    Not surprised. I’ve never seen so much homeless people in Montreal in Québec either. This is a serious problem. The governments are just waiting for it to go away on its own. It’s completely inhumane.

      I hate to say this, but at least you aren’t criminalizing it, against your own constitution, the way we are doing down here in the US. Waiting for it to go away is marginally better than creating slaves out of the most marginalized portion of society.

        As an American, whose country literally invented concentration camps, no, they don’t. They live in appalling conditions, inhumane conditions even. They aren’t anything like what we did to the Native Americans, or the Japanese Americans.

        Source: been homeless in the US, and been in jail in the US. I’d rather be homeless than a slave. I’ve also lived in 49/50 states. Hawaii isn’t possible to drive to.
