There is The Mustard Seed, and The Homeless Hilton, that triangular million dollar building beside the Bow River which is the sinkhole for
mostly worthless bums and at the same time shows us how our tax money is being thrown away while attracting new bums from all across Canada. There is the food bank, CUPS, for food, as well as all other sorts of organizations out there set up specifically for people down on their luck. Not having to pay food or rent, a person working one or two months can EASILY save up enough for a damage deposit and rent.

Yes, I'm sure 99% of homeless people suffer from schizophrenia and have no clue what's going on.

I'm not arguing that some people genuinly fall thru the cracks and need help, I'm saying that most of these people have the means to help themselves, but choose not to because of lazyness.

That is only your opinion, of course.
