I only help those who are physically unable to work.. If I see a elderly homeless man i'll take the initiative and go up to them give them a couple of bucks.
But if you can physically work, you aren't getting a penny from me... this is Calgary not New York City... there are plenty of jobs in this city.

Again many people on the streets do have jobs but its not enough to pay for an apartment.
Could you live on $5.80 per hour? Could save money for a damage deposit and the first and last months of rent with that wage?
Excellent point Jaybo about AISH - its unreal that they expect people to live on about $800 per month. And if those folks actually take the initiative to try and work then they get their AISH cheque cut. Its a messed up system. [/b][/quote]
So if they have a job why are they out begging?? I give money to the elderly and the disabled, though later you will find out that alot of the disabled are really faking it.
I give to the mentally handicapped as well.
Tons of these young guys are just lazy, construction crews do hire street labour and pay them 10 bucks an hour. You CAN live on 10 bucks an hour.
