfish.

These are the worst thought out ideals ever. Most houses are shared by families so you would have to kick one family out or make it into a duplex. Most renters don’t have the savings to own.

@@shauncameron8390 What city do you live in? I'm in the ''deep forest'' and I see the size of the trees that the logging trucks are taking out from here. Previously I lived near a mine, and you want be to talk about them blasting the entire mountain to get the metal? I also notice the death of millions of animals with the destruction of the forest, the clearing for hydro, the streams that do not reach lakes anymore, the desertification of my area... and more.

It's bad even here in Torontoas well as Hamilton I just visited downtown Ottawa. Their homeless problem has gotten worse from my last visit 3 years ago. People can't afford the high rents and jobs aren't paying enough to survive on

I visited Toronto in 2002, and was walking down Queen Street with my girl friend. By the time I walked 5-6 blocks my pockets were empty and I was out of smokes because I kept getting asked if I had spare change or a cigarette. The problem with homelessness was bad then, but far worse now. There are so many homeless that people develop an apathy toward them and I witnessed this first hand. Today, it's an epidemic in several major cities in Canada. I fear it will spread to the U.S. very soon.

I like this question because it acknowledges that homeless people are not completely powerless in this situation. They have some choice. There are some options for some people. There is potential for some of them to find a way out of the sand trap of poverty. Employment and making money are definitely the ideal options for those who can be employed and for those who can't, this isn't about those people, they need something else and I don't pretend to know what to do - I just have questions. How can employment meet employable people on the street? My thoughts were some kind of live-in employment. Or companies where there is a covered area to sleep if a certain amount of output is reached. It is not compassionate in the way people think of it. It's having expectations and challenging people to meet them if they are able. If they are not, they would not be worse off than they already are. It seems like a big messed up ball of yarn that needs to be pulled apart and loosened up so that individual messes can be fixed up. It's not possible to fix a balled up yarn all at once. Each separate piece is connected although kind of has to be done on its own... So for those that could work, it might regain them a sense of pride to earn their own warm, dry, safe sleeping space.

Just-tin-true-do in power. Everything goes up, rent, gas, food, taxes, crime. Only our wages stay the same, but the wage doesn't go as far.

its not just here its nations

And the insatiable, gigantic maw of greed wants more!

All is well. Never been better. As long as the PM is happy with life, we must be happy, too.

Homelessness will never cease to exist. Simply because there are people who choose that lifestyle. They have the freedom to choose that lifestyle. You can offer them homes but they way they see it is you're forcing them to go work, pay taxes, and become another cattle. I chose to live on the streets in my 20s and not gunna lie I kind of miss it because I didn't have a care in the world.

I think the ndp should make more progress in making it more expensive to live there, that will solve the problem

Guess they are doing a better job of keeping the addicts alive, now if only it was easier for them to access addiction recovery services the number of street people might go down.

The NDP “knows” everything, but does nothing…

Why not talk about the drug problem there?

i do believe we need to massively expand housing and begin putting shovels in the ground immediately, immigration should be halted until the housing crisis is resolved and we should be pushing as many people into the workforce as possible so they have some income

That will still take years. And I dout the city could catch up and that only applies for disenfranchised, single mothers etc. Reguar working stiffs do not qualify for affordble housing A grassroots campaign needs to happen to get houses that rent out to rent out bunks (For example a bedroom that can house a king sized bed should have 4 bunks and thus rent out to 4 people, cutting the cost of rent for each individual. Those that are on the streets and still employed should get into those places as there are not enough rentals by any means (this is the fault of the municipalities, in the mid 1990's the entire GVRD voted to accept condos and not apartments (property tax). Renting out 3 bed condo instead would be 8 bunks at a total of $2800 a month, thus reducing rent to $380 per bed. And depending on the size of the bedroom you could have 14 bunks with the beds only being in the bedrooms and having a full living room space with rent being $200 a month per bunk.. It'll be cramped but at least people will be off the streets.

Seems like live in jobs might be a good idea for people who are on the edge of it. Before people need to sleep outside or in a shelter. Before there is so much drug use and repeat trauma? Idk. Wish I had an answer. I do not. I know I would have loved to have help when my kids were young. Couldn't find anyone to come that I could afford. It seems like drug abuse and mental health are large parts of the homelessness increase and that doesn't equate to good, safe for kids etc, reliable workers. No judgement. It just doesn't. However, there must be some people out there who could avoid homelessness with the right live-in employment no?

Kids are getting a hold of drugs too

What's with these people ? I'm only paying $3,200 a month for my place. Super easy.
