On a different note, I feel kind of awkward around homeless people, they seem like they can hear change clinking in my pocket from what seems like a football field away and suddenly i'm all over their radar when I get in close. I realize that being homeless can have its roots in a bunch of different sources (mental health issues, addiction, hard luck, etc...) but I still never give them money. I work hard for it, its mine, something along those lines. Maybe I should show some more compassion, but I honestly can't do it.

I was sitting waiting for the c-train at banff trail the other day, and couldn't figure out where this horrible smell was coming from, it was like rotten garbage mixed with more rotten garbage. I looked around and an older homeless lady probably in her 70's with a shopping cart was pulling up her pants after relieving herself on side of the road along motel alley. I was shocked and nauseated. I was so disgusted I practically sprinted to the train when it arrived.

Who knows, just my two cents, but I have a tough time tossing my money towards a cause like that. I will probably get flamed for this, but it's just my opinion.
Yeah, well don't worry, in a couple of months they'll be -15 homeless people you insensitive !
