This is fucking disgusting
Now that is out of touch, or plain delusion.
Depressing to see my city make it here. Our provincial government (surprise — conservative!) does not give a fuck about how many people no longer have a place to live. It is incredibly grim.
The first step was shelter … The next step is hunger … once people start realizing they can’t afford to eat let alone figure out where to live … people will start to get desperate and do ugly things.
We’re all animals … the ones at the top with all the money and wealth have no care or sympathy for humanity, they would gather more money for themselves than try to save anyone for a penny.
And all of us at the bottom just accept all of this as normal.
And no I’m not calling for revolution… just for everyone to understand that when you don’t vote or vote for people that back business instead of people … stuff like this is going to happen.
You can go ahead and call for revolution, it’s time.
I’m in Winnipeg… I live in one of the ‘nicer’ mature neighborhoods, with parks and schools every couple of blocks. This is happening everywhere.
Some dude who appears to be experiencing some housing issues pitched a tent in the park I walk my dog in daily. We play with the kids there quite often and it’s a hub for families in the area with a Jewish education center and old folks home surrounding it. The homeless guy doesn’t appear to be bothering anyone and keeps his area tidy… I’m a bit torn as to whether or not to report him or ask the cops to rustle him out or whether to just leave him be. Having him relocated isn’t solving anything, and might just put him back under a bridge where he likely isn’t safe to stay. I know he’ll be gone by winter though, if he starts lighting fires to keep warm he’ll be gone in a hurry.
